Integrated Industrial Township, Greater Noida

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently inaugurated the Integrated Industrial Township in Greater Noida (IITGN), a smart township spread over 750 acres. The Rs 1,700 crore project aims to compete with the world’s best manufacturing hubs by providing all necessary industrial infrastructure and facilities.

Companies Invest Over Rs 4,000 Crore

The IITGN has been jointly developed by the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor and the Greater Noida Authority. So far, eight major companies, including Haier, Forme Mobile, and Guru Amardass have invested over Rs 4,000 crore in the township and created around 11,000 jobs.

Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor

  • Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is the first industrial corridor in the country.
  • This corridor is being built along the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) between Delhi and Mumbai, covering a total distance of 1504 km.
  • The DMIC passes through the states of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi National Capital Region, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra.
  • It starts at Dadri in Delhi NCR and terminates at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust near Mumbai.
  • In essence, this ambitious project stretches across a vast swathe of western India spanning the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra, leveraging the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor as its backbone.

IITGN is one such city now ready for investors worldwide with every facility required for business and daily life. The project is set to benefit western UP.
