Saini unveils ‘Make in Haryana 2026’ policy; eyes ₹5-lakh-crore investment,10 lakh jobs

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini on Monday unveiled the ambitious “Make in Haryana Industrial Policy-2026”, positioning the State as “a leading global investment destination” aiming at five lakh crore investment and creation of 10 lakh jobs.

Memorandums of understanding pledging investment worth ₹1.10 lakh crore, including projects worth ₹30,000 crore in the form of Foreign Direct Investment across multiple sectors, were also signed.

Sector specific policies for nine thrust areas, including toys and sports equipment, textiles and apparels, auto components, footwear, renewable energy projects, green hydrogen, electronic waste recycling, chemical and petrochemicals, and electric vehicles and semiconductors were also launched.

The industrial policy offers incentives for intra-State sales, fast track commencement of operations, local employment generation, research and development infrastructure creation, annual export turnover and green initiatives.

Mr. Saini also launched a revamped and AI-enabled “single window 2.0” system, an investor facilitation platform, to transform the investor experience in Haryana.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said Haryana was fully prepared for the next phase of industrial growth and committed towards faster governance, investor facilitation, strong infrastructure, employment generation, and industry partnership. “The new policy framework reflects Haryana’s vision of becoming one of India’s most competitive and future-ready manufacturing and investment destination,” said Mr. Saini.

The programme witnessed participation from leading industry groups, investors, Micro Small and Medium Enterprises, start-up founders, foreign delegations, senior government officials, and stakeholders from across the country.

The “Make in Haryana” policy introduces a major reform in the State’s industrial framework by replacing the legacy A,B,C,D block categorisation system with a simplified and more transparent area classification framework. For the first time, fiscal incentives have been extended across the State to promote balanced industrial growth.

Further, to strengthen ease of doing business and investor confidence, the policy introduces a time-bound and transparent incentive disbursement mechanism, including faster processing timelines for incentive approvals and disbursement.

Another major highlight of the event was the announcement of “Happening Haryana”, the State’s upcoming Global Investors Summit, which aims to put Haryana on the world investment map.
