Industry Minister Rathore’s Secret Weapon: 11,500 Acres Ready for YOUR Factory — Act Now!

On March 25, 2026, Col. Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore — Industry and Commerce Minister — stood at a press conference and announced a policy that every entrepreneur, developer, and manufacturer with ambitions in North India must know about right now: the Rajasthan Industrial Park Promotion Policy 2026

Business Standard confirmed it the same day. The Tribune covered the full framework. And as Asianet News reported from Rathore's own statement, this policy does something genuinely new: it invites fully private players to develop their own industrial parks — with four models, major subsidies, and a single-window system.

1. The Four Models — Choose What Works for You

As GKToday's policy analysis confirmed, the four development models are:

1. Model A: Build on RIICO-allotted land — least capital risk, government provides the plot

2. Model B: Arrange 80% of land yourself; RIICO provides remaining 20% — hybrid approach

3. Model C: Arrange 100% of land privately — maximum flexibility and control

4. Model D: Full PPP — government and developer share investment and returns equally

Every model requires minimum 50 acres and at least 10 industrial units — ensuring genuine industrial clusters, not scattered plots.

2. The Subsidies — Why This Is Worth Moving Fast

*      Capital subsidy: up to ₹20Cr (under 100 acres) | up to ₹30Cr (100-250 acres) | up to ₹40Cr (above 250 acres)

*      Green infrastructure bonus: up to ₹12.5 crore extra for environment-friendly facilities

*      CETP reimbursement: 50% of wastewater treatment costs — a major operating cost reducer

*      Electricity duty exemption for renewable energy use

*      Stamp duty and land conversion fee concessions

*      Approach road support: up to ₹3 crore for connecting roads to industrial parks

Applications go through the RajNivesh single-window portal — the same system that processed investment approvals at the ₹35 lakh crore Rising Rajasthan summit. RIICO is the nodal agency. Rathore's principle applies: fixed price, fast approval, no wait.

3. The Urgency Is Real — This Policy Rewards Early Movers

The policy specifically targets balanced regional development — meaning underdeveloped districts will receive priority attention and potentially higher subsidy tiers. Companies that set up in these regions early are on the best terms.

This aligns with Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat — meaning both central and state incentives can stack. If you are planning a manufacturing or logistics facility anywhere in North India, Rajasthan under this policy is now your first call. Visit the Industry department page immediately.
