The state government of Jammu and Kashmir is eager to introduce industrialization in the state with the hope that it will support the state revenue to a considerable extent. The revenue earning of the state of Jammu and Kashmir is largely dependent on the tourism industry, but in the recent past the government is stressing on the hard-core industries keeping in mind the positive effects of in-dustrialization. Jammu and Kashmir Industrial Infrastructure is fast developing and the state government is emphasizing on the other aspects of the state to make the state favorable for the out-side industrial groups so that they come and invest in and generate the existing businesses here.

The other aspects, which should be kept in good condition to back and assist the Industrial Infra-structure in Jammu and Kashmir, are road and railway network, transport system, law and order, etc.

The government of the state of Jammu and Kashmir has already demarcated certain areas as favor-able for industrialization. These are:

Industrial Complex at Bari Brahmana in Jammu
Industrial Estate at Gangyal in Jammu
Electronic Complex at Rangreth in Srinagar
Industrial Complex Lassipora at Pulwama in Kashmir
Industrial Complex at Khonmoh in Srinagar
Industrial Growth Centre at Samba in Jammu
