This massive scale well planned industrial township could well be located in the USA, but it's in Ludhiana, the big industrial city of Punjab, and the largest Indian city north of Delhi. Massive warehouses, industrial sheds, factories, container depots, highway infrastructure, colony roads, well planned industrial corridors and more. All are a hallmark of the New India and the new industrial landscape of India. Nearby are located residential colonies where the workers are housed, and where back-up infrastructure is sourced from. Yes, once sleepy agrarian Punjab is turning savvy... A lovely shot of an Indian Railways train coming straight to camera can be found at 5 minutes and 6:35 into this clip!
