General201684 sections14 chapters

The Rajasthan Special Investment Regions Act, 2016 regulates the establishment, administration, and planned development of large industrial and economic zones called Special Investment Regions in the state of Rajasthan. It applies to designated land areas, private business developers, and regional development authorities, while generally exempting existing municipal and village residential areas from its direct administrative control. This legislation matters because it accelerates economic growth and infrastructure creation by bypassing local governance hurdles. By establishing dedicated regional authorities and fostering public and private partnerships for land development, the act streamlines administrative approvals to attract major investments throughout the state.
