New Factory & Industrial Projects in India: 2,347 Tracked

Projects India currently tracks 2,347 upcoming factory and industrial projects across India under its Other Industrial Projects scope, with a combined recorded cost of about Rs 18.82 lakh crore. Of these, 507 are verified, and 18 new projects were added to our database in the last 90 days alone — slightly ahead of the 17 added in the equivalent period before that. For EPC contractors, equipment suppliers and B2B sales teams, the pipeline is active and broad.

New factory and industrial projects in India: at a glance

Largest upcoming manufacturing and industrial projects in India

The table below lists the largest upcoming projects in our database for this scope, drawn from verified and tracked records.

Several patterns stand out. Maharashtra dominates at the top of the cost table, hosting both the Reliance Jio fibre rollout and the Twinstar LCD plant, while Gujarat anchors the renewable-adjacent manufacturing pipeline with large green hydrogen and solar PV projects. The presence of Foxconn in Thane and Twinstar in Nagpur signals that electronics and display manufacturing — historically import-dependent — is entering a serious capital-commitment phase in India. Contractors and civil works firms targeting these projects should note that the Mundra Solar PV plant and the HPCL-Mittal cracker unit are both recorded as Construction Started with an expected completion in December 2026, meaning near-term procurement windows for finishing works, instrumentation and commissioning services may already be open.

Where are upcoming factory projects concentrated?

Uttar Pradesh leads the national count with 305 projects in this scope, followed closely by Karnataka (269), Maharashtra (266), Gujarat (228) and Andhra Pradesh (226), as the chart below shows.

For suppliers and contractors, this geography matters in practical terms. Uttar Pradesh's lead is partly driven by infrastructure-linked industrial development corridors, making it fertile ground for new greenfield factory projects. Maharashtra's high count combined with its share of the largest capex values means it offers both volume and ticket size. Gujarat's clustering around Kachchh reflects the state's push into renewable energy manufacturing — green hydrogen, solar panels and storage — which creates demand for specialised process equipment, EPC services and electrical systems. Andhra Pradesh (226 projects) and Odisha (136) round out the top tier, both with large-format projects in metals, chemicals and power-linked manufacturing.

What stage are these industrial projects at?

Understanding the procurement stage of a project determines when and how a supplier or contractor should engage. The breakdown across all projects in this scope, as the chart below shows, spans the full development lifecycle.

With 1,186 projects in Planning and 569 Under Approvals, the majority of tracked projects are still in pre-construction phases where feasibility studies, environmental clearances and detailed project reports are being finalised. This is the ideal window for consultants, DPR firms, geotechnical survey teams and equipment OEMs to make first contact. The 417 projects recorded as Construction Started represent active sites where civil contractors, structural steel fabricators, mechanical erection firms and electrical contractors are the most relevant audience. A further 66 projects have received approvals but not yet broken ground — a window that is often short and competitive. The 33 projects recorded as Nearly Complete are relevant for commissioning specialists, instrumentation firms and operations-readiness consultants. To track live procurement opportunities across these stages, the live government tenders section lists factory-related and industrial tenders as they are published.

New factory and manufacturing projects added recently

Our records show 18 projects were added to the database in the 90 days before 4 October 2026. Several are of immediate interest to suppliers and contractors.

