Chandigarh, February 14 \u2013 Highlighting Haryana\u2019s strong economic fundamentals and business-friendly policies, Haryana\u2019s Commissioner and Secretary, Industries and Commerce, Dr. Amit Kumar Agrawal emphasized that the state is positioned to play a critical role in translating the Prime Minister\u2019s vision of a \u2018Viksit Bharat\u2019 into real outcomes on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Amit Kumar Agrawal was speaking at the Global Business Summit organized in New Delhi on Saturday. Welcoming industry leaders and stakeholders, Dr. Agrawal said under the leadership of Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, Haryana is moving forward with a clear roadmap to strengthen its position as one of India\u2019s most attractive destinations for investment and enterprise. He said Haryana\u2019s economic strength is reflected in four key fundamentals\u2014scale, productivity, performance, and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a Gross State Domestic Product of approximately USD 79 billion in real terms, Haryana has consistently grown above the national average. Despite accounting for only 1.3 percent of India\u2019s geographical area and 2.1 percent of its population, the state contributes around 7.1 percent of the country\u2019s total GST collections. This, he said, is a strong testament to Haryana\u2019s economic base and its significant value-addition potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past decade, Haryana\u2019s real growth in per capita income has consistently exceeded the national average. The state\u2019s per capita income is more than 70 percent higher than the national average, underscoring strong consumption capacity and purchasing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Agrawal further emphasized that Haryana\u2019s strategic location is one of its greatest structural advantages. Situated at the heart of India\u2019s largest consumption zone\u2014the National Capital Region\u2014Haryana offers unparalleled connectivity and market access. All districts in the state are connected by national highways or four-lane expressways, and none is more than three to four hours away from Gurugram or Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the entire state lies within a 300-kilometre radius of three major international airports\u2014New Delhi International Airport, Jewar International Airport, and Chandigarh International Airport\u2014ensuring rapid access to global markets. Haryana has developed strong sectoral ecosystems, including automotive and electric vehicle clusters in the NCR belt; medical devices in Ambala; textiles in Panipat; leather and footwear in Bahadurgarh; food parks across various districts; and a next-generation electronics cluster at IMT Sohna to support emerging industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He reaffirmed that the state government remains committed to improving ease of doing business through simple rules, better infrastructure and investor-focused governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
