Haryana Showcases Its High-Growth Potential and Investor-Friendly Ecosystem at Global Business Summit
Haryana’s Strong Economic Fundamentals Position It Among India’s Top Investment Destinations: Dr. Amit Kumar Agrawal
Highlighting Haryana’s strong economic fundamentals and business-friendly policies, Haryana’s 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’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ into real outcomes on the ground.
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’s most attractive destinations for investment and enterprise. He said Haryana’s economic strength is reflected in four key fundamentals—scale, productivity, performance, and prosperity.
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’s geographical area and 2.1 percent of its population, the state contributes around 7.1 percent of the country’s total GST collections. This, he said, is a strong testament to Haryana’s economic base and its significant value-addition potential.
Over the past decade, Haryana’s real growth in per capita income has consistently exceeded the national average. The state’s per capita income is more than 70 percent higher than the national average, underscoring strong consumption capacity and purchasing power.
Dr. Agrawal further emphasized that Haryana’s strategic location is one of its greatest structural advantages. Situated at the heart of India’s largest consumption zone—the National Capital Region—Haryana 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.
Additionally, the entire state lies within a 300-kilometre radius of three major international airports—New Delhi International Airport, Jewar International Airport, and Chandigarh International Airport—ensuring 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.
He reaffirmed that the state government remains committed to improving ease of doing business through simple rules, better infrastructure and investor-focused governance.
Haryana Social Justice, Empowerment, SCs and BCs Welfare and Antyodaya Minister (SEWA), Sh. Krishan Kumar Bedi, said that Haryana is the first state in the country to provide the highest number of social benefits and pensions. In the state, 18 categories are receiving the benefit of social allowances and pensions. At present, 36 lakh eligible beneficiaries are being given a monthly pension of Rs. 3200. The increased amount has been effective since November 1 last year and was transferred to all eligible beneficiaries through DBT on February 10. He said that 21 lakh elderly people are receiving old age pension and 7,00,000 lakh women are receiving widow pension. Apart from this, persons with disabilities (PwD), destitute individuals, displaced people from Kashmir, and those suffering from 21 life-threatening diseases including cancer are also receiving the benefits of social security schemes.
Bedi said this while listening to public grievances on Saturday at Narwana.
He said that all social allowances and pensions will now be deposited directly into the beneficiaries’ bank accounts on the 10th of every month. Under the leadership of the Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, the state government has taken this commendable decision so that pensioners receive benefits on a fixed date. Providing pensions, allowances, and other social security benefits through DBT will ensure transparency.
He further said that previous governments had set an income limit of Rs. 10,000 for old age pension, which remained in place from 1991 to 2008. Later, the limit was increased to Rs. 50,000 per year, and during the BJP government in the 2022–23 session, it was raised to Rs. 3 lakh annually. Haryana has received recognition across the country for this step.
The Minister said that the government is also continuously taking strong steps for the welfare of farmers. These include purchasing crops at MSP, providing the highest compensation in the country during natural disasters, ensuring 24-hour electricity supply, implementing the ‘Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana’, and providing benefits to milk producers. He added that the present Central and State Governments are working with the vision of equal welfare for all sections of society and all-round development in every sector.

Haryana Will Play a Key Role in Realising the Vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’: CM Nayab Singh Saini
Haryana Has Become Investors’ Preferred Choice as Industrial Infrastructure Grows at Fast Pace: CM
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has set the target of making India a developed nation by 2047, and Haryana will play a significant role in achieving this vision. He said the state government is continuously working towards this goal and formulating new schemes to accelerate growth. The Chief Minister was addressing a programme in New Delhi on Saturday.
He stated that Haryana has emerged as the first choice for investors. In the previous budget, the state government announced the establishment of 10 new Industrial Model Townships (IMTs). Work is progressing rapidly on six of these IMTs, while the remaining four will also be completed soon. He said the state ranks first in GST collection. Haryana’s road infrastructure is so well developed that one can travel from one end of the state to the other in about three-and-a-half to four hours. The state enjoys direct connectivity to Delhi Airport, Chandigarh Airport and Hisar Airport. Keeping all these factors in mind, investors are continuously choosing Haryana, which will strengthen the state’s role in building a ‘Viksit Bharat’.
Haryana Has Established Its Identity in Every Sector
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that when Haryana was carved out of Punjab as a separate state in 1966, many doubted its progress. However, Haryana advanced rapidly and created its own distinct identity. Today, 10 percent of the personnel in the Indian Armed Forces belong to Haryana. In sports, whenever India wins a medal, players from Haryana make a significant contribution. Out of the Fortune 500 companies, around 250 operate in Haryana. The state ranks first in automobile manufacturing in the country. The state government will soon introduce a new industrial policy, which will attract more investors to Haryana.
Industrial Infrastructure Being Developed with Long-Term Planning
The Chief Minister said that industrial infrastructure in the state is being developed with careful planning to ensure that there are no issues for the next 50 years. The fruit market at Ganaur is nearly complete. There are also plans to relocate the Khari Baoli dry fruit market, marble trading market and Amritsar’s Majith Mandi to Haryana. Traders from these markets have shown interest in setting up operations in Haryana. He added that Haryana will also establish its identity in natural farming. Emphasizing environmental protection, he appealed to farmers not to burn crop residue. As a result of sustained efforts, incidents of stubble burning have reduced by up to 95 percent. The Hon’ble Court has cited Haryana as an example for effective stubble management, he added.
Prime Minister Has Transformed the Country
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that while the Congress party ruled the country for 55 years, Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has transformed the nation in just 11 years. He said the opposition is not fulfilling its role responsibly. The Prime Minister had set the target of making India the fifth-largest economy in the world, and this goal has been achieved. Under his leadership, the government has delivered on every parameter.
India–EU Agreement Will Benefit Haryana
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said following the India–European Union Free Trade Agreement, he convened a meeting of the Haryana European Trade Association. He welcomed the decision of the Government of India and praised Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi for the agreement. He said the agreement would provide significant benefits. Suggestions received during the meeting will be incorporated into the upcoming state budget. He added that continuous efforts are being made to further strengthen infrastructure in Gurugram.
