Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh is set to host Asia’s first Telecom Manufacturing Zone (TMZ), with an estimated investment of ₹5,500 crore and the potential to create more than 18,000 direct jobs. The proposed zone is expected to accommodate around 24–25 telecom manufacturing units producing various equipment and devices. The first phase will cover approximately 170 acres across SADA and the IT Park. The project also includes a proposed Common Testing Lab costing ₹500 crore. Improved road, rail and air connectivity, along with a strong technical education base, are expected to support the development of the telecom manufacturing cluster in Gwalior.
