The first session examined laboratory expansion, Quality Control Orders and commercial testing capabilities presented by the National Test House (NTH) and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). NTH outlined capacities for drone certification, electric vehicle battery testing, aerospace components and solar equipment and described collaboration with NICDC to locate testing and sample collection centres within corridors. BIS detailed the national quality framework and the role of standards and certification in improving market access and export competitiveness.

The second session addressed the BHAVYA Scheme framework, implementation arrangements and preparation of Detailed Project Reports, covering eligibility, land requirements, special purpose vehicle structures and funding provisions. Officials said success would be measured by parks becoming operational manufacturing hubs and urged States and Union Territories to submit investor-ready proposals that demonstrate long-term viability. NICDC presented operational guidelines and a portal for submitting project information, along with appraisal and monitoring guidance.

The scheme, notified on 10 April 2026 with operational guidelines issued on 23 May 2026, carries an outlay of Rs 336.6 bn to develop 100 investment-ready plug-and-play industrial parks with multimodal connectivity, utilities and investor facilitation. NICDC noted that its experience in integrated industrial corridors and smart industrial cities provides a foundation for implementation and invited States and Union Territories to leverage scheme flexibility for locally tailored parks. The workshop concluded with a call for timely preparation of robust Detailed Project Reports, strengthened institutional mechanisms and coordinated implementation to enable rapid investment grounding.
