Economic Scenario
The State economy has recorded an excellent growth of 9.3 percent in real terms during 2007-08 in spite of
the low performance in Agriculture sector. The excellent growth during the year 2007-08 is mainly
attributed to the encouraging growth rates recorded in Trade, Communication, Construction, Transport,
Real Estate, Ownership of Dwellings, Legal & Business Services, Manufacturing and Electricity, Gas & Water
Supply sectors. During this period, Trade sector has recorded an increase of 16.1 percent, Communication
sector 15.9 percent, Construction and Transport sectors each 11.2 percent, Real Estate, Ownership of
Dwellings, Legal & Business Services sector 10.7 percent, Manufacturing sector 9.6 percent and Electricity,
Gas & Water Supply sector 9.3 percent. In case of Agriculture Sector, the production of some crops mainly
rice, wheat, bajra and cotton recorded an increase of 7.2 percent, 1.8 percent, 13.7 percent and 4.4
percent respectively over the previous year. But the production of oilseeds, sugarcane (Guru) and gram
decreased by 23.2 percent, 8.2 percent and 40.0 percent respectively during the year. As a consequence of
decreased production of oil seeds, sugarcane and gram, the Agriculture Sector recorded a growth rate of
0.9 percent only during the year 2007-08.
The structural composition of State economy has witnessed significant changes since the formation of the
State. The Contribution of the sub-region towards the State GDP (152474 Crore Rupees at Constant Prices)
in 2009-10 is 56.8%. Although Agriculture sector still continues to occupy a significant position in the State
economy, but the share of this sector in the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is continuously declining.
The predominance of Agriculture Sector is also responsible for the instability in the growth rate of
economy. Natural calamities and fluctuation in rainfall often lead to substantial loss in crop production
causing fluctuations in agricultural production, which eventually results in instability in growth of State
economy.

The Sub-Region had shown a consistent increase in both its GSDP and Per Capita Income from 2004-05 to
2009-10. Table 5-3 & 5-4 shows the absolute values of GSDP and Per Capita Income over the same time
period. Rate of growth of Gross Sub-Region Domestic Product increased from 12.9% to 16.4 % in the period
2004-05 to 2009-10 with the fall in growth rate of GSDP in 2008-09. The rate of growth of Per Capita
Income was significantly high in 2005-06 and consequently declined in the following years. It was 21.4
percent in 2005-06 and 10.1% in 2009-10. This might be due to the huge increase in Per Capita income of
Gurgaon (by 103%) between 2004 to 2005. Gurgaon recorded the highest GDP in the sub-region in the year
2009-10 followed by Faridabad district. Mewat had the lowest GDP out of all 9 districts and a Per Capita
income even lower than the country’s Per Capita Income (Rs 33901) in 2009-10.

Considering the sectoral classification of main workers in the Sub-Region, after the cultivators the sub-
region is dominated by other service workers, non house hold industrial workers and workers in trade &
commerce in 2001.
Figure 5.1 Work force distribution of main workers in the Sub-Region (2001)
According to the Census data 1991 and 2001, although the number of workers employed in all three
sectors of Haryana Sub-Region had gone up, but the share of work force employed in primary sector had
decreased and the share of work force employed in secondary and tertiary sector had increased (Fig. 5.2).

As evident from table 5.8, in the year 2001, the highest Workforce Participation Ratio (WPR) was in Gurgaon
(including Mewat) i.e. 44.2% and the lowest in Faridabad (including Palwal) i.e. 35.8%. The partipitation of female
workers was the highest in Rohtak (including Jhajjar). However, as apparent from table 5.9, the total WPR in 2011 was
highest in Rewari (37.5%) whereas the lowest WPR was in Mewat i.e. 26.6%.
The work force participation rate of females in 2011 shows a substantial decrease from that in 2001 and
1991 thereby also reducing the Total Workforce Participation Ratio in 2011 to 33.15.
