Recently, RIICO completed an e-bidding process to allocate 15 strategic industrial plots on a rental basis. Out of these, 12 plots have been designated for developing sports facilities, while 3 plots are reserved for the innovative ‘Plug and Play’ model.

Here is a breakdown of how this initiative will reshape the state’s industrial ecosystem:

A Boon for Startups: The ‘Plug and Play’ Model

Traditionally, new entrepreneurs and young startups spend substantial time, capital, and effort purchasing land and constructing factories. To eliminate these initial roadblocks, RIICO has introduced the ‘Plug and Play’ facility. Under this model, entrepreneurs get access to ready-to-use physical infrastructure, allowing them to begin operations or production immediately.

• Key Locations: The three premium plots for Plug and Play setups have been allocated at Sitapura Phase-III (Jaipur), the Agro Food Park in Boranada (Jodhpur), and the Agro Food Park in Ranpur (Kota). This setup is expected to significantly reduce go-to-market time for young business minds.

Prioritizing Employee Wellness: Sports Complexes in 10 Districts

To promote physical fitness, mental well-being, and a healthy work-life balance among industrial workers, 12 plots across 10 districts have been earmarked exclusively for sports infrastructure.

• The designated industrial areas include:
  • Jaipur: Sitapura Phase-III, Apparel Park, and Bagru (Chhitroli)
  • Kota: Indraprastha Industrial Area
  • Jodhpur: Boranada
  • Khairthal-Tijara (Alwar hub): Bhiwadi (Karoli)
  • Other Districts: Abu Road (Arbuda) in Sirohi, Jhunjhunu-II, Kishangarh in Ajmer, Pali Phase-IV, Kherda in Sawai Madhopur, and Reengus Extension in Sikar.

Revenue Generation and Lease Structure

This e-bidding drive serves a dual purpose—supporting industries while generating steady revenue for the state exchequer.

• Total Land Area: The 15 allocated plots span a cumulative area of approximately 9 acres.
• Annual Rental Income: RIICO will generate an annual rental revenue of approximately ₹2.28 crore (₹228 lakh) from these leases.
• Lease Tenure: The plots have been allotted for a primary lease period of 15 years, with a provision for a 10-year extension based on regulatory compliance and performance.

By implementing these modern industrial policies, RIICO is drastically enhancing the Ease of Doing Business in Rajasthan. This strategy will not only generate fresh employment opportunities but will also foster a healthier, more vibrant corporate culture within the state’s manufacturing hubs.

1. Margin Money Grant Now Available for Business Expansion

Previously, the ODOP policy benefits were limited strictly to new industrial units. Responding to the state budget announcements for 2026-27, the government has now extended the Margin Money Grant to existing enterprises looking to scale up their operations.

• Micro Enterprises: Eligible for a margin money grant of up to ₹20 Lakh.
• Small Enterprises: Eligible for a margin money grant of up to ₹15 Lakh.
• The government has allocated an additional budget of ₹15 Crore to support this initiative.

2. Freedom to Choose: Private Institutes for Technical Upgradation

Innovation is now more accessible than ever. Previously, entrepreneurs were restricted to government institutions for technical upgrades. Under the updated policy, ODOP units can now seek technical upgradation through private institutions as well, with a subsidy grant of up to ₹5 Lakh. This shift allows businesses to adopt cutting-edge technology and modern machinery, ultimately leading to higher quality production and lower energy consumption.

Streamlining the Path to Success

Industries and Commerce Commissioner Shri Nilabh Saxena highlighted that the application and approval process has been completely digitized to ensure transparency and efficiency. With the authority to approve applications now decentralized to District General Managers, the processing time has seen a significant reduction. Since February 1, 2026, over 350 applications have already been processed swiftly.

Furthermore, the state is investing ₹18.19 Crore across five districts to establish Common Facility Centers (CFCs), testing laboratories, and advanced storage facilities. These efforts are designed to ensure that local products not only thrive domestically but also meet stringent international quality standards.
