Greenfield industrial smart cities set to reshape industrial landscape , /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been appointed by the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation Limited (NICDC) as Knowledge Partner to support the development and management of 12 industrial corridors across India. The project, under the National Industrial Corridor Development Program, is expected to help transform India's industrial landscape creating a network of industrial precincts and cities to boost manufacturing capabilities, economic growth and global competitiveness. Located across 10 states and six major corridors, the project aims to build greenfield (using undeveloped land) industrial smart cities, anticipating future demand. These cities will feature pre-built base infrastructure to accelerate industrial development and support "walk-to-work" concepts, promoting sustainable, efficient industrial operations, planned urbanization and long-term environmental stewardship. Under a three-year contract, Jacobs will provide program management, including planning, design review, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation, reporting, documentation and stakeholder coordination to ensure seamless delivery across the program. "This appointment strengthens and extends our longstanding partnership with NICDC in delivering smart, greenfield developments that advance growth," said Jacobs Executive Vice President Keith Lawson. "We bring decades of program management experience to support India's industrial transformation—paving the way for economic and broader socio-economic development for years to come." With a focus on integrated development, sustainable infrastructure and seamless connectivity, the project will incorporate information and communication technologies-enabled utilities to minimize environmental impact. By providing quality, reliable and sustainable infrastructure, NICDC aims to create industrial cities that are hubs of economic activity and models of environmental stewardship. NICDC estimates the program has the potential to attract investments of approximately $18 billion and generate around 1 million direct and up to 3 million indirect jobs. Ranked as No. 1 in Program Management by Engineering News-Record, Jacobs partners with clients globally to deliver some of the world's most iconic and complex infrastructure and building programs that transform communities, places and lives for the better.
