Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has recently unveiled a sweeping plan to boost the state’s startup and innovation ecosystem, announcing the launch of a world-class incubator ‘H-HUB’, a dedicated semiconductor policy, and a framework to position Gurugram and Haryana as a global hub for capability centres.

Addressing an “Interaction with Startups and Industry Leaders” event in Gurugram at Sector 58, Saini said H-HUB will be developed in collaboration with leading corporates, startups, and educational institutions. “H-HUB will empower startups in Haryana to undertake cutting-edge research and product development,” he said. The facility will include plug-and-play workspaces, prototyping centres, and high-performance innovation labs.

Saini said Haryana will roll out a dedicated semiconductor policy in line with the Centre’s vision of making India a global semiconductor hub. A special framework for GCCs will also be created to encourage multinationals to set up technology and service hubs in Gurugram, which already houses several Fortune 500 companies.

Alongside this, the Chief Minister announced that a new industrial policy and multiple sector-specific policies are being drafted to promote innovation-driven growth across industries.

Calling upon industrialists to contribute to the state’s growth, Saini said Haryana would align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call of “Make in India” and “Design in India”. “We want our entrepreneurs and industries to proudly embrace ‘Make in Haryana’ and ‘Design in Haryana’ as their guiding vision,” he said.

He added that the 2025–26 State Budget has earmarked the development of 10 new Industrial Model Townships (IMTs) across Haryana, spread over 20,000 acres of land voluntarily offered by landowners. These IMTs, he said, will be equipped with world-class infrastructure and single-window facilities for investors.

Highlighting Haryana’s startup ecosystem, Saini said the state currently ranks seventh in the country, with more than 9,100 registered startups and 19 unicorns, half of them women-led.
