Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini Launches New Industrial Policy Framework with Focus on AI, Data Centres, GCCs and Future-Ready Manufacturing
In a major push to position Haryana as a leading destination for advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday unveiled the ‘Make in Haryana’ Industrial Policy 2026, an ambitious roadmap aimed at attracting ₹5 lakh crore in investments and creating a future-ready industrial ecosystem.
The policy, launched in Gurugram alongside nine sector-specific policies, marks a significant shift from traditional industrial development towards innovation-led growth powered by artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, sustainability and advanced manufacturing.
Haryana Bets Big on AI-Driven Governance and Investment Facilitation
A key highlight of the new policy is the introduction of an AI-enabled investment ecosystem designed to simplify and accelerate business approvals.
The state has launched an upgraded Single Window 2.0 platform, known as the Intelligent Investment Facilitation Portal, which incorporates AI-powered tools to assist investors throughout the project lifecycle.
The platform features:
- AI-powered conversational support through a Smart AI Agent
- Automated investment blueprint generation
- Incentive and compliance calculators
- GIS-based land identification system
- Real-time problem-solving and approvals
Speaking at the launch, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said Haryana is moving beyond conventional ease of doing business models.
“Investors today look for speed, trust and reliability. Our objective is to make Haryana a long-term growth partner for industries and innovators,” he said.
Dedicated Push for Data Centres and Global Capability Centres
Recognising the growing importance of digital infrastructure, the state has introduced dedicated policies for Data Centres and Global Capability Centres (GCCs).
The new framework encourages investment in emerging technology sectors, particularly in non-transit-oriented development (Non-ToD) areas of Gurugram, where the government aims to create world-class technology and innovation hubs.
Officials said the policies are designed to attract global technology firms, strengthen digital infrastructure and create high-value employment opportunities.
Major Incentives for Manufacturing and Innovation
The ‘Make in Haryana’ policy replaces the earlier A/B/C/D block classification system with a simplified statewide incentive framework.
Key incentives include:
Capital and Tax Support
- Up to 30% capital subsidy
- Reimbursement of net State GST
Research & Development Incentives
- R&D support of up to ₹50 crore

₹1.10 Lakh Crore Investment Commitments Signed
The policy received strong industry backing on its launch day, with the Haryana government signing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth ₹1.10 lakh crore, including approximately ₹30,000 crore in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Several major companies announced investment commitments, including:

Among the largest commitments, Anant Raj Limited signed an MoU to invest ₹20,000 crore in large-scale data centre infrastructure across Haryana.

Focus on Future-Ready Industries
The government has also unveiled dedicated policies covering:
- Electronics Manufacturing
- Advanced Manufacturing

Officials said the objective is to transform Haryana into a hub for innovation, exports, digital technologies and next-generation industrial growth.

“Our goal is not only to retain Haryana’s position as a manufacturing hub but to establish it as a leading centre for technology, innovation and global competitiveness,” he said.
