CHANDIGARH, MARCH 14
The Haryana Government plans to introduce many a pro-labour and pro-industry amendment legislation during the Budget session to give industrialisation a push and the economy a leg-up, and is determined to get most of investment intents, signed at the two-day Happening Haryana Global Investors’s Summit converted into actual ground investments.
This was disclosed by the Haryana Governor, Prof. Kaptan Singh Solanki, while delivering the Governor’s Address on the first day of the Budget Session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, here today.
The Governor said that in order to pace up industrialisation, the government planned to bring amendments in the Payment of Wages Act to remove the anachronistic condition that wages must be paid in cash for workers drawing salary of up to Rs 18,000 per month.
It intends to introduce the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Bill, 2016 in the current session. Once enacted, it would usher in a revolutionary change, especially in removing the deplorable regional imbalances that had come up due to unwise and unthoughtful policies of the past, he added.
In order to propel the state to the next level of growth trajectory, the Haryana government had introduced the path-breaking ‘Enterprises Promotion Policy-2015. The policy envisions growth of higher than eight per cent, an investment of over Rs 1 lakh crore and employment generation for four lakh persons by positing Haryana as a pre-eminent investment destination.
Listing the measures taken to speed up things, he said that an e-biz portal was launched on January 15, 2016, to provide various industry-related clearances to the entrepreneurs under one roof.
Taking another step towards decentralisation, the government has decided that projects with investment more than Rs 10 crore and involving Change of Land Use (CLU) of more than one acre, would be cleared by the Empowered Executive Committee.
Projects with investment of up to Rs 10 crore and CLU up to one acre in conforming zones would be cleared by District Level Clearance Committee, headed by the Deputy Commissioner. Apart from this, online availability of various schemes on webportal with integrated payment gateway of Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) was launched in October, 2015. Besides, 119 industry-related services have been notified under Right to Service Act with time-bound schedules for approvals, he added.
Prof. Solanki said that a special campaign on start-ups had been launched to infuse the spirit of entrepreneurship among the young educated population of Haryana. This is a precursor to the launch of the incubator centre in each university and announcement of the Start-up Policy.
Referring to the Happening Haryana Global Investors Summit, the Governor said his government was determined to get most of investment intents converted into actual ground investments through close follow-up action, for which relationship managers had been appointed. The Summit was organised in Gurgaon on March 7 and 8 to showcase Haryana as a ‘Preferred Investment Destination’.
A number of Union Ministers, led by the Finance Minister, attended the inaugural and valedictory sessions, besides chairing the various technical sessions individually. As many as 359 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed by investors from all over the country and abroad to make investments to the tune of Rs 5.84 lakh crore in the near future. As many as 12 countries associated themselves as country partners for the Summit and thousands of investors, including more than 150 international delegates, participated.
The Governor said that in order to leverage investments along the Dedicated Freight Corridor from Delhi to Mumbai, the state government was planning three major initiatives, namely the Integrated Multi Modal Logistic Hub in southern Haryana, Global City in Gurgaon and Mass Rapid Transit System connecting Gurgaon-Manesar-Bawal.
It also proposes to establish a Mega Food Park project at Industrial Estate Barhi, over an area of about 75 acres, under the Centre’s Mega Food Park Scheme. The project site has been earmarked and the Centre would provide grant assistance of Rs 50 crore for this project. Nearly 100 plots and sheds would be carved out in the Mega Food Park for setting up of food processing units by the entrepreneurs.
Apart from this, a textile park would be set up in the state at the cost of Rs 181 crore, for which the Centre would provide subsidy of Rs 40 crore. An incubation centre would also be set up in the state at a cost of Rs 14 crore. A rail coach factory spread over 120 acres is also in the pipeline and the Centre has recently announced huge investments to expand rail connectivity in the state, the Governor added.
