Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini launched the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy on June 1, 2026. The policy targets Rs 5 Lakh Crore (about $60 Bn) in fresh investments and 10 Lakh new jobs over five years.
The policy replaces HEEP (Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy) 2020 and was officially notified on May 26, 2026. It pairs a flagship industrial policy with nine sector-specific frameworks covering data centres, GCCs (Global Capability Centres, large offshore corporate service units), EVs, and green hydrogen. On Day 1, the state signed MoUs worth Rs 1.10 Lakh Crore (about $13.2 Bn), including Rs 30,000 Crore in FDI (Foreign Direct Investment).

The real story is the structural change hiding behind the big numbers. Haryana has retired its old A, B, C, D geographic block classification. The replacement ties incentives to employment generation, exports, and R&D investment, not district rank. Under HEEP 2020, companies outside Gurugram often lost premium incentives due to their district placement alone. The new framework potentially opens all 22 Haryana districts on merit. Watch for GCC and data centre announcements outside Gurugram proper: cities like Faridabad, Panchkula, and Manesar stand to gain first. Expect at least 3 such GCC announcements under this policy by Q2 FY27, StartupFeed Desk.

About the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026
The Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 is Haryana’s flagship industrial framework, notified May 26, 2026. It replaces HEEP 2020 and spans ten sectors including data centres, GCCs, electric vehicles, semiconductors, and green hydrogen. The five-year policy targets Rs 5 Lakh Crore in investments and 10 Lakh new jobs, administered by the Department of Industries and Commerce under CM Nayab Singh Saini.
What Changed for Investors Under the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy?
The most important structural change is the removal of Haryana’s old A, B, C, D block classification. Under HEEP 2020, the district a business sat in determined its incentive tier. The new system ties subsidies to what a business actually delivers: jobs created, exports shipped, and R&D invested.
Investors now access approvals, land allocation, and incentives through one AI (Artificial Intelligence)-powered portal called Single Window 2.0. The state guarantees 50% of any eligible incentive within 7 working days. A statutory 8% per annum interest penalty applies if the government is late past April 1, 2026.
The policy also introduces a 50% top-up on central PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) scheme benefits and R&D support of up to Rs 50 Crore per unit. CM Saini explained his pitch to investors directly:
“Investors now evaluate the overall ecosystem. They ask which state can make faster decisions, provide trust and reliability, and emerge as a long-term growth partner.”

The government also unveiled nine sector-specific policies alongside the main framework. These cover toys and sports equipment, textiles, auto components, footwear, renewable energy, green hydrogen, e-waste recycling, chemicals, and EVs plus semiconductors.
How Does Haryana Compare to Other States for Tech Investment?
India hosts over 1,600 GCCs as of early 2026, with Karnataka (Bengaluru) leading and Telangana (Hyderabad) second. The NCR, led by Gurugram, is India’s third-largest GCC cluster. Haryana’s new policy builds specifically on this base with a dedicated GCC Policy 2026 alongside the flagship framework and a Haryana data centre policy granting “Essential Service” status to data infrastructure.
| State | Key Tech Hub | Distinct Policy Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Haryana | Gurugram (NCR) | AI-powered Single Window 2.0; 7-day incentive payout; 8% delay penalty |
| Karnataka | Bengaluru | Largest GCC cluster; deep tech talent pool; established startup ecosystem |
| Telangana | Hyderabad | TS-iPASS single-window; pharma-IT crossover; 30-day clearance standard |
What sets Haryana apart is the legally enforceable payment penalty. No other major state currently mandates an 8% interest charge on itself for delayed incentive disbursement. That clause, more than any headline investment target, is the structural signal investors should study.
What’s Next
The Haryana government’s next milestone is “Happening Haryana,” its upcoming Global Investors Summit, for which the logo was unveiled at the policy launch. The state now needs to convert Rs 1.10 Lakh Crore in Day 1 MoU commitments into ground-level projects over the next 12 to 18 months. Anant Raj targets 117 MW of interim data centre capacity by FY28. Will Haryana’s 7-day disbursement guarantee become the new benchmark that other state industrial policies must match?
