Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) in Agra are being developed by The Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA). The vision is to transform the city into an industrial hub. Non-polluting industries such as leather, footwear and agro-based products will be encouraged to establish operations. The project spans approximately 1,000 acres on Agra’s outskirts, specifically acquired for large-scale industrial development.

Strategically located along the Inner Ring Road, the cluster is equidistant from two major cloverleaf junctions which link to Delhi NCR and the Agra-Lucknow Expressway. This prime location ensures excellent road connectivity, dividing the site into two accessible parts. Additionally, IMC Agra will benefit from UP’s extensive expressway network, enhancing logistics and reduces travel time, making it even more attractive to investors.

The proximity of IMC Agra to NH-19 and the Agra-Lucknow Expressway significantly eases road transportation. Situated just 22 km from New Tundla Station, IMC Agra is ideally positioned to connect with the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC), facilitating efficient rail freight movement and reducing road congestion. The site also enjoys enhanced connectivity with the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC). The upcoming Jewar Airport, located 140 kilometres away via the Yamuna Expressway, will further boost air connectivity, making it easier to transport high-value cargo and providing convenient access for business travellers. IMC Agra is strategically positioned near the proposed National Waterway-110 (NW-110), with the cargo terminal at Samogar Mustakil only 1 km away. This waterway will offer a viable alternative for cargo transportation, further strengthening the region’s logistics capabilities by linking to the rail network.
