₹66,000-crore investment MoUs signed at Happening Haryana 2.0

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 in Mumbai on Monday.

The MoUs were exchanged in the presence of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh.

Addressing Consuls General, industry leaders, investors and representatives of Mumbai’s financial and corporate sector, Saini said Haryana offered 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 Chief Minister said the government believed in “project movement, not file movement”. He said an Industry-Worker Friendship Council had been constituted to resolve issues concerning the rights of industries and workers and other industrial disputes.

Highlighting Haryana’s economic contribution, Saini said the state accounted for only about 1.3% of the country’s geographical area but contributed around 3.6% to the national economy. He said Haryana had emerged as a major hub for automobiles, agro-industries, engineering, electronics, logistics, IT services and corporate activities.

Saini said MoUs worth Rs 1.10 lakh crore had recently been signed at the Industry Policy launch programme in Gurugram. Of the 123 companies that signed MoUs, 108 had already been provided land. “For Haryana, an MoU is not merely a signing ceremony but a symbol of commitment,” he said.

He said the government would develop new growth nodes by integrating district-specific clusters with land, skills and connectivity.

The Chief Minister said Haryana would give investors five guarantees — 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.

He invited industry leaders to set up ambitious projects in Haryana, assuring them of complete government support, transparent processes and swift decision-making.