The state had notified a new industrial & Investment policy-2011’ effective from 1-01-2011. This new
industrial policy, takes into account the current economic scenario and the prospective developments. It
lays particular emphasis on further strengthening base of the manufacturing sector besides the
development of knowledge based & high tech industries, efficient use of energy, conservation of resources
and pragmatic environmental policies for a sustainable development. The scope and potential for
investment and value addition in the primary products has been brought out clearly through the policy
measures. Development of well planned infrastructure holds the key to overall future economic growth
and this continues to be the focus of the Government. The State recognizes the increased role of Public-
Private Partnerships and, accordingly, the policy lays down a well-defined roadmap in this direction.
Excerpts from the policy that read as the following gives a well defined charter for the future.
A. The following key objectives are sought to be achieved through the industrial policy:
• Higher, sustainable and inclusive economic growth by attracting investments in a focused and
structured manner in potential areas;
• Promote private sector investment through Public Private Partnerships;
• Employment generation and enhanced employability through skill development;
• Continued thrust on manufacturing sector as a key driver of economic growth;
• Generation of entrepreneurial opportunities across all sectors of the economy;
• Facilitation of spatial dispersal of economic activities particularly in industrially lesser developed
regions of the State;
• Sustainable development by adopting environment friendly technologies.
B. The State Government proposes to achieve the objectives set out in the policy by:
Adoption of a coordinated approach to the development of all sectors of economy through quality
infrastructure & addressing issues of infrastructure gaps, creation of sufficient land bank by the
developing agencies to meet future requirements of entrepreneurs and addressing the concerns of
the land owners whose land is acquired, by way of rehabilitation & resettlement initiatives and
developing necessary skill-sets amongst such affected persons;
Encouraging private sector participation in infrastructure projects under Public Private Partnership
(PPP) to be encouraged especially in industrial infrastructure, power, roads & bridges, health,
tourism, education sectors, simplification of rules & procedures, self-certification and use of
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) for hassle-free, timely delivery of services and
further liberalization of Estate Management Procedures;
Strengthening of institutional support mechanism through a Grievance Redressal Mechanism for
industry and joint consultative framework; Promoting quality competitiveness, research &
development and technology up gradation & modernization, strengthening of Small & Medium
Enterprises (SMEs), laying special focus on cluster development, provision of flatted factories and
incentivizing MSMEs;
Efficient use of water resource, treatment, re-cycling of waste water, promoting non-conventional
sources of energy, green technologies and reducing carbon emission to protect environment.
National Solar Mission is a major initiative of the Government to promote ecologically sustainable
growth while addressing energy security challenge;
Adoption of labour-friendly policies and creation of infrastructure for labour to meet the basic
requirements e.g. ESI hospitals and dispensaries, Welfare Centers and Industrial worker housing
facilities.
Clusters, Engineering Clusters, etc. These initiatives have led to enhanced investments across the sectors
such as automobile and auto components, food processing, wearing apparel, basic metals, light
engineering, textiles, machinery, construction material and scientific instruments. In addition to the above,
the State Government has also introduced specific policies such as “Total Industrial Support” policy to
augment investment across specific sectors. The objective of this policy is to provide a gamut of services
such as industry specific infrastructural development, project promotion and financial services, thereby
facilitating ease of establishment of industrial units. Furthermore, the state’s key strength of abundance of
agricultural products coupled with proactive development of industry specific infrastructure is also
expected to raise the potential of Agro-processing sector in the state.
With the inception of the SEZ Act in 2005, Haryana has also witnessed a surge in the proposals for
development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the state1. Successful implementation of some of these
projects in the medium to long term is also expected to also make available significant amount of industrial
activity available across various sectors.
Having emerged as a preferred investment destination for domestic as well as international investors,
today the state is home to a number of multinational companies and corporate houses. The State enjoys a
number of advantages including proximity to the national capital of Delhi, excellent law & order situation,
planned quality infrastructure, conducive policy for environment, harmonious labour relations, trained &
skilled manpower, responsive administration, etc. Haryana is a vibrant, fast growing State – a perfect place
for stable and profitable investment. Keeping in view their long term sustainability and growth potential,
the State would continue to encourage investments in the following sectors, (as quoted in the `New
Industrial & Investment Policy-2011’):
A. Agro-based, Food Processing and Allied Industry
B. Automobile & Automotive Components
C. Education & Skill Development
D. Electronics, Information & Communication Technology
E. Footwear and Accessories
F. Handloom, Hosiery, Textile and Garments Manufacturing
G. Health and Healthcare
H. Pharmaceutical Industry
I. Research & Development and Frontier Technologies
J. Transport Network and Services
K. Waste Processing and re-cycling Industry
The implementation of national project of Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and Dedicated Freight
Corridor (DFC) in Haryana is a major infrastructure development with both the projects expected to act as
catalysts to enhance industrial/manufacturing activity. Inherent strengths such as large agricultural
resources (which provide upstream raw materials for the food and agro-processing sector), synergies of
strategic location with respect to major markets, superior transport linkages, state of the art industrial
infrastructure, established industrial investments and proactive government initiatives are expected to
develop the region and the state as a major industrial region in the overall DMIC region.
