The Haryana government on Wednesday approved a proposal to create an industrial park in Industrial Model Township Ambala under the Centre’s flagship Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojana to accelerate industrialisation and attract fresh investments.

The proposal received the green signal at a meeting of the State-Level Committee (SLC) chaired by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, paving the way for its submission to the central government for final approval, PTI reported.

The proposed project envisages the development of a 108.58-acre investment-ready, plug-and-play industrial park within Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation’s upcoming IMT Ambala.

With an estimated investment of Rs 304.10 crore, the project is expected to significantly enhance Haryana’s industrial infrastructure and strengthen its position as one of India’s preferred manufacturing destinations, officials said.

During the meeting, the State-Level Committee reviewed the proposal’s technical, financial and infrastructural aspects before recommending it under the Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojana (BHAVYA scheme), a flagship Central initiative designed to create 100 world-class industrial parks across the country with an outlay of Rs 33,660 crore over six years.

Haryana’s Commissioner & Secretary, Industries & Commerce, Amit Kumar Agrawal, informed that the proposed industrial park meets the mandatory eligibility conditions of the scheme, including the availability of contiguous encumbrance-free land, strong multimodal connectivity and readiness for rapid implementation.

The project has been designed as a modern manufacturing ecosystem with 256 industrial plots, 15 ready-built factory sheds, warehousing facilities, common facility centres, worker housing, a skill development centre, power infrastructure, water treatment facilities, a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), internal road network, utilities and extensive green spaces.

The SLC also reviewed the proposed implementation model under which the project will be executed through NICDC Haryana Multimodal Logistic Hub Project, an existing Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) of NICDC and HSIIDC, in accordance with the BHAVYA guidelines.

Chairing the meeting, Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi stressed the need for seamless coordination among departments to ensure that Haryana’s proposal is processed expeditiously at the national level.

He directed the concerned agencies to complete all procedural requirements in a time-bound manner so that the state can leverage the Centre’s industrial infrastructure initiative to its fullest potential.

Officials said the proposed industrial park is expected to become a catalyst for large-scale industrial investment, manufacturing expansion, logistics development and employment generation in northern Haryana.

Besides creating modern industrial infrastructure, the project is also expected to improve the ease of doing business and attract domestic and global investors looking for investment-ready manufacturing locations.
