Chandigarh, September 24 – Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh said that Gurugram, the economic capital of the state, is steadily becoming the first choice for investors to establish Global Capability Centers (GCCs) due to its continuously improving connectivity and industry-friendly environment.
The Minister was speaking at a stakeholder consultation meeting on the provisions of the upcoming GCC Policy 2025, held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Gurugram on Wednesday.
*Government Committed to Supportive and Progressive Environment*
The Industry and Commerce Minister underlined that the state government is committed to providing a supportive and progressive ecosystem rather than a restrictive one. He said that industries are the main pillars of Haryana’s growth. The government is consistently striving to ensure that investors and entrepreneurs get all necessary facilities and timely support.
He added that Gurugram, as the state’s economic capital, has seen rapid improvements in connectivity over the past decade. With its proximity to Delhi, the city has become a natural investment choice. Projects such as a large park on the lines of London’s Hyde Park, two convention centres similar to the India Habitat Centre, along with major road networks like the Dwarka Expressway and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, make Gurugram even more attractive.
The Minister said that the world’s largest Jungle Safari is being developed in Gurugram, which will further boost its infrastructure and investment potential. Together, these factors are positioning Gurugram as one of the most attractive destinations for investors, both nationally and globally, he added.
*Balanced Mix of Fiscal and Non-Fiscal Incentives: Dr. Amit Agrawal*
Addressing stakeholders, Commissioner and Secretary, Industries and Commerce Department, Dr. Amit Agrawal said that Haryana has prepared a new policy to promote GCCs and build a strong, investment-friendly ecosystem. The policy contains a balanced mix of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to provide maximum convenience and support to investors. Dedicated relationship managers and special teams will assist investors throughout the process, he said.
He further highlighted that along with Gurugram, Tier-2 cities such as Panchkula, Karnal, and Hisar already offer modern infrastructure, high quality of life, and excellent connectivity. The policy aims to make Haryana an easy, convenient, and attractive destination for GCC investments.
*Stakeholder Suggestions to be Prioritized: Dr. Yash Garg*
Director General, Industries and Commerce Department, Dr. Yash Garg said that the draft GCC Policy will give top priority to stakeholder suggestions. The policy aims to provide a more convenient, investor-friendly environment so that Haryana, particularly Gurugram, can be further strengthened as a hub for GCCs he added.
