Growth in development

The growth rate is very high for industries here, due to a well developed infrastructure in Joya.

The Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project is a state-sponsored industrial development project aimed at developing an industrial zone spanning across six states in India. The project will see major expansion of infrastructure and industry – including industrial clusters and rail, road, port, air connectivity – in the states along the route of the corridor. The ambitious Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) has received major boost with India and Japan inking an agreement to set up a project development fund. The initial size of the fund will be Rs 1,000 Crore (about $212 million). Both the Japanese and Indian governments contribute equally.

The corridor would include six mega investment regions of 200 square kilometers each and will run through seven states: Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh, southern Haryana, eastern Rajasthan, eastern Gujarat, and western Maharashtra. Indrapuram-Moradabad-Kashipur-Haldwani is one of the investment regions selected for development in the first phase of the ambitious Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. More than 59 per cent of Western Uttar Pradesh's area comes under the project area of this ambitious DMIC project, which is extended up to 150 km on both sides of the alignment of the Delhi-Mumbai Dedicated Freight Corridor. This would open a floodgate of opportunities all along NH-58, NH-2, Yamuna Expressway and NH-24 for developing industrial, urban and supporting infrastructure through public-private initiatives, seven investment regions and 13 industrial areas have been planned along this Corridor and Hapur-Moradabad-Rudrapur-Khatima is one of the investment regions selected for development in the first phase. The Growth Centre Bawal has been evolved as a mega industrial hub and large numbers of multi-national companies have selected Gajraula as their manufacturing base.
