To boost the India’s toy manufacturing industry and be in line with Vocal for Local campaign, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa announced the proposed toy cluster in Koppala in Karnataka.
This will be the India's first toy manufacturing cluster and is expected to attract over Rs 5,000 crore in investments. The proposed toy cluster will have connectivity to NH-63 and Belagavi Airport. It will be a 400-acre SEZ with top-class infra and will generate 40,000 jobs in five years.
