The Haryana government will set up a terminal market at Ganaur in Sonepat district to encourage trading and food processing of vegetables and fruits. The terminal market will be set up by Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board on an area of 500 acre land and will benefit farmers of the neighboring states as well. The market will further activate the economic activities in the region.
This was stated by Haryana chief secretary Promilla Issar at the ongoing trade fair at New Delhi. She said that Haryana has recently witnessed unprecedented flow of investment of Rs 28,000 crore in a span of just 32 months. Projects worth Rs 60,000 crore are also in the pipeline. On the occasion, she also released the ‘Flash Fair Guide’ of Haryana pavilion published by the Trade Fair Authority of Haryana, containing the significant information regarding the products and exhibitors participating in the pavilion. She further informed that this directory would keep a record of all exhibitors and would benefit the visitors.
Unveiling the Haryana of the future, the chief secretary said that development of Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) alongwith Delhi-Mumbai Freight Corridor (DFC) as planned by Union government would give further fillip to the development of industrial sector in the state and strengthen its economy.
Industrial parks and clusters, power plants and knowledge hubs with world-class infrastructural facilities would be the hallmark of this corridor.
About 60% of the area in Haryana would be under project influence area, which would be 150 kms on both sides of the DFC. One investment region in Faridabad-Palwal and one industrial area in Manesar Palwal had been proposed for development under DMIC, she added.
Mrs Issar informed that consistent efforts of the state government had resulted in Haryana becoming the best managed state in the country in terms of its financial and fiscal management with minimum fiscal deficit of 0.6% in the last financial year. On a sound financial footing and excellent financial health, Haryana would definitely surge ahead as a fully developed state in a future not far away, she claimed. She said that so far the state had received foreign direct investment of Rs 14,000 crore, out of which 8,000 crore had come up after the implementation of the New Industrial Policy 2005. With its highest per capita income, per capita investment and minimum wages, Haryana today can surely be considered the ideal destination for investment. The state had about 1,000 projects with foreign technical or financial collaboration, she added.
