Rajasthan charts path to $4.3-trn green industrial economy by 2047

13 Nov 2025 CW Team

The Rajasthan Government has unveiled ‘Developed Rajasthan @2047’, an ambitious long-term strategy aimed at transforming the state into a major industrial and renewable energy powerhouse by 2047. The roadmap targets a $4.3 trillion economy, positioning Rajasthan as a significant contributor to India’s future growth.

A key component of the blueprint is raising the share of manufacturing and industry to 20 per cent of the Gross State Value Added (GSVA) by 2047. Leveraging its vast desert landscape and high solar irradiation, the state seeks to emerge as a national leader in clean and renewable energy generation.

The strategy is built around four core pillars:

• Social empowerment

• Rapid economic expansion

• Sustainable development

• Governance reforms

Thirteen priority sectors have been identified, spanning renewable energy, manufacturing, agriculture, tourism and infrastructure, among others. Milestone targets for 2030, 2035 and 2040 have been set to track the state’s progress over the next two decades.

Delivering on this vision will require sustained investment in industrial infrastructure, energy transition, skill development and private-sector participation. The plan reflects a decisive shift from Rajasthan’s traditional agrarian and mining-driven economy towards a future anchored in industrialisation, green energy and sustainability, in line with India’s broader development goals.

Govt To Roll Out V2V Tech To Cut Road Crashes

In an effort to curb road accidents, particularly in low-visibility conditions such as dense fog, the government is set to roll out vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology that will allow cars to exchange real-time data and alert drivers to potential dangers. The announcement was made by Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari after the 43rd meeting of the Transport Development Council. The technology involves installing an on-board unit (OBU) in vehicles, enabling wireless data exchange between nearby cars. This will allow vehicles to share information such as spee..
