The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is being developed by the Government of India as a global manufacturing and investment destination supported by world class infrastructure and enabling policy framework. In essence, the DMIC project is aimed at the development of futuristic, smart industrial cities in India which will converge and integrate new generation technology across sectors. In addition to new cities, the project envisages development of infrastructure linkages like dedicated power plants, assured water supply, high capacity transportation and logistics facilities, as well as softer interventions like skill development programme for employment of the local populace. The DMIC cities will address not merely the urbanization requirements of India, but with manufacturing as the main economic base, will also contribute significantly to the overall economic growth. The project is being developed in partnership and collaboration with Government of Japan.
