Highlighting Haryana’s robust economic fundamentals and progressive industrial policies, Haryana’s Commissioner and Secretary, Industries and Commerce, Dr. Amit Kumar Agrawal, said the state is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in translating the Prime Minister’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ into tangible outcomes on the ground.
Addressing industry leaders and stakeholders at the Global Business Summit held in New Delhi on Saturday, Dr. Agrawal said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Haryana is moving ahead with a clear roadmap to strengthen its position as one of India’s most preferred destinations for investment and enterprise. He emphasized that the state’s economic strength is anchored in four key pillars—scale, productivity, performance, and prosperity.

He informed that Haryana, with a Gross State Domestic Product of approximately USD 79 billion in real terms, has consistently recorded growth above the national average. Despite accounting for just 1.3 per cent of India’s geographical area and 2.1 per cent of its population, the state contributes nearly 7.1 per cent to the country’s total GST collections, reflecting its strong industrial base and high value-addition capacity.

Dr. Agrawal further noted that Haryana’s per capita income has grown steadily over the past decade and remains more than 70 per cent higher than the national average, highlighting the state’s strong consumption potential and purchasing power.
He described Haryana’s strategic location as a major structural advantage. Situated at the heart of the National Capital Region, the state offers excellent connectivity and seamless access to markets. All districts are linked through national highways or four-lane expressways, and none is more than three to four hours away from Gurugram or Delhi.
He added that the entire state falls within a 300-kilometre radius of three major international airports—Indira Gandhi International Airport, Noida International Airport, and Chandigarh International Airport—ensuring swift access to global markets.
Highlighting the state’s strong industrial ecosystems, he said Haryana has developed major sectoral clusters, including automotive and electric vehicles in the NCR region, medical devices in Ambala, textiles in Panipat, leather and footwear in Bahadurgarh, food parks across multiple districts, and a next-generation electronics manufacturing cluster at IMT Sohna.
Reaffirming the government’s commitment to investors, Dr. Agrawal said Haryana continues to focus on improving ease of doing business through simplified regulations, world-class infrastructure, and responsive, investor-centric governance. He emphasized that the state remains committed to creating a competitive, transparent, and future-ready industrial ecosystem to attract both domestic and global investments.
