The industrial heartland of Indore has taken a giant leap forward in bolstering India's manufacturing capabilities. Authorities have successfully assembled a vast industrial land bank of approximately 6,500 hectares spread across eight districts. This strategic move comes in direct response to soaring demand from manufacturers, which is now translating into significant land allotments, massive capital inflows, and substantial job creation for the region.
Record Investments and Job Creation in 2025
Official data reveals the powerful impact of this ready land availability. In the year 2025 alone, authorities allotted 1,285 hectares to 125 industrial units. These allotments come with proposed investments worth a staggering Rs 21,695 crore and are expected to generate an estimated 66,795 new jobs. This data underscores the region's accelerating momentum as a premier investment destination.
Himanshu Prajapati, Executive Director of MPIDC Indore, highlighted the diversified nature of the investment interest. He stated that the region is attracting a healthy mix of large anchor units and mid-sized manufacturers. "We are receiving proposals across a wide spectrum of sectors," Prajapati explained. This includes textiles and apparel, paints and coatings, metals and engineering, food processing, logistics and warehousing, as well as allied manufacturing.
PM MITRA Park and Sector 7 Emerge as Powerhouses
A significant portion of the investment pipeline is linked to the ambitious PM MITRA park. This dedicated textile park has attracted major integrated players like Trident, Arvind, Best Life, and Jain Cord Industries, who have already taken up land. Officials expect this park to anchor large-scale textile and apparel manufacturing, positioning the region as a global hub.
Beyond textiles, the industrial township in Sector 7 has emerged as another focal point for growth. This area has seen strong interest from companies establishing standalone manufacturing facilities. Notable firms securing land here include industry giants such as Asian Paints, JSW, and New Zeal, alongside several other domestic and international players.
Speeding Up Project Execution
Prajapati emphasized that the proactive creation of a ready land bank is a key factor in accelerating industrial development. "Land preparation is being taken up in advance so that investors can move quickly once allotments are made," he said. This approach minimizes delays and allows businesses to commence construction and operations faster, enhancing the region's competitiveness.
Development work is currently underway on several parcels within the extensive land bank. Officials have indicated that additional areas are expected to be opened up for allotment in the coming months. With a healthy pipeline of more proposals under active review, the Indore industrial region is poised to announce further land allotments and investment commitments, solidifying its status as an economic powerhouse in central India.
