NICDC to Develop 100 Plug-and-Play Industrial Parks under BHAVYA Scheme

The National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC), operating under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, is set to implement the BHAVYA scheme, an ambitious initiative to develop 100 plug-and-play industrial parks across India under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme (NICDP).

Plug-and-Play Industrial Parks for Ease of Business

Under the BHAVYA scheme, NICDC will create industrial parks with pre-approved land, ready infrastructure, and integrated services, designed to facilitate ease of doing business. These parks will feature streamlined approval processes, including single-window systems, enabling faster establishment of industries and reducing bureaucratic delays.

Aligned with the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, the BHAVYA industrial parks will prioritise multimodal connectivity and efficient last-mile access. Infrastructure planning will include provisions such as underground utilities, ensuring reliable, efficient, and sustainable industrial operations.

Leveraging NICDC’s Expertise

The BHAVYA initiative builds on NICDC’s proven experience in developing industrial corridors and smart cities, aimed at expanding industrial infrastructure, promoting balanced regional growth, and supporting sustainable industrialisation. NICDC is currently implementing 20 projects across 13 states, focusing on greenfield industrial smart cities to enhance manufacturing competitiveness, attract investments, and generate employment.

Additionally, NICDC serves as the Project Management Agency for seven PM MITRA Parks under the Ministry of Textiles, facilitating integrated manufacturing ecosystems in the textile sector.

Successful Industrial Nodes

NICDC-developed industrial nodes, including Dholera, Shendra-Bidkin, Vikram Udyogpuri, and Greater Noida, have demonstrated success in integrated planning, infrastructure development, and investor-ready ecosystems, strengthening India’s industrial base and manufacturing capabilities.

These smart cities feature:

• Plug-and-play readiness with pre-developed land and infrastructure
• Multimodal connectivity via road, rail, and logistics networks
• Integrated industrial and urban planning
• Digital monitoring and service delivery systems
• Sustainable infrastructure, including green energy and water reuse
