The Uttar Pradesh (UP) government has acquired nearly 1,000 acres for large-scale industrial development in Agra towards transforming it into an eco-friendly manufacturing hub. The state launched an integrated manufacturing cluster (IMC) in Agra, which will focus on promoting non-polluting industries, capitalising on the city’s rich heritage in leather, footwear, and agro-based products.

The government aims to leverage its strategic location and modern infrastructure. The project features smart bus stops equipped with a citizen mobile application, digital signage, solar panels, and Wi-Fi spots for integrated utility management. An integrated command and control centre (ICCC) with an ambient air quality monitor has been installed at IMC Agra. The project will be anchored by the UP State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA).

IMC Agra will also benefit from UP’s extensive expressway network, allowing for enhanced logistics and reduced travel time, making it even more attractive to investors. Situated 22 km from New Tundla Station, IMC Agra is located near the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC) and the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC).

The upcoming Jewar International Airport will be 140 km away via the Agra-Greater Noida Yamuna Expressway, providing air connectivity for high-value cargo and access to business travellers.
