Focus on New Policies, Subsidies and Infrastructure to Accelerate Industrial Growth
Chandigarh, 7 April 2026
Haryana’s Industries and Commerce Minister, Sh. Rao Narbir Singh said that a ‘Viksit Haryana’ document has been prepared in alignment with the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’. Under this document, all departments have been directed to prepare their respective action plans, keeping in view the targets for the years 2030, 2036, and 2047, in accordance with their vision, structure, and challenges.
He stated that the National Capital Region (NCR) will remain the focal point of Viksit Bharat. Keeping this in mind, the Haryana Government has made necessary amendments to its industrial policy and has prepared the draft of the ‘Make in Haryana’ policy to position the state as a major hub for industrial investment.
Special Incentives to Promote Investment and Employment
Rao Narbir Singh said that to attract new industrial investments, capital subsidies, financial incentives for Research and Development (R&D) activities, and recruitment of youth through the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN) will be promoted.
He further informed that to maximize employment opportunities for local youth in industries, the existing employment subsidy of ₹48,000 per employee will be enhanced to ₹1 lakh per employee per year.
Revamp of Old Industrial Areas
He stated that the government is committed to improving the condition of old industrial areas established during the erstwhile Punjab era, including Sonipat, Hisar, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Nilokheri, Bahadurgarh, Barwala, and Panipat. To develop better infrastructure in these areas, a ‘Saksham Fund’ with an initial allocation of ₹500 crore has been proposed in the Budget for the year 2026–27, which is a welcome step.
New IMTs and Industrial Expansion
He informed that the land acquisition process has already begun for new Industrial Model Townships (IMTs) in Ambala and Naraingarh. In addition, proposals have been invited from farmers through the e-Bhoomi portal for developing new IMTs in Tosham, Jind, Rewari, Faridabad, and Rai.
New Industrial Policies to be Implemented
Rao Narbir Singh stated that revised drafts of 12 previously announced industrial policies have been prepared. Additionally, draft policies related to semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, toys and sports equipment, and AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics, and Extended Reality) have also been prepared. All these policies will be implemented in the year 2026–27.
Simplified and Transparent Investment Process
He said that keeping in view the cost of industrial land, HSIIDC will introduce a ‘Land on Lease’ policy, under which industrial plots will be made available on long-term lease with an option to convert them into freehold later.
Further, ready-to-use factories and sheds with plug-and-play facilities will be developed in key industrial areas of the state to accelerate the establishment and operationalization of industries.
To facilitate investors, a system will be introduced to issue ‘Land Feasibility Certificates’ within 45 working days. Additionally, an ‘Advance Ruling Portal’ will be set up to ensure time-bound resolution of investors’ queries, wherein concerned departments will be required to respond within 15 days.
The Industries Minister expressed confidence that these initiatives will give a new impetus to industrial development in Haryana and accelerate the state’s progress towards the goal of ‘Viksit Haryana’.
