Economy of Kuchaman City

The Kuchaman city being a small partially urban town has still retained their simple lifestyle comprising of the basic necessities. This town is under the able governance of the Municipal Corporation, which has always looked after the economic and social development of the place. At present Kuchaman has got well planned road networks, with sanitation and public works.

Post 2000, Kuchaman had seen a slow upsurge in industrial growth with Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation Limited (RIICO) coming into the picture. Kuchaman city has become one of the principle trade centres of the entire state. In spite of all this industrial development, Kuchaman and its neighbouring regions have remained largely dependent on agriculture. The natives of this town are mostly into agricultural production and distribution.

Being a part of the Thar Desert, this area has a hot and dry climate condition. In spite of that Kuchaman probably has one of the highest levels of underground water with clayey loamy soil condition, making it favourable for agriculture. Wheat, bajra, jowar, pulses, barley and til are the main crops cultivated over here. In some land patches people can find mustard seeds, grape seeds, moong gram and chaula. Rice is also produced at some parts of Kuchaman with the first rain of July. These produces are mostly used to cater to the district’s consumption, since agricultural outputs are very limited in quantity.

The industrial growth started off slowly small manufacturing units and village industries cropping up. People at that time were potters, blacksmiths, carpenters and goldsmiths with small shops. Besides these traditional businesses, Khadi Industries had also flourished with time. Many small factories are being formed in Kuchaman and its neighbouring places, which have products like woollen carpets, leather goods, rope making and soaps.

The Rajasthan Khadi Gram Udyog Board have provided low interest loans to the enthusiasts so that the entire community becomes self sufficient. Salt is another major industry of this region with many salt producing plants present. The salt industry has in turn helped in the formation of industrial plants of Caustic Soda, Soda Ash, Chlorine and Sodium Sulphate. There are multiple iodised salt refinery plants in operation. Moreover, with RIICO forming up one of its industrial bases in Kuchaman city has helped in the entire economy growth of the region. Mahaveer Industries, S.K. Salt Industries, Kailash Salt Industries etc. are few of the plants present in this area.

All these industrial growth has boosted the economy in a positive way but have not been able to take out the traditional essence of the place, which still has got a hint of the imperial past.
