National Industrial Corridor Development Programme
India’s 12 new Integrated Manufacturing Clusters
On 28 August 2024 the Cabinet approved a fresh tranche of greenfield industrial smart cities under the NICDP — built ahead of demand on “plug-n-play” and “walk-to-work” principles. These twelve Integrated Manufacturing Clusters (IMCs) sit across six corridors and ten states. Each one below links to its full intelligence profile.
