Srinagar : Jammu & Kashmir secured a record ₹5,824 crore in investments in 2025-26, 13 times the average annual investments recorded before 2021. This is an outcome of the Centre’s ₹28,400-crore special industry scheme for the Union Territory, officials said, which has been oversubscribed more than three times.
For the first time in J&K, multiple investment units with a valuation of more than ₹500 crore each have been set up, according to details accessed by ET . Three such units have already started production. In a recent review, it was found that of 440 units registered under the New Central Sector Scheme for J&K, 390 have started production. The high strike rate, officials said, is in contrast to the previous attempts, when investments were pledged but only a few took off.
