This economic boom, combined with technological advancements, has opened new doors for the rise of business parks across the nation. Government initiatives like Make in India and Digital India are fueling this growth by supporting domestic manufacturing and ensuring digital accessibility even in the remotest corners of the country. This has, in turn, made India an attractive destination for both national and international investments. The government's recent budget allocation of INR 2,500 crore towards building ready-to-use industrial areas further accelerates this transition, providing a catalyst for the expansion of business parks. The Boom of Business Parks Across India One of the most promising developments in recent years has been the rise of business parks across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. These business parks offer integrated facilities for diverse businesses and are perfectly positioned to support the growth of modern industries. As global companies pivot and diversify their supply chains post-COVID-19, the demand for such multi-functional parks has surged. Additionally, these business parks are being designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating green building certifications and decarbonization efforts to align with global environmental standards. For example, Mohali stands out as one of the fastest-growing cities attracting major businesses. The GMADA Aerotropolis, an ambitious 5,500-acre project, is a prime example of the shift towards these modern, integrated business environments. Situated in close proximity to the International Airport, this project connects multiple businesses with ease and promises ample opportunities. With IT giants like Infosys, NetSmartz Technologies, and HDFC Bank already operational in the region, Mohali is becoming a hub for innovation and business growth. The area's proximity to top educational institutions like Plaksha University and IISER Mohali further strengthens its position as an ideal location for businesses seeking to tap into a talented workforce.
