The Delhi government is looking to attract clean, technology-driven and knowledge-based industries to the capital, with Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa holding a meeting with industry and real estate stakeholders on Friday to discuss ways to build a future-ready industrial ecosystem.
The government said Delhis skilled workforce, strong metro network, proximity to the airport and established services sector can help attract new-age businesses and generate quality employment. Sirsa said the government wants industry representatives to be part of the process of shaping Delhis next industrial policy. Around 1,148 acres of greenfield industrial opportunities have been identified across the city. This includes nearly 920 acres in Kanjhawala, 147 acres in Ranikhera and 81 acres in Baprola. The government is also exploring the redevelopment of the eight-acre Jhandewalan Flatted Factory Complex into modern industrial and commercial spaces, the release said. The proposed New Industrial Policy 202636 will focus on industries that offer high economic value while having a lower environmental impact. The policy is also expected to promote investment, innovation, employment and ease of doing business, while attracting Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and other knowledge-based sectors. The meeting was attended by senior Industries Department officials, DSIDC Managing Director Nazuk Kumar, representatives of NASSCOM and real estate stakeholders. The government is also working on a new Startup Policy, Delhi Ease of Doing Business Bill 2026 and a new Export Promotion Policy. Sirsa said the governments focus is not merely on bringing more industries to Delhi but on attracting businesses that are technology-driven, clean and capable of creating high-quality jobs. He also stressed that future industrial growth would need to be aligned with Delhis long-term planning and environmental goals. (ANI)
