Haryana eases norms to woo investors, Khattar holds Kolkata roadshow

In a move to attract both domestic and international investments, Khattar launched a  second investors’ roadshow in Kolkata. 

 

Industries Minister of Haryana Capt. Abhimanyu and other officials of the Haryana government attended the event.

Talking about the investors’ summit, Khattar said, “In an effort to attract more investors, our government has eased various norms in our new enterprise promotion policy. We have introduced the single roof concept where all the concerned agencies are housed under a single roof. Legal clearances are also being issued without any delay.”

Haryana government has also simplified the Change of Land Use (CLU).

“Our government has also simplified the process of Change of Land Use (CLU). For projects of up to Rs 10 crore within one acre area, all the required clearances would be given under one roof by the Committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner concerned whereas, for the projects of over Rs 10 crore and with more than one acre area, clearances would be given by the empowered committee constituted under the Chairmanship of Principal Secretary to Chief Minister,” said the CM.

Haryana has identified 31 administrative blocks where there will be no requirement of NOC, while in 75 other blocks, on-line process has been set up for giving time bound clearances.
  
On being asked about the availability of land in the state, the Chief Minister said, “We have 31 Industrial Estates developed and managed by Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) where 2000 Plots of different sizes are available. Multiple options are available for private developers who want to develop industrial units in Haryana. We have developed a very good transport and communication network in our state, we are also planning to develop another international airport at Hisar.”

“Our government has zero-tolerance on issues related to corruptions,” the Chief Minister added.

Discussing about the success of the Kolkata roadshow, the Haryana Chief Minister said, “Though nothing has been finalised but till now, we have received proposals for investment of Rs 5000 crore from the potential investors of West Bengal in different fields like food processing, manufacturing, infrastructure, power, solar energy, IT and some other sectors.”

The Haryana government will organise five such road shows for the Happening Haryana-Global Investors' Summit-2016' which is slated to be held in Gurgaon on Mar 7-8. 

 

Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is the National Partner of this event. The Pravasi Haryana Divas will be organised on March 9, 2016 at Gurgaon.

The first roadshow was held at New Delhi on Dec 22.

 

Apart from Kolkata there will be three more such road shows in Chennai, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
