Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has claimed that investment worth more than Rs 80,000 crore, with a potential of one lakh jobs, was at the execution level in the state.

“It is the result of the follow-up of 350 memorandums of understanding amounting to 5.5 lakh crore signed during the Happening Haryana Global Investors’ Summit-2016,” said Khattar while addressing the national council meeting of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here recently.

Claiming that the government has been able to make Haryana an “industry-friendly” state in the last four years, Khattar said Haryana had ranked the third in ease of doing business in the country. It had secured the first rank in North India.

Announcing big ticket projects, the Chief Minister said five mega cities (panchgrams) were being developed along Kundi-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway to give a boost to infrastructure in the state. The Panchgram Development Authority would soon be set up and consultants would be hired to prepare a master plan for the project, he added.

The development of a 1,000-acre industrial city along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor(DMIC), a global smart city on 1,300 acres along Manesar-Gurugram, 1,400-acre industral model township(IMT), Sohna, and 3,300-acre IMT at Kharkhoda(Sonepat) were some of the major projects in the offing, said Khattar.
