The Rajasthan government has approved a sweeping set of policy decisions, including the creation of a dedicated National & International Pravasi Rajasthani Affairs department, a major ₹ 15,600 crore joint venture for energy, a new Global Capability Centre (GCC) Policy–2025, and significant land allocations for solar power and transmission infrastructure.
At a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, the newly formed Pravasi Rajasthan department was officially greenlit. The department is set to engage with Rajasthani communities abroad, address their concerns through a formal policy structure, and deepen cultural and economic connections. Deputy Chief Minister Premchand Bairwa stated that the initiative will not only create a platform for diaspora dialogue but also host events such as Pravasi Rajasthani Divas, establish a portal to register overseas Rajasthani associations, and organise exchange programmes.
In parallel, the cabinet approved the GCC Policy-2025, with the goal of attracting more than 200 global capability centres to Rajasthan by 2030. The policy is forecasted to generate approximately 1.5 lakh jobs. Incentives proposed include payroll support, rental assistance, capital subsidies, and reimbursements for land or lease costs. Ministers also emphasised support for green research and innovation under the policy.
On the energy front, the government sanctioned a ₹ 15,600 crore joint venture between RVUNL (Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd.) and SCCL (Singareni Collieries Company Ltd.). Under this JV, 800 MW of coal-based power capacity will be developed at a mine site, with the investment pegged at ₹ 9,600 crore. Simultaneously, the JV will also deploy 1,500 MW of solar capacity in the state, with an investment of around ₹ 6,000 crore.
To support this energy push, the cabinet approved land allotments in key districts: more than 580 hectares have been earmarked in Bikaner and Chittorgarh for solar park development, while 70.6 hectares have been granted in Barmer for a 765 kV transmission substation. These steps are intended to strengthen the state’s renewable energy infrastructure and boost its transmission capacity. 
In addition, two existing state colleges will be renamed to honour donors: the Government College in Kalandri (Sirohi) will be rechristened Sanghvi Hirachandji Phoolchandji Government College, while the Kailash Nagar Government College will become Matushree Puribai Punmaji Mali Torso Government College.
State officials framed the portfolio of decisions as interconnected: the diaspora department will help channel global investment and partnerships into Rajasthan; the GCC policy will build a stable ecosystem for high-value jobs; and the energy JV and land allotments will accelerate the state’s transition to cleaner power.
Economic analysts have welcomed the package, noting that it signals Rajasthan’s ambition to transform from a historically resource-rich state into a modern innovation and clean energy hub. However, some observers have urged the government to ensure rigorous environmental assessments for new thermal capacity and strict timelines for project execution to prevent delays.
