Government tenders in Haryana that drag on for months could soon move much faster. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has proposed a dedicated corporation — modelled on Singapore — that will handle the entire tender process for major development works, from preparing documents to awarding contracts.
The proposal came at a review meeting on department-wise budget spending at the Haryana Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. The corporation does not exist yet — its blueprint is now being prepared — but if it takes shape, roads, buildings, power and urban projects could stop getting stuck in files.
What will the Singapore-model corporation do?
The proposed corporation will handle the complete life cycle of big and important tenders of all departments under one system. Today, a tender passes through several departments and stages, and delays are common. Under the new arrangement, everything from preparing tender documents to allotting the tender will run through the corporation and expert consultants, so the process can finish quickly and the public gets the benefit of development works sooner.
Along with the corporation, the Chief Minister also suggested empanelling top consulting companies and hiring township consultants, depending on the nature of the development work. The blueprint for this framework will be prepared under the leadership of Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi.
Why is Haryana creating a separate tender body?
Delays in tenders of some departments came up during the review meeting. The Chief Minister said that if the tender process for development works is completed without delay through the corporation and specialist consultants, projects will move at a faster pace.
The move follows the 14th State Pragati Portal review earlier the same week, where the Chief Minister ordered penalties for contractors delaying major projects and barred repeat defaulters from future work. The Singapore-model corporation is the next step in the same direction — speeding up the process itself, alongside action against delays.

How is Haryana’s budget spending going?
The meeting also reviewed how departments are spending their budgets. For 2026-27, Haryana’s total budget estimate is Rs 2,23,658 crore, which is 9.1% higher than the 2025-26 budget estimate. Thirteen departments have already spent more than 50% of their annual budget provision.
| Department | Budget spent so far |
|---|---|
| Economic and Statistical Affairs | 91.8% (highest) |
| Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) | 73.7% |
| Energy | 72.9% |
| Public Works (Buildings and Roads) | 68.6% |
| Social Justice and Empowerment | 63.2% |
| Public Health Engineering | 62.9% |
The Chief Minister directed all departments to reach at least 90% budget utilisation by the end of December 2026, and to aim for 100% utilisation before the financial year ends. He said he will review budget spending again at the end of December, and no department’s spending should be below 90% by then.
What did the CM say about AMRUT funds and stadiums?
On urban infrastructure, the Chief Minister directed that the Rs 100 crore received under the Centre’s AMRUT scheme be used immediately, with no compromise on the quality of construction.
Looking ahead to future international sporting events, he also called for two to three world-class stadiums in the state. Facilities at Rai Sports University were reviewed, and the proposed stadium for divyangjan at Daulatabad in Gurugram was also discussed. Haryana is already among the leading states in sports, and the new facilities are meant to give young players a stronger platform.
What happens next?
The blueprint of the corporation is to be prepared under Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi. This is still a proposal — the corporation has not been formed, and no timeline for the blueprint has been announced yet. What is clear is the direction: tenders for big projects will no longer wait in departmental files, and the December budget review will show whether departments have kept pace.
Gurugram’s Global City is one of the big projects that could feel the difference directly — tenders for the first phase of roads there have already been completed.
