About
Shendra Bidkin Industrial Park is the second + third operational nodes of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) after AURIC — a twin industrial city development in Maharashtra's Aurangabad region. The Shendra portion (~3,000 acres) is operational since 2017; the Bidkin portion (~6,000 acres) is under construction with phased opening through 2027.
The twin development is integrated under the AITL SPV — same as AURIC — providing unified plug-and-play tenant onboarding + integrated infrastructure. Total investment for both phases: ₹5,000 crore, with JICA financing 60% via soft loans.
Major anchor tenants in the operational Shendra section include: Indo Schöttle (auto components), Cosmofilms (packaging), Manjushree Technopack (industrial polymers), and 50+ MSMEs in the auto-electronics cluster. Bidkin's Phase 1 (under construction) targets the heavier industrial cluster: Sumitomo (heavy machinery), Mahindra Group (logistics), and Mahindra-Renault auto manufacturing JV.
The project is significant as DMIC's second + third operational nodes — proving the AURIC model can be replicated. The combined Shendra + Bidkin + AURIC complex creates a 16,000+ acre industrial belt that is among the largest contiguous integrated industrial developments in India.
