The story
Bhiwadi lies next to Haryana's Gurugram-Manesar auto belt, so Rajasthan's RIICO developed industrial areas here to draw spill-over investment. Honda set up a car plant at Tapukara, and RIICO signed an MOU with JETRO to bring Japanese firms to Neemrana. Auto component, tyre and engineering units have followed.
