24 Companies Propose Rs 5,500 Crore Investment for Gwalior Telecom Manufacturing Zone
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced that 24 companies have proposed investments totaling Rs 5,500 crore for Asia's first Telecom Manufacturing Zone (TMZ) in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The project, located at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Counter Magnet City, aims to create around 18,000 jobs and establish a telecom manufacturing ecosystem with 24-25 units. Due to high investor interest exceeding available land, additional land will be allocated. The initiative is a joint effort by the central and state governments to develop Gwalior as a telecom hub.