• Greenfield Aluminum Beverage Can Plant, Unnao, Uttar Pradesh — CANPACK India Private Limited, Rs 1,300 crore, Construction Started. A greenfield plant from a packaging manufacturer, already on site, indicating active civil and equipment procurement.
• EVTOL Manufacturing Unit, Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh — Sarla Aviation, Rs 1,300 crore, Approvals Received. An electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft manufacturing facility — one of the first of its kind in our database — now past approvals and approaching construction tendering.
• Battery Energy Storage System, Maharashtra — Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited, Rs 3,870 crore, Under Approvals. A large-scale BESS project from a state utility, with procurement likely to follow clearance.
• Electronic Equipment Manufacturing Facility, Noida, Uttar Pradesh — Novamax Industries LLP, Rs 200 crore, Construction Started. A smaller-scale but active greenfield electronics plant in the Greater Noida–Surajpur belt.
• Fly Ash Brick Plant, Bemetara, Chhattisgarh — Arham Ispat, Under Approvals. Cost not yet recorded; relevant for brick-making machinery suppliers and local construction material distributors.
• Industrial Shed Expansion, Mahabubnagar, Telangana — Pitti Engineering Limited, Construction Started. An expansion project for an established engineering components manufacturer, with active civil works underway.
• Precision Tools and Automobile Components Unit, Tumakuru, Karnataka — Aerotive Axis, Rs 15 crore, Under Approvals. A smaller greenfield auto-components facility in Karnataka's growing manufacturing belt.
• Machinery Facility Manufacturing Unit, Bengaluru, Karnataka — Hydro Mech Engineers, Rs 15 crore, Under Approvals. A new machinery production facility in Bengaluru.

The mix of projects added recently reflects the breadth of India's manufacturing push: packaging, aviation, energy storage, electronics and auto components all appear within a single 90-day window. Sales teams covering multiple verticals should monitor new additions regularly, as the lead time between a project entering our database and its first tender can be short.

Most active promoters in industrial projects

The promoter landscape in this scope is worth examining carefully, as the chart below illustrates.

Several government bodies — including Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam (206 projects, about Rs 2,571 crore combined) and Water Resources Department, Madhya Pradesh (58 projects, about Rs 24,937 crore) — account for a significant share of project count. This reflects that the Other Industrial Projects scope as tracked by Projects India captures a wide range of infrastructure and industrial works beyond conventional factories. For private-sector factory leads specifically, the named greenfield and expansion projects listed above — from CANPACK, Foxconn, Twinstar, Sarla Aviation and others — are the most relevant starting points. Hindustan Copper Limited, with 15 projects and a combined recorded cost of about Rs 7,721 crore, is among the more active industrial promoters worth tracking separately.

What this means for suppliers and contractors

The stage of a project determines what it buys, and matching your outreach to the right stage avoids wasted effort.

• Planning stage (1,186 projects): Promoters at this stage are commissioning feasibility studies, soil investigations, technology assessments and master planning. Consultants, DPR authors, environmental assessment firms and technology licensors should approach these leads now.
• Under Approvals (569 projects): Detailed engineering is often running in parallel with regulatory clearances. Structural engineering firms, process design consultants and pre-order equipment vendors (long lead items such as reactors, turbines and large compressors) should be building relationships at this stage.
• Approvals Received (66 projects): These projects are typically moving quickly toward tendering. EPC contractors, civil construction firms and procurement specialists should be submitting expressions of interest and pre-qualifying now.
• Construction Started (417 projects): Active procurement is underway. Structural steel fabricators, MEP contractors, instrumentation suppliers, safety equipment vendors and logistics providers are directly relevant. The HPCL-Mittal cracker unit in Bathinda and the Mundra Solar PV plant are both in this stage with near-term completion dates.
• Nearly Complete (33 projects): Commissioning engineers, testing agencies, O&M service providers and spare-parts suppliers should be engaging with these projects immediately.

For factory-specific tenders — including cement factory tenders, industrial shed tenders and manufacturing plant civil works — filtering live tenders by sector and geography will surface procurement notices as they are published. Suppliers entering a new state market should cross-reference the state-wise project count with their own capacity to service sites.

How to track these projects

Projects India maintains a database of 84,497 projects tracked nationally, of which 2,347 fall under the Other Industrial Projects scope covering new factory and manufacturing projects. Each record includes promoter details, location, cost where available, procurement stage and expected completion where recorded. The projects intelligence database allows filtering by state, stage, sector and cost band so sales teams and contractors can build a focused pipeline rather than monitoring an undifferentiated feed.

For teams new to the platform, a free sample project report is available to evaluate the depth of data before subscribing. The contractor and supplier directory (VendorConnect) also allows firms to list their capabilities so that promoters and EPC leads can find them. Teams looking beyond industrial projects can explore the new EPC projects in India overview or the upcoming solar projects pipeline for adjacent opportunities in the manufacturing-linked energy sector.
