Around November 2025, the Government of Rajasthan announced plans to introduce 12 new industrial and sectoral policies to accelerate economic development, promote investment, and enhance infrastructure. With 22 sectoral and investment policies already implemented, the new additions will cover emerging sectors including semiconductors, defence and aerospace, green hydrogen, sustainable industries, and data centres. Rajasthan's Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has positioned the state as a preferred investment destination following the Rajasthan Rising — Invest Rajasthan Summit and subsequent follow-ups. Rajasthan is already India's leading state for renewable energy — with installed capacity exceeding 30 GW (solar and wind) — making green hydrogen a natural extension of its energy transition strategy. The state's strategic location bordering Pakistan makes it significant for defence manufacturing corridors. Additionally, Rajasthan's MSME sector, with over 26 lakh registered enterprises, forms the backbone of its industrial economy. The new policies align with India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and the government's goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy. The Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS) framework underpins investor facilitation, with the new policies expected to generate lakhs of employment opportunities across districts.
