AURIC Industrial City: Western India's Most Significant Premium School Gap
India's first greenfield smart city under DMIC with INR 71,343 crore investment potential, 62,400 projected jobs, yet just one foundation-branded IB school and no community-open international school in the AURIC corridor create an unprecedented first-mover opportunity.
Aurangabad-AURIC: Maharashtra's Emerging Industrial & Education Hub
AURIC Industrial City under Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor creates unprecedented demand for premium schools serving expatriate and executive families.
AURIC Industrial City: India's First Greenfield Smart City
AURIC (Aurangabad Industrial City) spans 10,000 acres as India's first greenfield smart city under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). With 323 plots allotted across 3,029 acres, Hyosung (Korea) manufacturing operational, and INR 50,000 crore hybrid car manufacturing announced, the corridor is rapidly industrializing.
Critical Gap: No Community-Open International School in the AURIC Corridor
Wockhardt Global School is Marathwada's only IB Continuum school (PYP, MYP, DP), but it sits inside the MIDC Shendra SEZ as a foundation-branded institution. The one active Cambridge IGCSE school, Stepping Stones International, is on the Sawangi corridor, not the AURIC zone. Expatriate and senior-management families in the AURIC corridor have no community-open international school nearby, representing immediate addressable demand.

Current School Landscape: Premium Segment Analysis
Aurangabad's school market is dominated by CBSE and state board schools. The district's only IB school, Wockhardt Global, runs a full IB Continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) but is foundation-branded and inside the Shendra SEZ. The only active Cambridge IGCSE school, Stepping Stones International, is a combined campus on the Sawangi corridor, leaving the AURIC zone without a community-open international school.
No Community-Open International School in the AURIC Corridor
Expatriate and senior-management families in the AURIC corridor have no community-open Cambridge or IB school nearby: the active IGCSE school (Stepping Stones) sits on the Sawangi side and the IB school (Wockhardt) is foundation-branded inside the SEZ. A first mover can own the corridor.
