This paper investigates the relationship between capital investment and production efficiency in the industrial areas of Rajasthan. By analyzing secondary data from government, institutional, and scholarly sources, it explores the capital flows across various industrial clusters and evaluates how these investments translated into productivity gains or stagnations in key sectors. Focusing on major districts like Jaipur, Alwar, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Bhilwara, and Chittorgarh, the research employs both descriptive statistics and interpretive analysis to understand variations in efficiency parameters. The findings reveal a nuanced connection where increased capital investment generally correlated with higher production efficiency, conditional on the industrial mix, technological adoption, and human resource quality across regions. Policy implications for fostering sustainable industrial growth in Rajasthan are discussed at length.
