In the Industrial Policy of 1999 an integrated approach to develop industrial infrastructure was adopted. However, private participation in Infrastructure Development could not be achieved in the absence of policy guidelines.  The present policy will encourage private participation in development of infrastructure on Build and Transfer, Build Operate and Transfer and Build Own Operate and Maintain basis.

HSIDC will continue to be the sole agency for the development of industrial areas/ estates in the state. The level of infrastructure in each industrial estate to be provided by

the developing agency shall keep in view the requirements of industry.  Private sector participation shall be encouraged in the developing industrial and related infrastructure.

As far as possible, HSIDC shall adopt a comprehensive approach to development and provide commercial, housing, labour colonies, social infrastructure, effluent disposal and solid waste management in all its industrial estates.

HSIDC has developed an industrial model township at Manesar on modern lines. This has been a very successful venture and has been welcomed by user industry. It is proposed to replicate the development and put up two IMTs during the next five years at suitable locations in the state each comprising of an initial area of about 2000 acres.

These township shall draw upon the experience of IMT Manesar and shall include campuses for large industries, ICT parks, industrial plots, flatted factories, residential colonies, labour housing, commercial and institutional areas, entertainment zones, educational & health care facilities etc. The development will be of international standard with power, water supply, roads, sewerage, effluent disposal, storm water disposal, and solid waste management to enable enterprises to function in a pleasing environment.  

IOCL is implementing two mega projects at Panipat, utilizing captive feedstock from its refineries. One of the projects is for setting up of integrated Para-xylene/ Purified Terephthatic Acid (PX/PTA). The other project is for setting up of Naptha Cracker along with downstream polymer units. 

In view of the availability of requisite feedstock in close proximity, there is a proposal to develop an ”Industrial Park” in and around Panipat for the development of down stream industries.  This petrochemical hub would be developed with all basic amenities like fully developed roads, drains, sewerage, street lights, electricity, common effluent treatment plant, fire fighting station, commercial and housing facilities including development of social infrastructure like schooling, hospitals, parks etc.

State Government in collaboration with Central Government will set up a “Central Institute of Plastic and Engineering Technology” so as to undertake research and development and to create skilled manpower for the development of Petrochemical Industry.

Food Processing Industry is a sunrise sector. The growth potential for this sector is enormous as the demand for processed food products is increasing in the domestic as well as in the overseas markets. The State Government shall promote this sector through public investment and by facilitating private investment in development of processing industry and supportive infrastructure. Private/ Public/Joint Sector initiative for development of cold chains, grading, transportation and post harvest storage facilities will be supported.

Government of India has planned to set up of six Mega Food Parks in India.  The Central Government is also in the process of establishing a “National Institute for Food Technology, Entrepreneurship and Management” which will be first of its kind in India. Haryana being a leading State in agriculture would make strenuous efforts to get one such Mega Food Park and the National Institute for the Food Technology Management located in the State.