The DMIC has a strategy towards development of the project, Nodes, Cities which have been identified
within the DMIC region as Investment Regions (IR). These regions/areas would include self-sustained
Industrial townships with world-class infrastructure served by multi-modal connectivity for freight
movement/ logistic hubs, domestic /international air connectivity, reliable power, quality social

infrastructure and globally competitive environment.’ Manesar Bawal Investment Region (MBIR) is
proposed in Phase-I of DMIC, which would be in the development phase by 2021.
Over the years, the Sub-Region has also emerged as an established IT/ITeS hub. Gurgaon district today has
one of the most prominent IT/ITeS clusters in India. Further, the availability of a large talent pool,
established industry clusters, well developed physical infrastructure, development of IMT and investor
focused approach in administration processes etc., continue to attract investments across the secondary &
tertiary sectors. In line with the above analysis, the major industries are:

Note: Major Industries
Above tables 5-10 & 5-11 and figure 5-3 reveals that district Faridabad & Gurgaon are the two major
leading districts in Sub-Region. Total number of industries in both districts are 2617 & 1897 respectively.
Whereas the number of workers employed in Gurgaon is more in comparison to Faridabad district. This is
due to the fact that Gurgaon district has labour intensive industries like Wearing Apparel, Dressing and
Dyeing & Other non-metallic mineral products etc. and industries are of larger scale.
It is apparent that out of the total industries in the sub-region, Faridabad (36%) and Gurgaon (27%)
together occupy 63% of the major industries presence in the sub-region. Also Faridabad and Gurgaon are
the most industrialized districts in the sub-region, whereas Mewat (0.09%). Rewari (3%), Rohtak (4%) &
Jhajjar (7%) are the least industrialized districts.
After reviewing different type of industries in the Sub-Region, we find that `Manufacture of Textile industry
is the leading industry’ followed by `Manufacture of wearing apparel, dressing and dyeing’, followed by
Basic metals and then machinery and equipments; etc.
Under the liberalized policy, except for the few industries which require license only from the Govt., all the
large & medium industrial undertakings are required to file Industrial Entrepreneur memoranda with the
Govt. indicating their intention to set up industrial venture anywhere in India. However, for the small scale
Industry, it is voluntary for any industrial unit to get it registered with the concerned District Industries
Centre for the SSI registration. Apart from this, DIC office makes recommendations to the banks for grant
of financial assistance under Prime Minister Rojgar Yojana.
The Department of Industries & Commerce, Haryana functions as a nodal department to promote and
facilitate the entrepreneurs for setting up of industries in the State. The role of the department is
promotional and of a motivator. Persons interested to set up Industry are advised regarding availability of
land, procedure for allotment of land, conversion of land use, pollution control clearances, incentives and
concessions to the industry. The department pursues different schemes of the State and the Central Govt.
which are implemented for development of Industry. It also acquires land for development of Industrial
Estate /Parks to be developed by HSIIDC.
The Govt. has developed IMT Manesar (Phase- I, II, III & IV) on the National Highway - 48 about 32 kms
from Indira Gandhi International Airport with a focus on Hi-technology, Hi-precision, non-polluting units.
Existing type of industries are Automobile Industries, Readymade Garments, IT enabled services, Packaging
industries. Another recent development is IMT Rohtak, on National Highway - 9. The existing type of
industries are mainly engineering and other general Industries.
