We are taking major steps towards improving the business climate and encouraging private investments in various sectors including physical and social infrastructure development on Public Private Partnership. A comprehensive Industrial and Investment Promotion Policy had been released by the State Government. It addresses a wide range of issues such as infrastructure development, ease of investing, human resources and land availability. Subsequently, the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2010 has been announced as a package of financial incentives and subsidies. We have also introduced a statutory Single Window System (SWS) and an online electronic clearance mechanism for time bound approvals on investment proposals. I firmly believe that investors in the State will surely be benefited by the ample opportunities Rajasthan has to offer.

Rajasthan...
a world renowned tourist destination

Rajasthan is one of the most picturesque parts of Incredible India and the state is one of the most favoured tourist destinations in the country for both, domestic and foreign tourists. Its desert dotted with rugged forts and beautiful palaces, lakes, wildlife and bird sanctuaries, charming cities, fairs and festivals, and colourful culture form the most fascinating and unique basket of attractions for any tourist. Tourism accounts for about 15% of the state's economy. During the calendar year 2010, up to December, the number of tourist arrivals in the State was 26.8 million (25.5 million domestic and 1.3 million foreign). Cities of Rajasthan, especially Jaipur and Udaipur, are very popular MICE destinations. They host scores of conferences of national and international level. These cities and many lesser known destinations are also host to lavish destination weddings. Rajasthan has a well developed tourism infrastructure, with over 6,000 hotel rooms in more than 150 hotels. Of these, over 1,400 rooms belong to the heritage category. Some renowned players like the Taj and Oberoi groups have a strong presence at multiple locations. Their properties like the Rambagh Palace, Rajvilas and Udaivilas regularly feature among the best in the subcontinent. Other major players in the sector include ITC-Sheraton, Radisson BLU, Holiday Inn, Le Meridien, Marriott, Royal Orchid to name just a few. Ranthambore National Park Dundlod Haveli Pushkar Fair

Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)

The Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) is 1,483 km long rail corridor connecting the Jawaharlal Nehru Port near Mumbai to Dadri near Delhi. DFC will allow high-speed connectivity for high axle load wagons (25 tonne) of double stacked container trains supported by high power locomotives. A band of 150 km has been chosen on both sides of the DFC to be developed as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC).

DMIC in Rajasthan
With nearly 39% of DFC passing through Rajasthan, opportunities for industrial establishment along the route are eminent, as the corridor will make Rajasthan easily accessible to western and northern markets. About 60% of the State's area falls within the project area of influence including major districts such as Jaipur, Alwar, Kota and Bhilwara. With this, the State will be positioned as an attractive destination for setting up industrial and support infrastructure units. Khushkhera-Bhiwadi-Neemrana industrial region has been identified to be developed as an Integrated Industrial Township in the first phase and JodhpurPali-Marwar area has been identified as an industrial area.

To ease the process of filling forms, a web-interface has been specially developed. Here the investor can register, fill forms online and submit them. The investor can also monitor the application status easily.

Single Window System for Investment Approval

The constant endeavor of Government of Rajasthan has been to build a welcoming investment climate by systematically reducing administrative bottlenecks and easing the process of investment and setting up. The core objective of policy initiatives is to make the State an easier place for business with lower transaction costs and increased transparency. Towards this, a Single Window System has been introduced which is a single point interaction mechanism for entrepreneurs to interact with the State for seeking statutory approvals for their projects. Reflecting the commitment of the Government, the system has been put in place by enacting the Rajasthan Enterprises Single Window Enabling and Clearance Ordinance, 2010. The Ordinance is a legislation that provides a statutory mechanism for single point services to businesses and is aimed to encourage investments by helping the investors with any clearance related hassles and paper works. Keeping with the times, the entire process of application and monitoring is through a web-enabled software, called the Single Point Electronic Monitoring and Clearance System. Using this web-interface, entrepreneurs can register and fill forms electronically, and check status of individual application forms.
