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.
