Gujarat is preparing to introduce a new industrial category aimed at attracting some of the country's largest investments.
Under the proposed policy, eligible ultra mega project may receive incentives worth up to 40 percent of their capital investment, a move that could significantly boost large-scale manufacturing, infrastructure, and technology investments in the state.
The proposed ultra mega category is expected to be part of Gujarat's upcoming industrial policy and will target projects with investments of at least Rs 10,000 crore while creating substantial employment opportunities.
The initiative reflects Gujarat's continued efforts to strengthen its position as one of India's leading investment destinations. By offering customized incentives and support mechanisms, the state aims to attract high-value projects across emerging and strategic sectors.
According to reports, the Gujarat government is considering creating a separate "ultra mega" category for industrial projects that exceed specific investment and employment thresholds.
To qualify as an ultra mega industrial unit, a project would need to:
The proposed framework also includes an employment-linked requirement. For every additional Rs 5,000 crore invested beyond the initial threshold, companies would need to create at least 500 more jobs.
Currently, projects with investments above Rs 10,000 crore fall under the mega project category. The new classification is expected to provide a more tailored incentive structure for exceptionally large investments.

The government is reportedly designing the policy to provide greater flexibility, allowing investors to select benefits that best suit their business models and capital requirements.
Industry experts believe such incentives could improve Gujarat's competitiveness against other states seeking large-scale domestic and foreign investments.
The draft policy is also expected to expand Gujarat's list of priority sectors. Several emerging and high-growth industries may be included under the state's thrust sector framework.
Key sectors likely to benefit include:
The inclusion of these industries aligns with India's broader push toward advanced manufacturing, sustainability, technology development, and supply chain resilience.
The policy comes at a time when Gujarat is witnessing strong investor interest in semiconductors, electronics, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing projects. The state has emerged as a preferred destination for large industrial investments due to its infrastructure, industrial ecosystem, and business-friendly policies.
With the proposed ultra mega category, Gujarat aims to attract even larger projects that can generate significant employment, boost exports, and strengthen the state's industrial base. If approved, the policy could further enhance Gujarat's position as a key manufacturing and investment hub in India.
