Government of India proposes to form a National Industrial Corridor Development Authority (NICDA). The proposed NICDA would facilitate integrated development of Industrial Corridors across the country. It will channelize central as well as institutional funds while ensuring that the various corridors are properly planned and implemented keeping in view the broad national perspectives regarding industrial and city development. It will also carry out project development activities, appraise and sanction projects, implement, coordinate and monitor all central efforts for the development of industrial corridor projects.

The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is being implemented at following four locations:

i. Ahmedabad-Dholera Special Investment Region in Gujarat.

ii. Shendra-Bidkin Industrial Park in Maharashtra.

iii. Integrated Industrial Township Project in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

iv. Integrated Industrial Township Project in Vikram Udyogpuri in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.

This information was given by the Commerce and Industry Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
