Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister, Rao Narbir Singh, highlighted the state's role in realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a "Developed India 2047" at the Haryana State Day celebrations during the India International Trade Fair at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi on Sunday.
He said that Haryana, known for its hopes and opportunities, is contributing significantly to India's economic growth and will continue to play a key role in national prosperity and empowerment. Rao Narbir Singh said that despite comprising just 1.34 per cent of India's area and 2.09 per cent of its population, Haryana is a major engine of India's economic development. The state leads in automobile and IT industries, producing every second car and 52% of the country's tractors. Haryana's robust infrastructure, including highways, expressways, and metro rail, supports its industrial growth, he said. He said that Haryana is connected by national highways to every district, and new national highways spanning 1,350 km have been constructed in the last decade at a cost of Rs 40,000 crore. The state is also making strides in education, with world-class institutions across various fields. Rao Narbir Singh said that Haryana has created a favorable environment for industry and business, attracting both domestic and international investors. The state ranks second in India for providing logistics facilities to industries and is home to the offices of global Fortune 400 companies in Gurugram. Haryana also leads the country in foodgrain reserves and sports achievements. The Minister announced the upcoming Maruti plant in Kharkhoda and the development of a 3,300-acre industrial township near Kharkhoda. An IMT is being developed in Sohna, and the NCR region is being transformed into a logistics hub. The state is also providing incentives to expand existing industries and encourage MSME growth. (ANI)
