Industrial parks are special areas developed by the government or private companies where multiple industries and factories operate together. These parks have ready infrastructure like roads, electricity, and water, making it easier for businesses to grow. In India, several states have set up hundreds of such parks to attract investment, create jobs, and promote balanced industrial development across regions.

Government programs like Make in India and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) have given a big push to industrial growth. Today, newer parks focus on green energy, smart technology, and sustainable design, aligning with India’s global development goals.

This system ranks parks based on performance, infrastructure quality, and sustainability. It encourages states to maintain global standards, attract investors, and ensure environmental responsibility.
