The Government of India as well as all the State Government are giving tremendous focus on industrial growth and are therefore promoting set up of new industrial units and expansion of existing units. The sole objective behind the above goal is generating opportunities for employment and bringing prosperity to the nation. In the recent past, the State of Rajasthan has also seen rapid industrial growth especially in the region attached to Delhi-NCR namely Alwar, Bhiwadi, Khuskheda, Neemrana etc. This is because of continuous efforts put in by the Government of Rajasthan to attract investments from aspiring industrialists. The State of Rajasthan is highly attractive from the point of view of investment in industrial sector because of many factors such as cheaper land bank, availability of low-cost labour, low power cut, abundance of minerals like zinc, copper etc. and most importantly the investor friendly outlook of State Government.
