The '''Bengaluru–Mumbai Industrial Corridor (BMIC)''' is a proposed [[economic corridor]] in India between [[Mumbai]] and [[Bangalore]]. The corridor is spread across the states of [[Karnataka]] and [[Maharashtra]] and passes through major cities such as [[Davanagere]], [[Chitradurga]], [[Hubli–Dharwad]], [[Belagavi]], [[Solapur]], [[Kolhapur]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Mumbai-Bangalore corridor set to create 25 lakh jobs |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Mumbai-Bangalore-corridor-set-to-create-25-lakh-jobs/articleshow/25665824.cms}}</ref> [[Satara (city)|Satara]] and [[Pune]]. The overall length of the corridor is around 1,000 km and covers an area of around 143,000 km<sup>2</sup>. The corridor is delineated around the existing [[National Highway 48 (India)|National Highway 48]] (NH48) (which connects Bangalore to Mumbai), the existing Bangalore-Mumbai railway line and the [[Dabhol–Bangalore Natural Gas Pipeline]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.egis-india.com/sites/egis-india.com/files/connect_-july_2015_0.pdf |title=Info |website=www.egis-india.com |format=PDF}}</ref>

The Indian government aims to generate an investment over {{INRConvert|3|lc}} from this corridor and expects it to create 2.5 million jobs.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Mumbai-Bangalore-corridor-set-to-create-25-lakh-jobs/articleshow/25665824.cms|title = Mumbai-Bangalore corridor set to create 25 lakh jobs|page = 1|date = 2013-11-13|publisher = Times of India|accessdate = 2013-11-13}}</ref>

During the India–United Kingdom summit in November 2013, the Indian and British governments agreed to undertake a joint feasibility study on the project. The DMICDC and the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) were appointed as the nodal agencies for the project, representing the two sides respectively. The DMICDC floated a tender to appoint a consultant for the project in November 2013, awarded the contract to a joint venture between Egis India Consulting Engineers Pvt. Ltd., ile-de-France and CRISIL Risk & Infrastructure Solutions Limited on 14 February 2014. The feasibility study was financed by the Government of India.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bengaluru-Mumbai Economic Corridor (BMEC) Project|url=http://dipp.nic.in/English/Schemes/bmec/bmec.aspx|website=dipp.nic.in|accessdate=11 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220122923/http://dipp.nic.in/English/Schemes/bmec/bmec.aspx|archive-date=20 December 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The government has envisaged at least four new cities to boost manufacturing activity across the corridor for which the detailed plan is yet to work out.
