From infrastructure maps to industrial intelligence
India publishes where its roads, rail, ports and airports are. This layer of the Atlas explains what that infrastructure means for industrial nodes — which companies and supply chains it serves, where it falls short of what an industry needs, and which opportunities open as it changes.
- Infrastructure development
- Connectivity change
- Industrial impact
- Supply-chain effect
- Strategic dependency
- Second-order effect
- Opportunity surface
Map
Dholera
India’s only approved commercial logic fab sits in a node whose road link has arrived, whose airport is close, and whose rail link is five years out. ICS: 55 (Moderate).
Schematic. Positions are approximate centroids; distances on dossiers are straight-line and labelled as such.
Pilot industrial nodes
Dholera
GujaratIndia’s only approved commercial logic fab sits in a node whose road link has arrived, whose airport is close, and whose rail link is five years out.
Sanand
GujaratIndia’s first working chip-packaging cluster just gained a dedicated freight-rail station — the connectivity now runs ahead of the supplier base.
Jewar–YEIDA
Uttar PradeshAn OSAT being built beside a new cargo airport — the rare Indian node where air logistics arrives before the factory.
Jagiroad
AssamIndia’s largest planned OSAT sits ~85 km from the nearest cargo airport and ~580 km from the nearest seaport — the pilot that tests the gap model.
Sriperumbudur–Oragadam
Tamil NaduIndia’s densest electronics-assembly belt sits within ~50 km of two major ports and an international cargo airport — the test of whether gateway proximity is already priced in.
Kopparthy
Andhra PradeshAn operating electronics cluster ~160 km straight-line from the nearest port and ~190 km from an international cargo airport — inland economics for an import-heavy industry.
Opportunity surfaces Opportunity surface
Analytical hypotheses that start from a sourced infrastructure or investment development. They describe where demand or capability may emerge — not procurement forecasts.
- Road-bridged materials and gas logistics for the Dholera fab before rail arrives (2026–2031)
- Fab-grade air-cargo handling at Dholera’s new airport
- DFC-linked consolidation and specialised warehousing for Sanand’s three OSATs
- A shared electronic-gas and chemical supply network across the Dholera–Sanand arc
- Air-cargo-coupled component and packaging-input supply around India Chip at Jewar
- Local consumables, maintenance and consolidation services for a remote OSAT at Jagiroad
What comes next
Approved by the Cabinet on 2026-10-06. Its planned national transport data repository and freight-flow analytics would let the Atlas replace distance proxies with observed flows. The schema is ready; no ITLA data is public yet, and none is modelled here. The programme-level view (DFC, Bharatmala, Gati Shakti, ITLA) is in the India Integrated Logistics Atlas.
The ₹10,000 crore fund approved the same day will consider manufacturing SMEs in Tier II/III industrial clusters. A future SME layer will link SMEs to these nodes using Techadyant classifications only — never implied eligibility.
Electronics, then defence, drones, aerospace, solar and EV nodes — on the same entities, so cross-sector questions can be answered on one graph.
