Rajasthan’s New Industrial Policy 2026 to Boost Investment, Jobs and Infrastructure
The Rajasthan government has launched the Industrial Park Promotion Policy-2026 to accelerate industrial expansion, attract private investment, and generate employment across the state. Led by Bhajanlal Sharma, the policy aims to build a modern, investment-friendly industrial ecosystem.
Policy Vision and Objectives
The policy is designed to strengthen Rajasthan’s industrial base in line with national programmes such as Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat. It promotes balanced regional growth by encouraging industrial development in both advanced and backward regions. The broader goal is to increase manufacturing output, enhance economic activity, and create large-scale employment.
Development Models and Key Provisions
The framework outlines multiple models for industrial park development, including private-led projects, hybrid land-sharing arrangements, and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode. For privately developed parks, a minimum land area of 50 acres and at least 10 industrial units are mandatory. These provisions aim to ensure operational efficiency, scalability, and sustainable cluster development.
Incentives and Ease of Doing Business
To improve investor participation, the policy offers several incentives such as electricity duty exemptions for renewable energy usage, reduced stamp duty, and concessions on land conversion charges. A single-window clearance system through the Raj Nivesh Portal has been introduced to streamline approvals. The government will also facilitate essential infrastructure like roads, electricity, and water supply through shared investment mechanisms.
Focus on Sustainability and Industrial Growth
Sustainability is a key pillar of the policy. It includes financial support of up to 50% for setting up Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP), along with capital subsidies for infrastructure development. These measures aim to promote environmentally responsible industrialisation while ensuring long-term economic growth.
