Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said on October 4 that the state had awarded ₹370 crore in contracts for infrastructure development and electrification across 641 hectares in Phase A of the Jodhpur–Pali–Marwar industrial region. He made the announcement at a Laghu Udyog Bharati entrepreneurs’ conference in Pali.
ANI’s report quotes Sharma identifying the contract award as that day’s development. First India News separately covered the conference and reported ₹370-crore work orders after naming Jodhpur, Barmer and Pali districts. Its broader geographic description confirms an announcement of that value, not the precise Phase A area. The 641-hectare project detail comes from ANI; the underlying award documents were not available in the reviewed material.
Sharma also said the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation, RIICO, had allotted land to more than 3,000 holders of investment memoranda and that construction was progressing at more than 800 industrial units. These are the chief minister’s wider state-level figures, not a count of completed factories within the 641-hectare phase.
The contract announcement concerns groundwork and power infrastructure. It does not establish that the industrial region is already operational or that the announced investment has produced completed facilities or a verified number of jobs. No completion timetable or contractor list was established by the reviewed reports.
