CHANDIGARH: Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) involving investments of more than Rs 66,000 crore in Haryana were signed with various companies on the second day of the `Happening Haryana 2.0’ international outreach campaign organised by the Haryana Government in Mumbai.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said the government will develop new growth nodes by integrating district-specific clusters with land, skills and connectivity.
While north Haryana will focus on food processing, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments and logistics; central Haryana on engineering, textiles, automobiles and warehousing; South Haryana on IT, electronics, e-mobility, Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and advanced manufacturing; and western Haryana on agro-industry, renewable energy, textiles and export-oriented units.
Saini said the Haryana Government gives five guarantees to investors—policy stability; time-bound decisions and approvals; proactive hand-holding of projects; skills and connectivity aligned with industry requirements; and linking investment with local employment, MSMEs, innovation and regional development.
Inviting industry leaders to establish ambitious projects in Haryana, he assured investors of complete government support backed by transparent processes, swift decision-making and accountable governance.
Addressing Consuls General of various countries, industry leaders, investors and representatives of Mumbai’s financial and corporate sector on the second day of his Mumbai visit, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said Haryana offers investors much more than land, incentives and approvals. The state offers a strategic partnership built around scale, speed, policy certainty and shared prosperity.
He said the Haryana Government believes in project movement, not file movement, and added that the state government has constituted an Industry-Worker Friendship Council to resolve issues relating to the rights of industries and workers, as well as other industrial disputes.
Saini said that Haryana has prepared the ‘Haryana Vision Document-2047’. The state aims to take its economy beyond US$1 trillion, increase per capita income, strengthen the employability of youth and economic participation of women, and make every district an active partner in the development process.
Education and skills, healthcare, climate-resilient agriculture, smart infrastructure, balanced regional development and sustainable financial systems have been identified as key pillars of this growth strategy.
Saini said Haryana has emerged as a major hub for automobiles, agro-industries, engineering, electronics, logistics, IT services and corporate activities. Gurugram is established as a global services and technology hub, Faridabad as an engineering and manufacturing centre, and Manesar as an automobile and auto-component cluster. Districts including Panipat, Yamunanagar, Ambala, Karnal and Sonipat are also contributing to the state’s growth through their distinct industrial and agriculture-based strengths.
He said MoUs worth Rs 1.10 lakh crore were signed recently at the Industry Policy launch programme held in Gurugram. Of the 123 companies that signed MoUs, 108 have already been provided land. “For Haryana, an MoU is not merely a signing ceremony but a symbol of commitment,” he said.
Saini said that during the meeting, investors shared several important and practical suggestions based on their experience. The government will work with the concerned departments to convert these suggestions into a time-bound action plan. “Wherever required, clear departmental ownership will be ensured for implementation of the suggestions. The government will also undertake necessary reforms to simplify matters related to land, approvals and other procedures,” he said.
He told the investors that if their portfolio companies are exploring opportunities in Haryana for expansion, manufacturing, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), technology and logistics, the state government’s team is ready to remain engaged with them and provide all possible facilitation.
