New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved 12 new industrial smart cities in different states with an outlay of Rs 28,602 crore to boost domestic manufacturing, said Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, while briefing the media on Cabinet decisions.
Out of the 12 industrial cities, two are coming up in Andhra Pradesh and one in Bihar.
The government in the Budget had announced the development of ‘plug and play’ industrial parks in or near 100 cities in partnership with states and the private sector to boost manufacturing.
Details of the industrial smart cities as reported by Economic Times:
Similarly, in the other four, the government’s special purpose vehicle is in the process of constructing the basic infrastructure like road connectivity, water and power supply. With eight already under the development stage and the announcement of 12 new in the Budget, the total count of these cities in the country will reach 20.
The move will help increase the share of manufacturing in the country’s GDP and create jobs, the report added.

Trunk infrastructure has been created in four cities – Dholera (Gujarat), Auric (Maharashtra), Vikram Udyogpuri (Madhya Pradesh) and Krishnapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and allotment of land plots is underway for the industry.
