Jambudiya-Paneli GIDC Integrated Ceramic Industrial Park – Morbi's World-Class Ceramic Manufacturing Hub

The Government of Gujarat, through the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), is developing a world-class Integrated Ceramic Industrial Park at Jambudiya-Paneli, Morbi. Spanning approximately 1,050 acres (~425 hectares), this is set to become India's largest dedicated ceramic industrial estate — purpose-built to serve the entire ceramic value chain from tiles and sanitaryware to advanced industrial ceramics.
Morbi is already the world's second-largest ceramic tile production cluster, with 1,800+ manufacturing units producing over 90% of India's total ceramic output. The new Jambudiya-Paneli GIDC park aims to consolidate and expand this dominance with modern, plug-and-play infrastructure — addressing the constraints of older, fragmented GIDC estates in the region.
At V & V Associates, we have successfully prepared and submitted over 1215+ GIDC applications across Gujarat. Our deep understanding of GIDC plot allotment processes, ceramic industry classification, and compliance requirements ensures your application for a plot in the Jambudiya-Paneli Ceramic Park stands out.
About Jambudiya-Paneli GIDC Integrated Ceramic Industrial Park
The Integrated Ceramic Industrial Park (ICIP) is located at village Jambudiya-Paneli, Taluka Morbi, District Morbi, Gujarat — situated in the heart of India's ceramic heartland along the Morbi-Rajkot belt. Planned for development during FY 2025-26, this mega-estate is one of India's largest single-sector industrial parks targeting the tiles and ceramics industry.
The park is designed as an end-to-end ceramic value chain hub, accommodating manufacturers of tiles, porcelain, vitrified products, sanitaryware, ceramic machinery, and advanced/niche ceramics. With world-class infrastructure including 137.4 MVA power capacity, a dedicated 30-35 MLD water supply from Machhu Dam-II, and integrated gas pipelines, the estate offers a true plug-and-play environment for investors.
Land Use & Plot Details
The Jambudiya-Paneli GIDC Ceramic Park spans ~425.4 hectares (~1,051 acres) with a carefully planned land-use breakdown optimized for industrial operations:
GIDC typically offers industrial plots ranging from 1,000 to 10,000+ sqm to manufacturers via competitive allotment. Plots are allotted on a 99-year lease through the online GIDC IFP portal. The land is pre-classified as Non-Agricultural (NA), so no separate NA/NOC permissions are needed — and titles are clear and loan-eligible.
Note: Specific plot sizes and exact allotment pricing for the Jambudiya-Paneli estate are yet to be officially announced. Contact our advisory team for the latest updates.

Morbi's cluster benefits from a shared ecosystem: proximity to raw material sources, machinery suppliers, testing labs (e.g. KITCO Morbi), logistics companies, and a deeply skilled workforce. The new Ceramic Park aims to expand this capacity and attract higher-value segments like technical ceramics and sanitaryware.
Existing Morbi Cluster vs. New Ceramic Park
The Jambudiya-Paneli park addresses key limitations of the existing, fragmented Morbi industrial setup:
Current Morbi Cluster
- Area: Dispersed ~60 sq.km across town
- Infrastructure: Variable quality, limited CETP/ETP
- Water: Individual supply; often scarce
- Power: Mix of grid, gensets; gas disruptions
- Training: Local institutes (KITCO)
- Plot Sizes: Often small, private land
Jambudiya-Paneli Park
- Area: Consolidated 425 Ha single estate
- Infrastructure: Uniform, high-spec roads, utilities, CETP
- Water: Dedicated 30-35 MLD from Machhu Dam-II
- Power: 137.4 MVA dedicated substations
- Training: New CoE + Skill Centre + NABL lab
- Plot Sizes: Flexible 1,000-10,000+ sqm GIDC plots
Investor Incentives & Gujarat Government Schemes
Gujarat's Aatmanirbhar Gujarat scheme designates ceramics as a "Thrust Sector", unlocking significant financial benefits for ceramic park investors:
- SGST Reimbursement: 80-100% net SGST reimbursement for 10-20 years on investments
- Interest Subsidy: 7% on term loans for Mega/Large industries (8-10 years); 5% for MSMEs (up to ₹25 lakh/year)
- Stamp Duty Waiver: 100% reimbursement on land purchase/lease stamp duty for mega industries
- EPF Reimbursement: Full employer PF contribution reimbursement (capped) for 10 years
- Electricity Duty Exemption: 100% waiver for first 5 years of operation — crucial for energy-intensive ceramic kilns
- Other Benefits: Capital subsidy, seed capital support, quality certification assistance, trade exhibition support
These incentives, combined with GIDC's concessional land rates for thrust sectors, significantly lower the effective project cost for new ceramic manufacturing units.
Economic Impact
The Jambudiya-Paneli GIDC Ceramic Park is expected to create transformative economic impact:
- Investment: Estimated ₹10,000+ crore capital infusion across factories, civil works, and common facilities
- Employment: Projected creation of 20,000+ jobs — skilled operators, technicians, engineers, plus indirect support jobs
- GDP Contribution: Expands Gujarat's manufacturing GVA (~37% of state GDP) and deepens India's ceramic export dominance
- Cluster Effect: Attracts ancillary units — packaging, chemicals, logistics, machinery — further strengthening the ecosystem
- Export Expansion: Gujarat's ports handle ~40% of national cargo; the park adds capacity for higher-value ceramic exports to global markets
