Make in Haryana Industrial Policy to lay foundation for $1 trillion economy: Narbir

Haryana Industry and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh on Wednesday said the upcoming Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2025 will serve as a foundation for the state’s contribution to India’s goal of becoming a trillion-dollar economy by 2047.

Addressing a stakeholder consultation meeting in Gurugram, the minister said the policy has set ambitious targets of attracting Rs 5 lakh crore worth of investments and creating 1 million new jobs in the state.

“Haryana will play a pivotal role in fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a developed India by 2047. Industry has a crucial role in making the nation self-reliant and globally competitive. The government is fully committed to safeguarding your interests. At the same time, you must focus on producing high-quality, affordable and market-friendly products so that Haryana’s industries remain competitive at the global level,” Singh said.

He further emphasised Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s commitment to accelerating industrial growth. “If industry grows, the nation grows. The government will extend all necessary support and facilities to you,” he assured. Singh also promised that suggestions raised by stakeholders would be “thoroughly examined and incorporated into the final draft.”

Beyond ease of doing business

Commissioner and Secretary, Industries and Commerce Department, Dr Amit Kumar Agrawal, said the government’s approach is shifting from only “ease of doing business” to also ensuring “reducing the cost of doing business” and “the right to do business.”

“The new policy is not confined to financial incentives but equally focuses on creating an enabling ecosystem for industries,” he said.

Dr Agrawal added that the government has identified 23 key barriers —linked to the Pollution Control Board, labour regulations, and urban planning — and committed to removing them by December 31. Both Block A and Block B areas would be given equal opportunities to ensure balanced industrial growth across the state, he said.
