What Is the 70% Target and What Does It Mean for You?
An MoU is a promise of investment, not a done deal. A common complaint has been that big investment announcements stay on paper. The new target answers that complaint: seven out of every ten agreements should become a factory, a manufacturing unit or an office on the ground.
When companies set up units, jobs open up for people with different skills and qualifications. Local suppliers, transport companies, service providers and smaller industries also get work. No job-count figure has been officially announced yet — this information has not been officially announced so far.
Where Has the Rs 2.37 Lakh Crore Come From?
The agreements followed the Haryana Investor Roadshow and the launch of the new industrial policy in June 2026. According to the Industries Department, roadshows were held in Japan, Singapore, Mumbai, Karnal and Gurugram to reach out to investors.
The state government is also preparing for the Happening Haryana Global Summit in April 2027, where more investment is expected.
How Is the Government Helping Investors?
Commissioner and Secretary, Industries and Commerce, Dr Amit Kumar Agrawal said every MoU is being followed up regularly. A special team has been set up to help investors find private land, in addition to the industrial estates of the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) and land in private industrial parks.
- Four Udyog Sathis have been appointed in every district to guide investors.
- The department has asked the Finance Department for an extra Rs 500 crore.
- The minister directed officials to clear pending cases of Central government subsidies for the MSME sector quickly.
- Pending petitions under the Firms and Societies Act will be settled, and amendments to the Act will be placed before the House in the coming Assembly session.
What Is in It for MSMEs and Small Businesses?
There is relief for small businesses too. Under the Plug and Play Policy, MSMEs can get a subsidy of up to Rs 5 lakh. Proposals for the Haryana Multi-Modal Logistics Plan and the Haryana EV-Cargo Logistics Scheme are also ready.
The 250-Acre Urban Hidden Park in Manesar
HSIIDC has proposed an Urban Hidden Park on about 250 acres in Manesar, modelled on Delhi’s Lodhi Garden and Nehru Park. The first phase will cover 83 acres, and an agency has been asked to prepare the Request for Proposal (RFP). The park will act as green lungs for Gurugram.
Who Attended the Meeting?
Director General, Industries, Yash Garg, HSIIDC Managing Director Vinay Pratap Singh, Additional Director (MSME) Bharat Bhushan Gogia and other officials attended the meeting. The minister said investors would be given every possible help, so that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Viksit Bharat-2047 can be realised.
