Jaipur, April 28 (IANS) With a focused push on infrastructure, policy reforms, and ease of doing business, Rajasthan is fast emerging as a preferred destination for investors across sectors, officials said on Tuesday.

According to a recent report, Rajasthan has made an impressive jump in the investment rankings, securing the third position in the Financial Year (FY) 2025.

This marks a sharp rise from its eighth position in FY 2024, underscoring the effectiveness of the state government’s proactive approach toward economic growth and industrial expansion.

One of the most striking highlights is the exponential increase in total investments.

The state has witnessed nearly a fourfold rise, with investment figures soaring from Rs 1.10 lakh crore in FY 2024 to an impressive Rs 4.65 lakh crore in FY 2025.

This surge reflects growing investor confidence and the success of targeted initiatives aimed at attracting both domestic and global capital.

In addition to financial growth, the number of projects has also expanded considerably.

Rajasthan recorded 873 projects in FY 2025, compared to 501 in the previous financial year.

This growth indicates not only increased investment inflows but also a broader diversification of sectors contributing to the state’s development.

Infrastructure development continues to be a key driver of this progress.

The Public Works Department is currently managing eight mega highway projects with a combined value of Rs 57,000 crore, significantly enhancing connectivity and logistics across the state.

At the same time, Rajasthan is strengthening its position as a leader in renewable energy, with ACME Cleantech Solutions committing Rs 11,000 crore toward solar power projects.

The sustained efforts of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma are beginning to show tangible results, as the state records a significant surge in investments and development activity.

“These developments collectively highlight Rajasthan’s transformation into a dynamic and investment-friendly state, positioning it as a major contributor to India’s economic growth story,” officials said.
