Key Details
Haryana’s plans combine more industrial space with services for businesses and workers.
Existing network: HSIIDC has developed six major IMTs at Manesar, Bawal, Rohtak, Sohna, Faridabad and Kharkhoda.
Proposed expansion: The areas identified include approximately 5,800 acres at Kharkhoda, 5,000 at Kosli, 2,000 at Bawal, 1,500 at Sohna and 9,000 at Faridabad–Palwal.
New townships: Ten additional IMTs are planned, including sites at Naraingarh, Ambala, Jind, Murthal–Gannaur and Rai.
Existing industrial areas: Officials said a ₹500 crore enabling fund had been created for infrastructure upgrades.
Investor services: A dedicated centre is proposed in each IMT to provide time-bound assistance.
Industrial Areas Will Include Services Beyond Factory Plots
The proposed townships are intended to combine industrial plots with warehouses, ready-to-use factory buildings, utilities and worker facilities. Plans also include shared facilities for smaller manufacturers, accommodation, childcare and better links to freight and transport networks.
Haryana’s ten-township programme was announced earlier; the state reported in May 2026 that five had been approved. The locations and acreage now described remain proposed development, rather than completed capacity.
Drone Research and Skills Become an Industrial Priority
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has called for greater attention to drone-manufacturing research, startups and technical training, with the aim of making Haryana a leading drone hub. This is an industrial ambition; no dedicated drone funding or production target was specified.
The state will also examine Zero Liquid Discharge systems for industrial areas. These treat and reuse wastewater to reduce liquid discharge and demand for fresh water.
Policy Relevance
The township proposals give Haryana a practical test of whether industrial land can be supplied with dependable utilities, logistics, business services and worker facilities. The drone ambition requires a different test: whether research and training lead to manufacturing activity and jobs. Keeping those measures separate will make progress easier to assess.
The proposed acreage, service centres and ₹500 crore fund also sit at different stages of delivery. Tracking land brought into use, facilities operating and funds spent would show more than the scale of plans alone.
Relevant Question for Policy Stakeholders: Which proposed IMT facilities will become operational first, and how will Haryana measure progress in drone manufacturing beyond research and training?
