A historical transformation is underway in Jammu & Kashmir. With the unveiling of several progressive laws, economic and industrial reforms, the Government has paved the way for accelerated economic growth and all-round development of the region. The objective of the government is not only to propel growth and create employment but also to ensure sustainable development.
There are several infrastructure projects underway which shall change the face of Jammu & Kashmir. Some of these projects are Udhampur Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link project, NH-44 Jammu – Srinagar expansion, Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway, Twin Medi-cities, Institute of Management Science, All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), Logistics parks, Ports, Smart Cities and IT Parks.
A new Industrial Development Scheme of Rs 28,400 crores has been unveiled for attracting investment in UT, besides creating opportunities for the youth. Sectors like handicrafts, food processing, horticulture, tourism, education, skill development, sports, culture, and the entertainment industry are growing at a rapid pace. Jammu and Kashmir has become promising yet untapped destination for investors.
The government is also paving way for urban & real estate revolution in Jammu & Kashmir. Under the newly introduced J&K Development Act, the term “being a permanent resident of the State” as criteria has been “omitted”, paving the way for investors outside J&K to invest in the UT. As a result, any citizen of India can buy Non-Agriculture Land in Jammu & Kashmir.

- housing demand in UT of J&K is 2.5 Lakh dwelling units, out of which 30% is in urban areas.
