The concerned land parcels are located in Dholera in Gujarat, Shendra-Bidkin in Maharashtra, IIGNL in Uttar Pradesh and Vikram Udyogpuri in Madhya Pradesh. These areas are part of the DMIC’s phase I, under which eight industrial zones are going to be created.

The firms which have received land parcels include South Korean giant Hyosung Corporation, China’s Haier, as well as dairy company Amul.

“The process of land allotment has been initiated and plots have been allotted. A total of 64 plots have been allotted till date measuring 451.01 acres and an investment of Rs 9,483 crore has been committed by the industry players,” stated a government official.
