1. Mumbai-Delhi Dedicated Rail Freight Corridor

2. Government of India is planning to develop Multi-modal High Axle Load
Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) between Delhi and Mumbai
covering a distance of 1483 Km. The DFC would link Jawaharlal Nehru
Port at Mumbai with proposed end terminals at Tughlakabad and Dadri in
the National Capital Region. The Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)
along the alignment of DFC is being plannedas a “Corridor of Future
Development” as part of the overall economic development strategy.
The two initiatives, DFC and DMIC, are complementary to each other and
can be seen as Critical Milestones for the future growth levels in the
country. The objective of DMIC would be to optimize on the present
potential and enhance investment climate and promote economic
development of the region through creation of a long term enabling
environment supported by World Class Infrastructure. The vision of DMIC
is to create a strong economic base with globally competitive
environment and state-of-the art infrastructure to attract local commerce,
enhance foreign investments and attain sustainable development.

3. The Indian government has confirmed a deal for a US$90 billion industrial
corridor, to be built along the lines of the successful Tokyo-Osaka
industrial belt in Japan. To be established with Japan's participation,
the industrial corridor will be situated beside the proposed Mumbai-Delhi
dedicated rail freight corridor. In reference to the DFC, Delhi Metro was
cited as a successful example of Indo-Japanese project development .
The project is expected to deliver a 2-3-4-5 benefit,
To double employment ,
Triple industrial output
Quadruple exports from the region in five years.
The corridor is based on the Tokyo-Osaka industrial corridor, which has
been operating successfully for 30 years and which is said to have
contributed two-thirds of Japan's gross domestic product.
Japan agreed to partner the corridor project during Indian Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh's visit to Tokyo last December.Besides the gift of a
grant, Japan will also invest heavily in the project. Industrial corridor will
have three ports, six airports and a 4,000 megawatt power plant to serve it.
According to DIPP figures, FDI inflows from Japan (as of November 30,
2006) were $46.13 billion, ranking fourth in overall FDI inflows. The $90
billion project is expected to further boost economic ties between India
and Japan, which is already the largest contributor of overseas
development assistance to the South Asian country.

4. Japan has also expressed a commitment to develop India's infrastructure by way
of investing and helping to build roads, ports and industrial parks within the
corridor. The industrial corridor will be built as a public-private partnership,
which is the norm now in mega infrastructure projects in India. With an initial
investment of $2 billion from the Indian and the Japanese governments, the
industrial corridor will emerge within 150km of the 1,483 railway freight corridor
that will cover six Indian states of Delhi (22km), Maharashtra (148km), Gujarat
(565km), Haryana (148km), Uttar Pradesh (22km) and Rajasthan (578km)

6. This Dedicated Freight Corridor envisages a high-speed connectivity for High Axle Load
Wagons (25 Tonne) of Double Stacked Container Trains supported by high power
locomotives. The Delhi - Mumbai leg of the Golden Quadrilateral National Highway also
runs almost parallel to the Freight Corridor. This corridor will be equipped with an array
of infrastructure facilities such as power facilities, rail connectivity to ports en route etc.
Approximately 180 million people, 14 percent of the population, will be
affected by the corridor’s development.
DMIC-Rajasthan
In Rajasthan, the alignment of DFC passes through Phulera-Ajmer-Marwar and over 58% area of
the state falls within the influence area of DMIC. The state of Rajasthan has rich agricultural and
mineral base. Key industrial sectors in the state include Cement, Building Stones, Gypsum,
Gems & Jewellery, Chemical, Food processing and Textiles. The emerging sectors include
IT/ITES, Auto Component and Knowledge Hubs. Based on the strengths of specific regions
across the state, five development nodes are identified in the influence area of DMIC. It includes
two investment regions and three industrial areas. Proposed project components in each
of the nodes are discussed below:
. Node No.7: Khushkhera-Bhiwadi-Neemrana Investment Region
. Node No.8: Jaipur-Dausa Industrial Area
. Node No.9: Ajmer-Kishangarh Investment Region
. Node No.10: Rajsamand-Bhilwara Industrial Area
. Node No.11: Pali-Marwar Industrial Area

7. Node-8: Jaipur-Dausa Industrial Area
Jaipur-Dausa Industrial Area would be located within 50km-100km from Phulera, an
important junction on DFC. Government of Rajasthan is considering development of a
Growth Pole at Sikandra and initiated the study for preparation of detailed project
report. Growth Pole will cater to multi-sectoral clusters as stone, carpet, leather and
dairy and will cover an area of 1250sqkm and 350 villages.
Advantages:
. Jaipur-Dausa region is connected by NH-11, which is being widened to fourlane dual
carriageway under Phase-3A of NHDP
. Broad gauge Rail linkage between Jaipur and Agra.
. Availability of Large parcels of land at comparatively lower prices as this region is
currently under developed despite immense potential.
. Proposed Industrial Area will cater to the export-import requirements at Sikandara
Growth Pole.
. Jaipur Airport will offer the air connectivity to the proposed industrial area.
Proposed Components:
. Export-oriented Industrial Units/ SEZ: This industrial area has the potential to cater
to leather, marble and carpet making industries. An export-oriented industrial park
would give a substantive boost to the sector in the region.
. Truck Terminal with Warehousing Facilities: In order to cater to the truck
parking/servicing facilities along with warehousing, communication and other logistic
infrastructure would be developed.

8. . Integrated Township: This region would be provided with an integrated township with
residential, institutional, commercial and leisure/recreation infrastructure which could be
dovetailed to requirements of specific investor groups/ countries.
. Agro/ Food Processing Zone: Agriculture predominates all over the state with about 70%
population engaged in agriculture activities. Rajasthan offers opportunities for contract
farming, processing of oil seeds, fruits and vegetables, and dairy production. Accordingly, an
agro/food processing zone with necessary backward and forward linkages is envisaged in the
industrial area.
. Jaipur Airport Development: In order to cater to the requirements of international
connectivity, Government of India has proposed augmentation of infrastructure at Jaipur
Airport. Accordingly, development of Jaipur Airport is proposed to be carried out under DMIC
project.
