National Industrial Corridor Development Programme
India’s 12 new Integrated Manufacturing Clusters
On 28 August 2024 the Cabinet approved a fresh tranche of greenfield industrial smart cities under the NICDP — built ahead of demand on “plug-n-play” and “walk-to-work” principles. These twelve Integrated Manufacturing Clusters (IMCs) sit across six corridors and ten states. Each one below links to its full intelligence profile.

Corridor count (11) and cluster count (12) measure different things: a corridor is a multi-state spine; an IMC is a single developed parcel on one. Figures are from the DPIIT/NICDC status reports and PIB; investment potential and jobs are NICDC projections.
