Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma on Saturday announced a slew of projects for Rajasthan, including India’s first national manufacturing and investment zone and a Rs. 100 crore footwear design centre. “Rajasthan will be the first State to have National Manufacturing and Investment Zone (NMIZ), along with the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC),” Sharma said after meeting Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot here. The Centre has floated a concept paper on the proposed NMIZs, which will be mega-industrial towns with integrated infrastructure. Sharma was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan.
The USD 90 billion DMIC project would run in six States along the dedicated freight corridor of the Railways. The minister also said that an Industrial Infrastructure Up-gradation Centre will be set up, possibly along the DMIC. He also said that a Footwear Design and Development Institute (FDDI) for specialised training will be set up at Jodhpur at an estimated cost of Rs. 100 crore and a Rs. 15 crore spice park at Ramganj Mandi. The Commerce and Industry Minister further said the Coffee Board will organise a Trade Fair in Jaipur in October and will also train people on roasting and grinding coffee. In addition, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) will set up another pack -house at Bassi for export of vegetables from Rajasthan.
