Projects India tracks an active pipeline of Other Industrial Projects across India, with Uttar Pradesh accounting for 326 tracked projects in this sub-sector — the highest of any state in the country. Other recent investments in the Noida corridor include a Rs 1,100-crore electronics component manufacturing expansion by Lava International and a Rs 200-crore electronic equipment manufacturing facility by Novamax Industries LLP, both at construction stage.
Stage Breakdown: Where the Pipeline Stands
Across the Other Industrial Projects sub-sector nationally, Projects India tracks 2,678 live projects. The stage distribution reveals a substantial volume of work in early development: 1,186 projects are at the planning stage, 570 are under approvals, and 419 have commenced construction. A further 67 have received approvals and are approaching construction, while 277 have been completed and 54 are on hold.
This distribution indicates that a significant portion of future award activity is still maturing through planning and approval processes, giving suppliers and contractors a meaningful window to engage with project owners ahead of formal procurement. Twenty-two new projects were added to this sub-sector in the last 90 days alone, reflecting continued momentum.
Geographic Concentration of Industrial Project Activity
Beyond Uttar Pradesh, the sub-sector's tracked projects are heavily concentrated in Karnataka (313), Maharashtra (306), Gujarat (281), Andhra Pradesh (266) and Madhya Pradesh (146). Suppliers with operations or logistics reach across these states are well positioned to address a broad share of the active pipeline.
