This comprehensive analysis by Biltrax Construction Data delves into industrial construction trends in the Central and Northeast Zone for FY 2024-25. Leveraging data from the BX-2 platform, the report highlights the manufacturing and warehousing segments of the sector. It explores significant trends and the leading players driving construction activities in these regions.
Introduction
In this final article of our Industrial ‘Zonal Analysis, Series: 2’ (Part 4 of 4), this article focuses on these two pivotal zones – the Central and Northeast Zone. The Central Zone recorded a strong wave of renewable and mining-led investments during FY 2024–25, supported by the launch of new industrial zones. Meanwhile, the Northeast Zone, with its strategic location and untapped potential, made steady industrial progress. Both regions benefited from targeted government policies and investments, fueling expansion across manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics.
This analysis examines the major developments and emerging trends in these regions during FY 2024–25 and highlights the growing contributions of both zones to India’s industrial growth story.
Overview
In the Central Zone, Madhya Pradesh declared 2025 as the “Year of Industry,” sparking major investment inflows. Proposals included 5.72 Lakh INR-Crore in renewable energy, 3.22 Lakh INR-Crore in mining, and 21,000 INR-Crore in MSME-focused schemes. The state’s multi-sector incentives aim to double its industrial GDP from 2.9 Lakh INR-Crore to 6 Lakh INR-Crore by 2030, offering freight reimbursements, subsidies for green industrialisation, wage support, and ZLD (zero liquid discharge) infrastructure.
Madhya Pradesh also attracted sector-specific proposals—engineering, food processing, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. Meanwhile, Chhattisgarh maintained its focus on steel, ferroalloys, and mineral-based industries. Major expansions came from Godawari Power & Ispat and Jindal Steel & Power in Raigarh and Bilaspur. At the same time, the state diversified into electronics manufacturing in Naya Raipur, supported by a dedicated cluster. Agro and forest-based industries also gained traction, with proposals emerging in Dhamtari and Jagdalpur.
The Northeast Zone also saw strong industrial activity, especially in food processing, agro-based industries, and logistics. States such as Assam, Tripura, and Meghalaya recorded a sharp increase in project announcements. To bridge workforce skill gaps, the UNNATI scheme introduced tailored training programs, while NEIDS (North East Industrial Development Scheme) extended fiscal incentives to manufacturing and service sector units.
National initiatives amplified this progress—the Make in India program boosted local manufacturing in textiles, handicrafts, and agro-processing. Meanwhile, the National Single Window System (NSWS) streamlined approvals, improving the ease of doing business across the region.

% Market Share (Based on Project Value)
Of the total projects tracked on BX-2 in the Central region during FY 2024-25, Madhya Pradesh led in terms of total project numbers. The state implemented 202 developments valued at 49,032 INR-Crore and spanning 35.42 Million-SqFt. These accounted for nearly 68% of the total projects mapped in the region. In contrast, Chhattisgarh recorded fewer projects – 96 in total – but with a higher average project value. Together, they covered 31.39 Million-SqFt at an estimated cost of 20,112 INR-Crore. This reflects the state’s focus on capital-intensive industries, particularly in sectors tied to forest produce and agro commodities.
Both states also advanced logistics infrastructure to strengthen supply chains. Key proposals included the Integrated Logistics Park in Raipur and the Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP) at Itarsi in Madhya Pradesh. Both projects are designed to improve regional connectivity and streamline movement across Central India.

Of the total industrial projects tracked on BX-2 in the Northeast region during FY 2024-25, Assam led in terms of total project value. The state implemented 73 projects covering an area of 8.37 Million-SqFt, having a total project value of 8,385 INR-Crore. The state alone contributed to nearly 89% of the zone’s overall project value. Assam is steering growth across renewables, high-value tech industries, and infrastructure development. A key milestone was the Advantage Assam 2.0 Summit held in February 2025, which facilitated the signing of MoUs worth 22,900 INR-Crore. These projects spanned waste management, solar energy, and ethanol production sectors. The projects are expected to strengthen industrial infrastructure while creating around 6,000 new jobs, underscoring Assam’s rising industrial prominence.
To complement this growth, the state is advancing plans to establish a Core Transshipment Hub, supported by eight satellite logistics parks. Designed to integrate road, rail, water, and air cargo, the initiative targets sub-24-hour cargo turnaround times by 2040. It also aims to boost exports of high-value products such as kiwi, ginger, and bamboo, positioning Assam as a strategic logistics hub for Northeast India. Meanwhile, Tripura earned recognition as a “Fast Mover” in the LEADS (Logistics Ease Across Different States) 2024 report. This further reflected its improved logistics infrastructure and enabling business environment. This progress has contributed to the Northeast’s overall industrial growth during the year.