For serving general industry, HSIIDC has also acquired land measuring about 732 acre at Bahadurgarh to
capture relocation of the industries from Delhi. Similar facility is available at Rai-Kundli Multi-functional-
Complex, IMT, Manesar and Industrial Growth Centre (IGC), Bawal. HSIIDC has also developed Industrial &
Infrastructure Development Centre (IIDC) at Rai (Barhi) near Ganaur. The IGC has been sanctioned by Govt.
of India, Ministry of Commerce and the Food Park has been sanctioned by the Ministry of Food Processing.
HSIIDC has also acquired land at Barhi (Ph-III) over an area measuring 646 acres. The existing IMT and
Industrial Estates of HSIIDC are detailed below.

ii) Efforts shall be made for organic high value agriculture to meet the growing demand of the
National Capital towards such products.
iii) Floriculture shall be encouraged as the sub-region is in close proximity to the International
Airport and the upcoming Cargo Airport at Rohtak.
iv) It is apparent from the industrial estate location analysis (Map 5-1) that all the existing and
proposed Industrial development by HSIIDC is mainly along the NH-44, NH-48 and proposed
KMP corridor. For a balanced regional development. The western part of Rohtak & Jhajjar,
Mewat and Palwal districts are to be emphasized for future. The availability of large pockets of
land suitable for industrial development in these districts in comparison with the other districts
of is also a positive factor.
v) With the introduction of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, industrial development is being
induced in Rewari district through the MBIR proposals. Development of Jhajjar district
considering the emerging industrial potential created by MBIR may be considered for a
balanced regional development.
vi) In order to create a regional balance the potentiality of industrial development in Panipat
should be channelized to Rohtak, as this district has good connectivity with Panipat and has
suitable industrial land. The industrial infrastructure should be put in Rohtak to catered to the
additional industrial demand.
vii) Industrial development should be facilitated in the districts of Rewari and Mewat.
viii) Employment in the secondary and tertiary sectors is constrained by the issues of skill
development of the work force. Therefore, there is need for new projects with focus on skill
development and vocational training.
ix) Connectivity within the Haryana sub-region and the NCR has been the driving force for the
change in both the size and nature of economic activities. RRTS and MRTS projects proposed
within the sub-region and the NCR have a potential to improve the growth prospects and
income in the entire sub-region especially of the towns which are not a part of the CNCR.
x) The analysis of banking facilities in the sub-region clearly bring out that districts with low per
capita income are also the districts where the banking facilities are either not available or not
availed. Provision of banking services such as soft loans and micro financing can help in
improving the economic base of this region. The banking sector therefore, should not only
focus on expanding its network but also emphasise on creating awareness in the District of
Mewat.
xi) Physical and Social infrastructure shall be boosted in the district of Mewat.
xii) One of the three investment regions under the proposed DMIC project in NCR is in the Haryana
sub-region namely Manesar-Bawal Investment Region (MBIR). As per the DRRP-2021, this
combined with the DFC project has the potential to boost the manufacturing sector both in
terms of output and employment. MBIR will thus generate direct/indirect employment to the
extent of 2.5 lacs by 2021 AD.
xiii) Provision for at least the recommended physical and social amenities is essential in all urban
centres and rural areas.
xiv) There is a definite need to make people aware of total sanitation and means of achieving it.
xv) Specific attention needs to be paid for improvement of telecommunication facility in the Sub-
region and development of smart cities. Planning and development of cities that are efficient in
function and conserve energy and other resources is to be encouraged. The proposed
development in general should be high density and along transit corridors.
xvi) Organization setup to be improved in terms of staffing in the Planning departments in all levels
of the State and Sub-region.
xvii) Frequency of making plans / revisions/ review of plans to be increased to commensurate with
the 5 year plans.
xviii) The making of Development policy for the least developed area, integrated with the developed
areas of the sub-region is to be prioritized in order to give benefit to less developed areas.
xix) The under developed area with low HDI such as Mewat and Palwal in the sub-region have to be
judiciously planned and interlinked with the existing and proposed growth centers and
economic Hubs. Regional Linkages which are inter and intra in the form of RRTS, DFC will need
to provide for these two districts.
xx) Some of the investment targeted in the Districts of Gurgaon and Faridabad need to be diverted
to less favourable regions e.g. Jhajjar and Mewat.
