The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has issued the operational guidelines for the BHAVYA Scheme, a major Central Sector initiative aimed at building large-scale industrial infrastructure and strengthening India’s manufacturing ecosystem.
The scheme proposes the development of 100 industrial parks across the country over a six-year period from 2026-27 to 2031-32, with a total planned investment of around Rs 33,660 crore.
In the first phase, up to 50 industrial parks will be selected through a challenge-based competitive process.
BHAVYA has been designed to support the Centre’s Make in India and PM Gati Shakti programmes by creating integrated, investment-ready manufacturing zones equipped with plug-and-play infrastructure and multimodal logistics connectivity.
The guidelines outline the framework for project selection, funding, governance, monitoring and implementation. Both greenfield and eligible brownfield industrial parks will be considered under the scheme.
Minimum land requirements have been fixed at 100 acres for non-hilly states and 25 acres for hilly states, northeastern states, Union Territories and smaller states. Industrial parks of up to 1,000 acres may also be considered.
