Haryana Unveils Startup and MSME Growth Strategy
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has directed officials to promote startups in every district and remove administrative bottlenecks for entrepreneurs as part of the state’s Vision 2047 development roadmap.
Chairing a review meeting on the Vision to Action Plan with officials from the MSME Department, Industries Department, Startup Haryana and the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC), the Chief Minister outlined a series of initiatives aimed at accelerating industrial growth, boosting employment and strengthening rural entrepreneurship.
The strategy focuses on improving the ease of doing business while expanding opportunities for startups and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
10 New Industrial Clusters and ₹2,000-Crore Startup Fund
As part of the government’s industrial expansion plans, Haryana will establish 10 new industrial clusters under the Programme to Accelerate Development for MSME Advancement (PADMA).
The Chief Minister also announced plans to create a ₹2,000-crore Startup Fund of Funds to improve access to capital for startups and encourage innovation across the state.
He noted that the government has already launched a ₹250-crore Atmanirbhar Startup Venture Fund, which aims to provide financial support to emerging entrepreneurs and technology-driven businesses.
Faster Business Approvals Through Revamped Single-Window System
To enhance the ease of doing business, the state government will revamp its single-window clearance system.
Under the proposed reforms, the time required for business approvals will initially be reduced from 45 days to 30 days, with a long-term objective of cutting the approval period by half.
The move is expected to simplify regulatory procedures, reduce delays and encourage greater private investment in Haryana.
Focus on Rural Entrepreneurship and Local Manufacturing
The Chief Minister also announced plans to establish a modern wood cluster at Barwala, aimed at promoting manufacturing and supporting local industries.
In addition, officials have been directed to organise Swadeshi Melas in every district to showcase locally produced goods and strengthen market opportunities for small businesses and artisans.
To expand market access, products manufactured by women’s self-help groups—including handmade rakhis—will be linked with leading e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Walmart.
The initiative is expected to help rural entrepreneurs reach customers across the country and increase their income.
Vision@2047 Focuses on Inclusive Economic Growth
The measures form part of Haryana’s broader Vision 2047 roadmap, which seeks to create a robust industrial ecosystem while encouraging innovation, entrepreneurship and employment generation.
