Chandigarh, July 17 – Haryana’s Minister of Industries and Commerce Rao Narbir Singh has directed officials of the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) to work in alignment with the core objectives of the corporation. He emphasized that the primary aim of the corporation is to provide modern industrial infrastructure in the state and dedicated efforts must be made in this direction.
Rao Narbir Singh issued these instructions during a recent review meeting with HSIIDC officials. He said under the Haryana Land Partnership Policy—2022, farmers and rural residents should be made aware that HSIIDC will develop half of the land provided by them and make them stakeholders in the project. To ensure this, a large-scale awareness campaign should be conducted with the help of professional agencies to help people better understand the corporation’s functioning.
The Industries Minister informed that Gurugram has now become the first choice for global companies. As a result, industrial activities are rapidly expanding in areas like Sohna, Manesar, and Bawal. He suggested the development of a convention centre near the Dwarka Expressway. For this, land belonging to the Municipal Corporation in Sector 65 of New Gurugram should be identified, and the foundation stone for the convention centre should be laid on November 1, on the occasion of Haryana Day.
The Minister said that a high-quality guest house with modern facilities should be constructed in every Industrial Model Township (IMT) developed by HSIIDC, to ensure proper accommodation for industry representatives and visitors.
Under the Green Haryana campaign, he emphasized the need to develop maximum green belts in all industrial estates of the corporation. He also directed that no tiles should be laid on the footpaths alongside the green belts to avoid obstruction in natural water recharge.
Rao Narbir Singh said the 135-kilometre-long Kundli–Manesar–Palwal (KMP) Expressway is a very important asset of HSIIDC. A special action plan should be prepared for its complete maintenance and beautification. He directed that a large-scale plantation drive be conducted on both sides of the KMP and solar-powered pumps be installed every 5 to 10 kilometers to ensure irrigation of plants after rainfall.
He said the section of the KMP Expressway from Manesar to Palwal requires urgent repairs, and the tendering process for the same should begin without delay.
