India's economy is on the fulcrum of an ever increasing growth curve. With positive indicators such as stable 8 percent annual growth and rising foreign exchange reserves close to USD 180 billion, India is being looked upon as a major force in attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and creating employment opportunities for a vast resource of highly skilled manpower. This significant progress has laid an emphasis on the creation of world class infrastructure, which will act as a catalyst in the overall growth of the country.

Initiatives

The Government of India announced the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) Policy in April 2000 and enacted the SEZ Act in 2006. The SEZs provide an integrated development approach for boosting the exports from the country, attracting FDI, creation of employment opportunities across various sectors and the building of world class infrastructure.

IL&FS IDC Initiative in this sector

IL&FS IDC has been closely involved over the past five years with the evolution of policy relating to the governance of SEZs in the country and has recognized that the development of SEZs is an infrastructure initiative of national importance. Apart from policy initiatives, IL&FS IDC is a pioneer in SEZ development, and has been involved in development of various SEZs across the country. Today, IL&FS IDC is working on a wide range of SEZs, planned by both public sector and private sector agencies.

Industrial Corridors

Government of India plans to develop Multi-modal High Axle Load Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) between Delhi and Mumbai, covering an overall length of 1483 km, with end terminals at Dadri in the National Capital Region of Delhi and at Jawaharlal Nehru Port near Mumbai.

Government of India has further proposed to   develop a "Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) along the alignment of DFC between Delhi and Mumbai. Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor is conceived to be developed as a Model Industrial Corridor of international standards with emphasis on expanding the manufacturing and services base and develop DMIC as the 'Global Manufacturing and Trading Hub'. The vision for DMIC is to create strong economic base with globally competitive environment and state-of-the-art infrastructure to activate local commerce, enhance foreign investments and attain sustainable development.
