Jaipur, 20 November 2025.
The Rajasthan Global Capability Center (GCC) Policy–2025, approved in the Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, is set to make Rajasthan a preferred destination for Global Capability Centers. The strong business ecosystem in key cities, affordable operational costs, and attractive subsidies under the new policy make the state highly conducive for companies seeking to establish GCCs.
Better Connectivity & Lower Operating Costs Make Rajasthan GCC-Friendly
Rajasthan’s industrial landscape has transformed positively over the past two years, driven by robust infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and investment-friendly policies. Under the Chief Minister’s leadership, the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 secured MoUs worth ₹35 lakh crore, out of which ground-breaking for about ₹7 lakh crore has already taken place.
With improved connectivity—especially to the NCR region and the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)—Rajasthan provides GCC investors seamless access to major industrial hubs and markets. Compared to India’s larger metro cities, the operational cost of services and resources is significantly lower in Rajasthan’s major cities, making the state even more attractive for GCC investment.
Simplified Application Process via RajNivesh Portal
The GCC Policy–2025 streamlines the application and approval process:
Interested companies must apply through the RajNivesh Single Window Portal.
A Project Evaluation Committee (PEC) will examine detailed project reports and submit recommendations to the Project Approval Committee (PAC) within 60 days.
The PAC will make a final decision within the next 60 days.
The Executive Director of RIICO will chair the PEC, while the Administrative Secretary of Industries & Commerce will chair the PAC. The Industries & Commerce Department has been designated as the nodal department for GCC applications.
Policy to Support Local Talent Development
GCCs have emerged as critical hubs for innovation, efficiency, and value creation for multinational companies. They operate in domains such as technology, finance, HR, research, analytics, and more—helping companies enhance their global competitiveness while also upskilling local talent.
The Rajasthan GCC Policy–2025 aims to:
Establish over 200 GCCs in the state by 2030,
Create 1.5 lakh jobs, and
Contribute significantly to India’s projected $100 billion GCC industry.
Cities such as Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur will be developed as GCC hubs.
Attractive Incentives Under RIPS–2024
GCC units will receive benefits under the Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme (RIPS–2024), including:
Capital Investment Subsidy: 30% of project cost (excluding land & building) up to ₹10 crore.
Land Cost Incentive: 50% reimbursement of land/lease cost up to ₹1 crore.
Payroll Subsidy: For the first 3 years, 30% of employee salary (up to ₹1.25 lakh per employee per year), capped at ₹10 crore per GCC per year.
Rental Assistance:
First 3 years: 50% of rent,
Next 2 years: 25% of rent,
Maximum ₹5 crore per GCC per year.
Skill Development Reimbursement: 50% of training cost up to ₹2.5 crore per GCC per year.
Additional benefits include green incentives, R&D support (50% assistance on patents, copyrights, etc.), and exemptions in stamp duty and electricity charges.
India’s GCC Landscape
In 2024, Global Capability Centers in India employed 1.9 million people and contributed $64.6 billion to the economy. By 2030, the contribution of India’s GCC industry is projected to rise to $110 billion.
