Rajasthan Attracts Investors as RIICO Allocates 1,790 Plots

Simplified policies introduced by the Rajasthan government have boosted investor interest, with the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation allocating 1,790 industrial plots worth around Rs 32 billion over the past six months, a senior official said.

The official said the momentum reflects growing confidence among investors, noting that RIICO has also opened 20 new industrial areas for plot allocation during the period. He added that investors have signed memoranda of understanding worth approximately Rs 35 trillion with the state, of which agreements valued at more than Rs 8 trillion have already been implemented.

According to the official, the state government and RIICO have introduced new policies and simplified regulations to attract higher investment into industrial areas, generate employment and make it easier for entrepreneurs to establish and operate businesses. These measures have accelerated the pace of land allocation across RIICO-developed industrial zones.

Data for April–December 2025 shows a sharp rise in key indicators of industrial development. The value of land allocated during the period increased to Rs 32 billion, compared with about Rs 7 billion in April–December 2024. The number of plots allotted rose from around 670 to 1,790, highlighting stronger investor demand.

The value of government land acquired for industrial development climbed from about Rs 0.8 billion to Rs 11.2 billion. RIICO’s receipts nearly doubled, increasing from Rs 11.9 billion to Rs 21.3 billion, while the value of work orders issued rose from Rs 3.5 billion to Rs 6.7 billion.

Industrial expansion has also accelerated on the ground. During April–December 2025, RIICO opened 20 new industrial areas, compared with just six during the same period a year earlier, underscoring the impact of policy reforms on Rajasthan’s industrial growth.
