Union minister for commerce and industry Anand Sharma on Monday said the country's first national manufacturing zone will be set up in Rajasthan. "This will boost the industrialisation and employment opportunities in the state," Sharma told reporters here, after filing his nomination paper for the June 17 biennial election to the Upper House. He said the zone would be integrated with the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project, under which mega-size infrastructure facilities would be created along with a dedicated railway freight corridor. The USD 90 billion DMIC project, under the administrative control of the Commerce and Industry Ministry, is being implemented with financial co-operation from Japan. Nearly 40% of the corridor passes through Rajasthan.
While filing his papers, Sharma was accompanied by chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Union minister for rural development and a large number of party supporters. "If voted to the Rajya Sabha, my top priority would be development and job creation in the state," he said, and thanked the party and the trade and industry in the state for supporting him. He also traced his political roots to the state. "Some 36 years ago, I was in-charge of the Rajasthan NSUI(Congress student wing) and had toured with Ashok Gehlot, who was then the state NSUI president," he recalled.

The Govt. must also look forward for corridor between - Ambala - Jodhpur - Kandla Port Corridor. It have been sought many times for 6-lane mega corridor between Ambala, Hisar (haryana), Churu, Ratangarh, Nagore, Jodhpur, Jalore, Bhinmal, Raniwara to Kandla Port. The 6-lane corridor between ambala - jodhpur - kandla port will encourage indstries on non-agriculture land and boost industries related to solar, hydrocarbons, petroleum, minerals and research of the same.
