The project, named the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Counter Magnet City (SADA), has attracted investment proposals exceeding 5,500 crore, with the potential to generate more than 18,000 employment opportunities.
The TMZ is expected to cover approximately 170 acres of land made available by the Madhya Pradesh government free of cost. The Government of India is providing 100% financial assistance of ₹493 crore for the infrastructure development of the first phase of the project.

The TMZ represents a significant step towards establishing India as a global telecom manufacturing hub. What began as an ambitious vision championed by Shri Scindia is now taking concrete shape on the ground, with major industry participation, significant investment interest, and a clear roadmap for execution.
