If you are planning to set up a factory or business in Rajasthan, you have almost certainly come across the name RIICO — the Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation Limited. RIICO is the state government's apex agency for promoting industrial growth across Rajasthan. However, many people confuse two things: a RIICO office and a RIICO industrial area. These are not the same thing, and understanding the difference can save you a lot of time. This article explains both clearly and tells you exactly how to contact RIICO for any query or work.
What Is RIICO? — A Quick Overview
RIICO was established in 1980 with the primary objective of accelerating industrial development in Rajasthan by making critical resources and infrastructure available to industries of all sizes. Today, RIICO has developed over 360 industrial areas across the state, covering approximately 85,000+ acres of land, with more than 42,000 industries currently in production within these zones. Beyond land development, RIICO also functions as a financial institution, providing loans to large, medium, and small-scale industrial projects. It has 30 regional offices spread across Rajasthan to manage and administer all these areas.
💡 Key Insight: RIICO is one organisation — but its offices and its industrial areas are two separate things. The office is where administration happens; the industrial area is the physical land where factories and businesses actually operate.
What Is a RIICO Office?
A RIICO office is an administrative location from which RIICO manages its operations — including land allotment, lease management, maintenance oversight, legal matters, and financial transactions. There are three levels of RIICO offices:
- Head Office (Headquarters) — Jaipur: This is RIICO's main office, located at Udyog Bhawan, Tilak Marg, Jaipur. All major policy decisions, new industrial area planning, top-level approvals, and corporation-wide administration happen here. The Managing Director and senior management operate from this office.
- Regional Office (Senior Regional Manager's Office): RIICO has 30 regional offices spread across Rajasthan, each covering one or more districts. These offices handle plot allotment applications, lease renewals, NOC issuance, and other administrative tasks for the industrial areas under their jurisdiction. If you want to apply for a plot or resolve a mid-level issue, this is the office you visit.
- Estate Office / Unit Office: This is the ground-level office located inside or adjacent to a specific industrial area. It handles day-to-day matters such as maintenance complaints, electricity and water supply issues, security, and routine upkeep. If your factory is in a RIICO area, this is your first point of contact for any operational problem.
What Is a RIICO Industrial Area?
A RIICO industrial area is a developed land zone where RIICO has acquired land, built infrastructure — roads, power supply, water supply, drainage, street lighting — and made plots available for industries to set up and operate. These areas are spread across cities and smaller towns throughout Rajasthan. RIICO allots plots in these areas on a long-term lease basis for industrial, commercial, and ancillary purposes including shops, weighbridges, hotels, and nursing homes. Some of the most prominent RIICO industrial areas include:
- Sitapura Industrial Area, Jaipur
- Neemrana Industrial Area, Alwar (home to the Japanese Industrial Zone)
- Bhiwadi Industrial Area, Alwar
- IPIA (Industrial Production & Investment Area), Kota
- Boranada Industrial Area, Jodhpur
- Mewar Industrial Area, Udaipur
- Kukas Industrial Area, Jaipur
- Brij Industrial Area, Bharatpur
To get a plot in any of these areas, you must apply through the relevant RIICO regional office or participate in an e-auction through the official RIICO portal.

- Lease renewal, NOC, or transfer of plot → Contact the Regional Office that manages your industrial area.
- Loan or financial assistance → Contact the Head Office, Jaipur or the Financial Advisor directly.

Conclusion
To summarise: a RIICO office is the administrative body where you go to get work done — applying for plots, renewing leases, filing complaints, or seeking financial assistance. A RIICO industrial area is the physical land zone that RIICO has developed, where your factory or business will actually be located. Both are part of the same organisation, but they serve very different purposes. If you are looking to set up an industry in Rajasthan, start by identifying the RIICO industrial area closest to your preferred location, then contact the relevant regional office or reach RIICO directly at riico@riico.co.in or 0141-2227751 to begin the process.
