03 About Jalna

Manufacturing gateway
of Central India.

Jalna is not starting from zero. It already makes steel, seed and feed for the country, with the industrial base to support what investors build next.

More than 10% of India's long steel products are manufactured and rolled here. Jalna is also Maharashtra's seed capital and an established centre for feed processing. Industry benefits from continuous, uninterrupted CNG supply and a workforce built for manufacturing at scale.

A national-scale Multi-Modal Logistics Park anchors the district's freight economy. With the Samruddhi Mahamarg, rail sidings, the nearest airport 45 minutes away, multiple airports within 300 km and India's top six industrial hubs within 500 km, Jalna is positioned as a manufacturing and logistics gateway for Central India.

The summit brings investors into this existing ecosystem - where power, finance and responsive administration are aligned with industry - to explore new facilities, supplier opportunities and value-added manufacturing.
