The development will occupy approximately 1,000 hectares within the Dighi Port Industrial Area, covering parts of Mangaon and Roha talukas in Raigad district. It will deliver integrated industrial zones, commercial areas, common infrastructure, utilities and internal road networks alongside designated open spaces. The scheme aims to enable companies to access ready-built facilities and shared services.

The project is designed to establish a world-class integrated life sciences manufacturing ecosystem that will provide end-to-end infrastructure and shared facilities for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences companies.
