Will make Haryana a key hub for manufacturing, says Saini

Chasing the dream of Viksit Bharat, we will make Haryana a key hub for manufacturing,” said Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini while addressing a post-Budget meeting with representatives of the industry on Friday at the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs in Manesar.

Saini said the state grew tremendously as an industrial power centre in last 10 years due to industry-friendly and labour welfare policies.

He said Haryana was today ranked fifth in the country in GST collection on the strength of the progress of its industrial institutions.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi dreams of a developed India by 2047. To fulfil this resolution, the Budget allotment of the Department of Industry and Commerce has been increased to over Rs 1,848 crore in this year’s Budget, which is 129 per cent more than last time,” added Saini.

He said suggestions from representatives of the industry, especially from the fields of construction, textile and start-up, had also been included in this year’s Budget.

The Chief Minister said the Haryana Government had included several measures in the Budget to improve the quality of life of industrial workers.

As many as 300 Atal Kisan Shramik Canteens would be opened in all industrial areas to meet the residential needs of workers so that they could get nutritious food at reasonable rates, he added.

The Chief Minister said the state government had implemented several important measures, such as the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy-2020, to create a business-friendly environment and encourage investment.

To ensure a simple and smooth approval process for investors, the government had established online single-window clearance systems, which had helped the state in being ranked among the top states in the Ease of Doing Business Index, he added.

The Chief Minister said, on the lines of IMT Kharkhoda, 10 new Industrial Model Townships (IMTs) would be developed in Haryana, for which the demand for land would be registered by HSIIDC on the e-Bhoomi portal.

The picture of all industrial estates would change in next six months, Saini said.

Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh said development of industrial areas was on cards, and the demand for infrastructural upgrades by industrial organisations would start in the next three months, and would be completed in six months.
