New Industrial Policy soon: Rao Narbir

Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh today said no country or state can progress without industries. To boost industrial growth in the state, the government has started work on developing 10 new Industrial Model Townships (IMTs). “Land has already been identified for this purpose. A new industrial policy will soon be introduced, and drafts for various related policies are being prepared,” he said.

He said Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who also holds the portfolio of Finance Minister, has given priority to the industrial sector in the Budget. The budget for the Industries Department has been increased by 126%, with a total allocation of Rs 1,848 crore for the current fiscal. He said bringing major changes to the industrial sector over the next 5 years is his top priority as Industries Minister.

He said a new IMT will be developed in Mewat adjoining Gurugram. After Manesar, M/s Amprex Technologies Ltd. has shown interest in setting up a unit in Mewat. Out of its proposed Rs 7,083 crore investment, an investment of Rs 2,460 crore has been made by the company. He said the state government was committed to transforming Mewat into a developed district like others in the state.

He said to promote the textile industry, the state has launched the “Haryana AatmaNirbhar Textile Policy 2025” and textiles industries in Panipat, Gurugram, and Faridabad will be promoted. Under this policy, a provision has been made to give a subsidy of Rs 1,200 crore to the industries.

Rao Narbir Singh said areas with at least 10 acres and 50 proposed industrial units will be declared as “confirmation zones.” A dedicated portal for this will be made, where investors can upload their documents. A “Single Window System” has been set up in Panchkula to provide NOCs to entrepreneurs. Similar systems will be established in other districts so that investors don’t have to visit multiple offices for approvals.
