Summary

The zone will initially occupy about 170 acres, split between the Counter Magnet City area and an information technology park, with plans to expand later.

Around 24 companies have begun the application process, and the project is expected to create over 18,000 direct jobs.

The government will provide incentives such as reduced land lease rates, cheaper power, and a common testing laboratory valued at about five hundred crore Indian rupees.

Gwalior’s strong transport links, including a high‑speed rail corridor, an upgraded airport, and a large pool of engineering graduates, are key strengths for the zone’s growth.
