Kadi (Gujarat), Aug 28 - The upcoming Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) will expedite Gujarat's industrial development and help it emerge as a financial hub in Asia, said Chief Minister Narenda Modi here Friday.

'It's my dream to make Gujarat a great financial power. The day will come when Gujarat, along with Japan and Singapore, will dominate the Asian economy,' Modi said after inaugurating the new plant of Hitachi Home and Life Solutions India, a subsidiary of Japan's Hitachi Appliances.

The industrial corridor, being developed in cooperation with the Japanese government, 'is a golden opportunity for development', Modi said.

The 1,483-km dedicated freight corridor will pass through Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and the National Capital Region (NCR) with end terminals at Dadri in the NCR and Jawaharlal Nehru Port near Mumbai.

The project aims to double employment, triple industrial output and quadruple exports from the region in five years.
