The National Manufacturing Policy envisages establishment of dedicated industrial investment zones for manufacturing to cater to the huge domestic market and the international markets. The Industrial Corridor proposes establishment of dedicated Zones for manufacturing & promoting investments, with the intention to make the country as a hub of manufacturing activity to cater to the vast domestic markets and international markets.
