Neemrana Industrial Area: RIICO Estates, the Japanese Zones and Allotment Rules (2026)

1. At a glance

2. RIICO estates around Neemrana

RIICO's Land Availability page links the layout plan for each area. The Japanese Zone at Neemrana is on RIICO's list as the New Industrial Complex (Majrakath).

3. The Japanese Zones

• The zones grew out of a 2006 memorandum between RIICO and JETRO, Japan's trade promotion body.
• The figures come from the Government of Japan's progress report on Japan Industrial Townships (METI), which lists Neemrana among the townships.
• Plots in these zones are meant for Japanese companies and their suppliers. Check eligibility with RIICO's Neemrana or Ghiloth office before you plan around them.
• Business Standard reported in 2022 that more than 50 Japanese companies, including Daikin, Nissin Brake and Nippon Pipe, had invested in the Neemrana zone.

4. Vacant plots RIICO listed on 14 November 2026

RIICO's vacant plots list showed only five industrial-use plots under the Neemrana unit on 14 November 2026, from about 2,883 to 8,367 Sq.Mt.:

With so little vacant land in the older estates, most buyers here deal in resale plots and factories with RIICO's transfer permission, or look at Ghiloth and the newer estates.

5. Ways to get land around Neemrana

1. A Japanese Zone plot if you are an eligible Japanese company or supplier: apply to RIICO under the zone's terms.
2. A RIICO plot in an unsaturated estate at the prevailing rate, through direct allotment when a phase is open, or by e-auction in a saturated estate (RIICO e-auction page).
3. A resale plot or factory with RIICO's transfer permission.
4. A private park registered with Rajasthan RERA nearby; see our Bhiwadi–Neemrana corridor page.

6. How RIICO allots land in Neemrana

Saturated or not decides the route

• Saturation: under Rule 3 of the RIICO Disposal of Land Rules, an industrial area is declared saturated once 70% of its saleable industrial land is allotted.
• Unsaturated areas: plots are allotted at the area's prevailing rate of allotment, which RIICO fixes and revises for each industrial area.
• Saturated areas: plots normally go by e-auction. The successful bidder pays 25% of the premium and other dues as the e-auction rules set out, and the balance 75% as Rule 12 provides.
• Direct allotment: RIICO's Direct Allotment Scheme 2025 (Order 2/2025) offered plots at reserve rates to investors who signed MoUs at the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024, in industrial areas below 80% allotted. Where several applicants want a plot of up to 50,000 Sq.Mt., an e-lottery decides.
• Later phases: Rajasthan Patrika reported that phase 10 of direct allotment opened on 1 May 2026 with more than 5,500 industrial and logistics plots in 103 industrial areas.

What you pay (Rule 12, allotment without auction)

Under the Direct Allotment Scheme the figures differ slightly: a Rs 1,000 participation fee plus GST, 5% earnest money, then 1% security and 25% of premium within 30 days of the letter of offer.

Lease and economic rent (Rule 9)

• The lease runs for 99 years from the date of allotment.
• Allottees from 1 January 2020 pay economic rent once, as a lump sum equal to 10 years' rent, with the first 25% of premium. The plot stays leasehold.

Deadline to start production (Rule 21)

• Two years from possession (or deemed possession) if no Environmental Clearance is needed; three years if it is. This applies to allotments from 4 April 2025.
• To count as utilised, an industrial plot needs construction on at least 30% of the plot area on the ground, or the permissible built-up area ratio.
• Delays need a time extension under Rule 23-C, with retention charges. RIICO can resume unutilised land on 90 days' notice and refund the premium, forfeiting the security money (Rule 17-A).

7. Common mistakes with RIICO plots in Neemrana

1. Missing the 30-day payment window. If the 25% premium and other dues are not paid within 30 days of the offer letter, the offer lapses and the keenness money is forfeited.
2. Assuming the rate is fixed. Allotment is at the area's prevailing rate, which RIICO revises, or at the auction price in saturated areas.
3. Starting late. The two-year production deadline runs from possession or deemed possession, whether or not you are ready, and extensions cost retention charges.
4. Under-building. A plot counts as utilised only with construction on at least 30% of its area on the ground, or the permissible built-up area ratio.
5. Buying a resale plot without checking production status. A buyer of a utilised plot must start production in its own name within the Rule 21 period.
6. Sub-letting without approval. RIICO's rules treat long sub-leases as transfers and charge transfer charges.
