Strategic Location and Access to major Markets

Rajasthan's proximity to major markets in Northwestern India makes it an attractive location for investment:

• The state abuts five major states (Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat) which have a combined population of 350 million and a combined GDP of US$ 155 billion during 2009-10.
• Rajasthan comprises 23% of the National Capital Region (NCR), the world's second largest urban agglomeration.

Rajasthan is also well connected by road and rail to the large market of Maharashtra (GDP of US$ 180.6 billion, during 2009-10), on India's West Coast.  The state is also connected to international markets via the ports of Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Mumbai and Kandla Port and Mundra Port in Gujarat.

The Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor will further enhance access to ports and the prosperous Northern and Western markets of India.
