Piyush Goyal Launches BHAVYA Portal for 100 Industrial Parks

The newly launched portal will serve as a single digital platform for project submission, evaluation, monitoring and implementation.

Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has launched the BHAVYA Portal, marking a major step in the implementation of the Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojana (BHAVYA), the government's flagship programme aimed at developing 100 world-class industrial parks across India.

Speaking at the launch event in New Delhi, Goyal said the scheme will encourage states to compete by submitting detailed proposals showcasing their industrial strengths, available land, investor interest and sector-specific opportunities. The initiative is designed to attract large-scale investments, generate employment and strengthen India's manufacturing ecosystem.

The newly launched portal will serve as a single digital platform for project submission, evaluation, monitoring and implementation. It is expected to streamline coordination among central and state governments, industry stakeholders and implementing agencies while ensuring transparency throughout the project lifecycle.

Industrial Parks to Offer Plug-and-Play Infrastructure

Under the BHAVYA Scheme, industrial parks will be developed in different sizes based on regional requirements. Parks in hilly regions, smaller Union Territories and Northeastern states may be as small as 25 acres, while larger parks near urban centres could extend up to 1,000 acres.

State governments will provide land, while the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC) will partner with states under a 51:49 model to create infrastructure. The parks are expected to provide ready-to-use industrial facilities, including reliable water and power supply, road and rail connectivity, digital single-window clearances and, where feasible, air connectivity.

Goyal said the parks will be designed according to the needs of specific industries, whether manufacturing, chemicals, data centres or other sectors. Investors will be able to access detailed information about land availability, connectivity and infrastructure through digital platforms, helping them make informed investment decisions.

The government is also exploring dedicated spaces for startups, deep-tech companies, research and development activities, worker housing and Global Capability Centres. Possibilities for international industrial enclaves in partnership with countries such as Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Switzerland are also being considered.

₹34,000 Crore Scheme Targets Jobs and Investment Growth

Approved by the Union Cabinet with an outlay of ₹33,660 crore, the BHAVYA Scheme is planned over six years and seeks to create integrated industrial ecosystems supported by modern infrastructure, digital governance systems and sustainable development features.

Goyal said the programme aims to reduce delays often faced by businesses in acquiring land and obtaining approvals. The scheme will provide investors with a more predictable and efficient environment for establishing operations.

Applications submitted between 1 June and 31 July 2026 will be considered for the first phase involving 20 industrial parks. A further 30 parks will be selected from applications received by 30 September, while later phases will be shaped by lessons learned from the initial rounds.

The Minister expressed confidence that the investment of nearly ₹34,000 crore will attract substantial domestic and foreign investment, generate direct and indirect employment, strengthen Centre-State cooperation and support the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.

Officials from DPIIT and NICDC said the portal will play a central role in accelerating project approvals, improving accountability and enabling real-time monitoring of progress as India enters a new phase of industrial infrastructure development.
