HSIIDC appoints 16 relationship managers

CHANDIGARH, MARCH 18
The Haryana Industries Minister, Capt. Abhimanyu, has said that the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) has appointed 16 relationship managers to convert the Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed during the ‘Happening Haryana Global Investors’ Summit-2016’ into projects by facilitating the investors.
      Replying to a Calling Attention Notice in the Budget Session of  the Haryana Vidhan Sabha today, he said that the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Bill-2016, now an Act, would be placed on the table of the House shortly. The Act provides for simplification of the regulatory framework and for assisting the promoters in speedy implementation of the industrial and other projects in the state by providing single-point time-bound clearances required for setting up of enterprises under one roof.
For projects with investment of more than Rs 10 crore and involving CLU of more than one acre will be cleared by the Empowered Executive Committee under PSCM. Projects with investment up to Rs 10 crore and CLU of up to one acre in conforming zones will be cleared by the District Level Clearance Committee headed by the Deputy Commissioner. The Executive Empowered Committee will also review implementation of MoUs periodically. Land would be made available from the developed land bank. The HSIIDC has also started the system of Online Geo-referenced Display to provide information to the investors regarding vacant land in the industrial estates, Capt Abhimanyu said.
The minister said that to propel the state to the next level of growth trajectory, the state came out with a path-breaking ‘Enterprises Promotion Policy-2015’ (EPP) in August, 2015. It envisions GDP growing at a rate higher than eight per cent, an investment of Rs 1 lakh crore and employment generation for four lakh persons by positioning Haryana as a pre-eminent investment destination. The policy also has focus on development of the manufacturing as well as e services sectors as they contribute more than 85 per cent to the state GDP.
Immediately after announcement of the new Enterprises Promotion Policy-2015, visits were undertaken to USA and Canada in August, 2015 for marketing Haryana as an ideal investment destination and for highlighting the facilitations and incentives. Much like other states, a team was created comprising officers of the State Government, National Partner CII, Knowledge Partner KPMG and Media Partner Adfactors. As a build-up to the main event scheduled for March, 2016, domestic roadshows were held in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Additionally, the Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal, led a delegation to Japan and China in January, 2016 to market Haryana and attract participation in the Investors’ Summit. The event was also aggressively marketed through a campaign on the electronics, print and social media. Simultaneously, top industry leaders, union ministers, ambassadors, high commissioners and other investors were contacted for participating in the Summit. The event had representation from 13 Central Cabinet Ministers, led by Finance Minister, Mr. Arun Jaitley.
“Happening Haryana had the benefit of Central Cabinet Ministers, including Mr Manohar Parrikar, Mr. Piyush Goel and Mr. Kalraj Mishra, personally chairing all our Technical Sessions. Ambassadors and High Commissioners of 12 partner countries from China, Czech Republic, Japan, Spain, UK, Mauritius, Malawi, New Zealand, Peru, South Korea, Tunisia and Canada attended the Summit besides participation by delegations from nearly 15 countries. More than 3,000 delegates attended the Summit, which included 160 foreign delegates. In spite of the disturbances that took place in February, 2016, the overwhelming participation in the event only reinforced the faith reposed by the investors in the state government,” Capt Abhimanyu added.
