Rs 162.88-cr Karnal Unity Mall project poised for completion by July 2027

Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi has lauded the steady progress of the ambitious Unity Mall project in Karnal following the crucial environmental clearance granted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change on November 17, 2025.

During a review meeting at the Civil Secretariat, he assessed the status of the Rs 162.88 crore Unity Mall project coming up on a 3.87-acre site along the Grand Trunk (GT) Road in Sector 37 of Karnal’s Industrial Estate. Designed to showcase India’s diverse MSME products under the One District One Product (ODOP) initiative, the Unity Mall is on track to finish construction by July 2027.

According to officials, excavation is progressing rapidly, marking an important step in the project’s construction. Rastogi instructed departments to strictly adhere to the approved construction schedule and uphold the highest standards of quality.

The project has received substantial financial backing from both the state and central governments. Rastogi highlighted the project’s competitive advantage due to its location on the historic GT Road, which offers excellent connectivity to Delhi, Chandigarh, and other major cities in north India. Karnal’s emergence as a growing industrial and commercial hub, along with its strategic position in the National Capital Region, significantly enhances the project’s potential impact.

The Unity Mall is envisioned as a national platform to display and market MSME products from across India, especially those crafted under the ODOP initiative. The facility will help reduce marketing costs for small manufacturers, improve visibility in domestic and global markets, and open new doors for business collaborations.

Managing Director, Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC), Aditya Dahiya told the Chief Secretary that the Unity Mall will serve many purposes, including working as a permanent exhibition centre for state-specific products, a business-to-business networking hub, and a tourist attraction that showcases India’s manufacturing strength. The project closely aligns with the Union Government’s objectives of promoting indigenous industries, expanding market access, and boosting inter-state trade through high-quality infrastructure.

The Chief Secretary directed the HSIIDC and the Directorate of MSME to ensure smooth coordination. He commended the teams for overcoming early-stage challenges and maintaining momentum. “The Unity Mall is a strategic investment in Haryana’s economic future, and we are committed to its timely and high-quality completion,” he said.
