• The Narasapura Industrial Area in Karnataka was conceived as a catalyst for regional industrialization and is now among the state’s largest manufacturing and logistics hubs.
• Timeline and Establishment
• Origins: The idea for Narasapura Industrial Area was driven by the need to boost manufacturing in Karnataka, leveraging policies like the National Manufacturing Policy (NMP), which aimed to raise India’s manufacturing GDP share to 25% and create millions of jobs.

• Launch and Expansion: The first phase launched industrial activity with rapid establishment of major plants. Within two years, companies like Honda, Scania, Exedy Clutch, and Volvo started operations. Subsequent phases led to major expansions, with over 700 acres initially and plans for 2000+ acres.
• Development Drivers: The area’s growth owes much to its location along NH-75 (Old Madras Road) and proximity to Bengaluru and Kolar, as well as strategic government planning through KIADB and the Bangalore-Chennai Industrial Corridor.
