UPSIDA Unveils IMC Agra: A Cutting-Edge Industrial Hub with Premier Connectivity and EcoFriendly Advantages

The Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) is delighted to announce the launch of the Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) in Agra. This transformative project promises to reshape the industrial landscape with its strategic location, stateof-the-art infrastructure, and commitment to sustainability. The IMC Agra project is set to become a premier industrial hub designed to accommodate nonpolluting industries, leveraging Agra's rich heritage in sectors like leather, footwear, and agrobased products. This cluster will serve as a catalyst for economic growth, fostering industries with strong backward and forward linkages and benefiting from the region’s existing skilled workforce and local expertise. Agra’s commitment to environmental preservation, notably the Taj Trapezium Zone established by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, makes it an ideal location for eco-friendly industrial operations. IMC Agra aligns with these environmental goals, offering a pollution-free environment conducive to sustainable industrial practices. This project’s location is a key factor in its attractiveness for investment. Positioned along the Inner Ring Road, it is equidistant from two major cloverleaf junctions: NH-19, connecting to Delhi NCR, and the AgraLucknow Expressway. This prime location ensures seamless road access and divides the site into two well-connected parcels. The IMC benefits from Uttar Pradesh’s extensive expressway network, enhancing logistics and reducing travel time.The proximity to NH-19 and the Agra-Lucknow Expressway facilitates smooth road transportation. Situated 22 km from New Tundla station, IMC Agra is well-positioned to tap into the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC), promising efficient rail freight movement and reducing road congestion. The site’s strategic placement also enhances connectivity with the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC). Furthermore, the proposed Jewar Airport, 140 km away via the Yamuna Expressway, will boost air connectivity, supporting high-value cargo transportation and easy access for business travelers. Moreover, IMC Agra is strategically located along the proposed National Waterway-110 (NW-110), with a cargo terminal at Samogar Mustkil just 1 km away. This waterway will provide an efficient alternative for goods transport and connect to the rail network, further enhancing logistical capabilities. The project spans approximately 1,000 acres on the outskirts of Agra, acquired with a vision for large-scale industrial development. The limited availability of industrial land in Agra, combined with high resale costs in existing estates, presents a unique investment opportunity. The project’s comprehensive infrastructure and strategic location make Agra an increasingly attractive destination for investors. IMC Agra is not just a cluster but a beacon of modern industrial infrastructure. It includes Smart bus stops with digital signage, solar panels, and Wi-Fi spots, alongside a Citizen Mobile Application for integrated utility management. A robust ICT and SCADA system with fiber optic networks, UPS, and diesel generator backups. An Integrated Command and Control Center (ICCC) with ambient air quality monitors to ensure stringent environmental controls. UPSIDA’s newer aspiration IMC Agra represents a forward-thinking approach to industrial development, combining environmental sustainability with cutting-edge infrastructure and unparalleled connectivity. UPSIDA invites investors to explore the myriad opportunities presented by this transformative project, poised to drive economic growth and enhance the industrial landscape of Agra.

These two projects in the coming years will change the industrial landscape of Uttar Pradesh and UPSIDA is leaving no stone untouched in helping our Hon’ble Chief Minister of UP Shri Yogi Adityanath’s vison of making UP a 1Trillion dollar economy- CEO UPSIDA Shri Mayur Maheshwari
