Other important industrial areas include Shendra-Bidkin in Maharashtra and the Dighi Port area, which will improve connections to India's western ports.
Although the DMIC was first announced in 2007 progress has been slow with challenges such as land acquisition and delays in securing funding.
However, the project remains a priority for India's long-term development strategy.
The first phase, which is currently underway, includes building roads, airports, and railways to support the new cities and their industrial zones.
By improving infrastructure, the DMIC aims to make India more competitive in global trade.
The corridor will also feature renewable energy projects like solar plants, in line with India's commitment to sustainable growth.
The DMIC is being developed in stages, with full completion expected by 2040.
