According to officials, the decision is aimed at giving a boost to industrial development and creating new employment opportunities at the local level.

“Industrialisation is a key pillar of economic prosperity. The government is working to ensure that every district of the state benefits from planned, sustainable, and environmentally friendly development,” Sharma said.

Officials added that the establishment of the new industrial area will accelerate industrial investment in the region and attract small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) seeking to expand operations in central Rajasthan.

The project is also expected to generate direct and indirect employment for hundreds of people in and around Bhilwara.

The decision is part of the state government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen industrial infrastructure and create a business-friendly ecosystem under Chief Minister Sharma’s leadership.

The proposed industrial area in Dhuwala will provide modern infrastructure, better connectivity, and logistics support, enabling industries to set up and operate efficiently.

Officials said the move is expected to give further momentum to Bhilwara’s growing industrial base, particularly in non-polluting sectors such as textiles, engineering goods, and renewable energy.
