Jaipur, Oct.30,2025:The RIICO Direct Allotment scheme stems from longstanding nationwide and state policies aimed at boosting industrial investment, reducing red tape and making land easily accessible for manufacturing and allied units-
Historically, industrial land was often offered via auctions which led to inflated prices and delayed projects. In response, RIICO drafted new rules in 2024 that allow direct allotment of industrial plots at reserve rates in identified areas — especially for investors who signed MoUs under the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit.
These reforms include online application, e-lottery (in case of multiple applicants), and quicker allotment times (sometimes within three weeks) for eligible applicants.
Thus, when we talk about RIICO Direct Allotment, we are talking about a strategic lever for Rajasthan to convert MoUs into physical investment and jobs — faster.
What the Sixth Phase Offers
Plots, Locations & Scope
In this sixth phase, RIICO has earmarked around 6,000 plots across roughly 100 industrial areas statewide. The scheme period opens from 30 October 2025 (10 AM) to 13 November 2025 (6 PM).
Investors who signed MoUs up to 14 October under the Rising Rajasthan summit are eligible to apply. Selected areas include:
- Jaipur – Mathasula
- Manda (II)
- Renwal
- Kunj Bihari Pura
- Tunga
- Jodhpur – Jhak
- Bikaner – Karni Vistar and Gajner
…among others throughout the state.
Eligibility & Application Process
To access this opportunity under the “RIICO Direct Allotment” scheme you must:
- Be an investor who signed an MoU by the specified date (14 October) under Rising Rajasthan.
- Submit an online application during the window. riico.rajasthan.gov.in+1
- Deposit a 5 % earnest money deposit (EMD) at the time of application.
- Be ready to participate in an e-lottery on 18 November (in case of oversubscription) for final allotment.
Payment & E-Lottery Mechanism
Once your application is accepted-
- The EMD (5 %) is held and the allotment happens via e-lottery if more applicants than plots.
- For earlier similar phases, allotment required 25 % payment then and remainder in instalments.
- In this phase, the allotment is scheduled for 18 November via e-lottery after application window closes (as per the Hindi details).
- After successful e-lottery, allotment letter and possession follow as per RIICO norms.
Why This Phase Matters
Investment Impetus
The RIICO Direct Allotment scheme significantly lowers the barrier to acquiring industrial land for investors — especially those who already committed via MoUs. This phase, with 6,000 plots, reflects a scale of ambition.
Example: In a previous allotment, the company Sunkind Photovoltaics Ltd. was able to obtain land parcels within 60 days under RIICO’s framework, enabling them to launch a manufacturing unit for solar-PV modules.
Thus, the sixth phase is more than just land allocation — it’s a signal that Rajasthan is acting swiftly to turn commitments into real industrial units.
MSME & Job Creation Focus
The underlying policy documents show special provisions for MSMEs: removal of minimum investment thresholds, lottery-based allotment in rural subdivisions, and reserve pricing.
By making more plots available and simplifying access, the scheme aligns with job creation goals and inclusive industrial growth.
Regional Development Across Rajasthan
With 100 industrial zones included, not just the major hubs, this phase promises a geographically dispersed growth model. The benefit: industrial infrastructure in less saturated districts, balanced regional development, and improved land-liquidity for investors across the state.
Step-by-Step- How to Apply
- Check Eligibility: Confirm you have an MoU signed up to 14 Oct under Rising Rajasthan.
- Visit the Portal: Log into RIICO’s Direct Land Allotment page: the “View and Apply for Plots” section.
- Choose Plot & Area: Identify plots in your desired industrial area (e.g., Mathasula, Manda, Jodhpur, Bikaner).
- Submit Application Online: Within 30 Oct – 13 Nov window. Deposit 5% EMD as required.
- Await E-Lottery: If more applicants, e-lottery on 18 Nov will decide allotment.
- Post-Allotment: If allotted, follow payment, documentation and possession as per RIICO’s standard terms.
- Start Project: Be ready to start production within stipulated timeline (often 3 years) to avoid penalties.
Key Tips for Prospective Applicants
- Act early: Don’t wait until the deadline; peak interest may skew lottery odds.
- Choose location wisely: Assess infrastructure, connectivity, utilities, labour market before picking a plot.
- Have documents ready: Project reports, MoU copy, financials, etc may be required.
- Understand payment terms: Know when EMD is refundable (or not), the instalment structure, and timelines for production commencement.
- Opt for less-busy zones: Zones with lower demand might improve chances of direct allotment rather than lottery.
- Check policy updates: RIICO’s website shows latest notices for Direct Allotment.
Risks & Considerations
- Lottery uncertainty: Simply applying doesn’t guarantee allotment — if applications exceed plots, chance plays a role.
- Production delay penalties: The policy demands operations within a timeline (typically 3 years) — missing deadlines may trigger penalties.
- Land suitability: Even with allotment, you must ensure the plot’s infrastructure, utility hook-ups, and local permissions align with your project.
- Financial commitment: The 5% EMD and subsequent payments are real commitments — ensure your financing is lined up.
- Policy shifts: Though stable, allotment policies may evolve; closely monitor RIICO notices.
What Happens Post-Allotment
After allotment under the RIICO Direct Allotment scheme-
- The investor obtains an allotment letter and lease/lease-cum-license as per terms.
- The plot infrastructure (roads, power, water) is developed by RIICO in sequence; industrial unit must commence operations within the stipulated timeframe.
- The state monitors MoU progress and land utilisation to ensure the scheme’s goals of investment fruition.
- Successful units add to Rajasthan’s industrial growth story, and help unlock further rounds of allotment or expansion.
Since the policy emphasises converting signed MoUs into real units, this sixth phase is a litmus test of how fast the state can deploy land and how effectively investors convert that into production and jobs.
The RIICO Direct Allotment sixth phase presents a bold opportunity for industrial players: 6,000 plots across 100 zones, streamlined online application, and the chance to secure prime industrial land in one of India’s fastest-moving states. For Rajasthan, this phase underscores its ambition to translate promise into productivity and jobs.
If you are an investor with a relevant MoU, this is a moment not just to apply — but to strategise. Choose location, align your project timing, clear financing and be ready to move fast. The prize: early possession, earlier production, and the competitive edge of having land in a state actively facilitating growth.
