The '''Amritsar Delhi Kolkata [[Industrial corridor]] (ADKIC)''' is a proposed [[Economy of India|economic]] corridor in [[India]] between the cities of [[Amritsar]], [[Delhi]] and [[Kolkata]], developed by the [[Government of India]].

It is an ambitious project aimed at developing an Industrial Zone spanning across seven states in India with benefits for 20 cities under these states. The project is intended to bring about major expansion of infrastructure and industry in the states along the route of the corridor.

The corridor encompasses one of the most densely populated regions in the world and houses about 40% of India's population. This is a region which needs a major push for industrialization and job creation.

{{As of|2014|1|20}}, the [[Government of India]] has approved the project.<ref>http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-01-20/news/46374679_1_national-manufacturing-policy-delhi-mumbai-industrial-corridor-eastern-dedicated-freight-corridor</ref>

The development of ADKIC be taken up in a band of 150-200 km on either side of EDFC, in a phased manner. In the first Phase, every State could promote at least one cluster of about 10 km<sup>2</sup>. area to be called Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC), in which 40 percent area would be earmarked permanently for manufacturing and processing activities. ADKIC will use both the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) approach and non-PPP approach. The non-PPPable trunk infrastructure will be developed by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) or Implementation Agency vested with the task of setting up the IMCs, through grant-in-aid.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pmindia.nic.in/press-details.php?nodeid=1697 |title=Inter Ministerial Group presents report on Amritsar-Delhi-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (ADKIC): Press Releases: Prime Minister of India - Dr. Manmohan Singh |publisher=Pmindia.nic.in |date=2013-09-18 |accessdate=2014-01-16 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224115625/http://pmindia.nic.in/press-details.php?nodeid=1697 |archivedate=24 December 2013 }}</ref>
