INDORE: The Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) will commence the allotment of plots in several new industrial zones throughout the Indore region starting in April. The initiative aims to attract sectors like confectionery, food processing, plastics, and other MSME-driven industries.
According to Himanshu Prajapati, the executive director of MPIDC Indore region, “MPIDC is planning to begin land allocations in new industrial areas by April. We are developing at least nine new industrial zones in Indore to draw investments across various sectors, including food processing, confectionery, plastics, engineering, and other MSME segments.”
Officials indicated that this expansion is part of a broader strategy to enhance industrial infrastructure in and around Indore, which continues to experience strong demand from both MSMEs and large manufacturers. The planned areas will feature essential infrastructure such as roads, power supply, water access, and connectivity to major highways, streamlining the business operations.
The most significant of these developments is the new industrial township, Sector 8 at Bardari in Indore district, covering 451 hectares. This is followed by a 275-hectare industrial cluster at Khawasa in the Seoni district and a 256-hectare area at Tarapur in Neemuch district.
Additionally, MPIDC intends to develop Sector 9 at Bhatkhedi in Indore district, spanning approximately 208 hectares to accommodate large-scale manufacturing units.
In conjunction with these larger projects, smaller industrial clusters are also being established to support MSMEs and ancillary industries. These include Nimrani Phase 2 (61 hectares), Rayan (35 hectares), Bhavsinghpura (32 hectares), and Machal (23 hectares).
Industry representatives noted that the availability of developed industrial land in organized clusters will facilitate MSMEs in expanding their operations and attract new investors to the Indore region, a vital manufacturing hub in Madhya Pradesh.
