SEZ Garhi Harsaru
As a sequel to the new Industrial Policy announced by the Govt. of Haryana.
Govt. of India has approved in principle the setting up of a Special Economic
Zone (SEZ) near Garhi Harsaru in District Gurgaon.
The SEZ is being set up in two phases over an area of 3000 acre at an estimated
cost of Rs.2060 crore. The SEZ, which is being set up by HSIIDC would help
in accelerating growth-led development besides promoting Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) and resultant exports. The scheme was introduced in the Exim Policy
2000 with a view to provide hassle free environment for export production.
The focus of SEZ is to remove restrictive export-import regulations, ensure
trade liberalization, simplify procedures relating to administration of foreign
trade and provide incentives to certain export categories to generate exports
from the country.
The proposed SEZ will be a duty free enclave and a deemed foreign territory
where no license would be required for imports. The import of capital goods,
raw materials, consumables etc. and their procurement from the domestic market
will be exempted from customs duty and central excise. The supplies from Domestic
Tariff Area (DTA) to SEZ units will be treated as deemed exports. 100% FDI
in manufacturing sector will be allowed through automatic route for the projects
being set up in SEZ and the profits earned by these units will be allowed
to be repatriated freely without any dividend balancing requirement. In addition
to above the goods imported or procured locally without the payment of duty
shall be utilised over the approval period of 5 years. The SEZ units will
be provided in-house custom clearance and no separate documentation would
be required for custom and Exim Policy.
The proposed site is on the State Highway leading from Gurgaon to Pataudi
abutting the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway. The SEZ has been planned to cater
to a wide spectrum of target segment such as; automobiles and auto components,
high precision industries, textiles and readymade garments, pharmaceuticals,
IT industry, white goods and light engineering goods. The project has been
conceived to be developed as an integrated self-contained industrial township
with a flyover on NH 8 to provide free flow of traffic. Industry related infrastructure
of truly international standard shall be provided in the form of wide roads,
dedicated electrification, water supply, storm water drainage, common effluent
treatment plant etc.
1715 acres of land for the first phase of this project is in an advanced stage
of acquisition and the process to acquire the land for the second phase is
being initiated shortly. About 2400 units would be set up in this township
providing direct employment to more 60,000 workers. When implemented, these
units are expected to generate export earnings to the tune of Rs.42,000 crore
Reliance
Haryana SEZ - Country's the largest SEZ
Reliance has incorporated a company by the name of Reliance Haryana SEZ to
set up this multi-product zone. The 25,000-acre SEZ is tipped to be India's
largest.
Apart from basic industries, the project will attract next-generation businesses
like bio-technology. Of the total area of the SEZ, 6,500 acres have been earmarked
for low-polluting industries, 5,000 acres each for basic infrastructure and
commercial establishments, 3,750 acres for residential purposes and 1,250
acres each for institutional area, leisure and entertainment.
The idea is to develop the critical mass. Development of infrastructure is
a continuous process but considering that the project would be developed over
an area of 25,000 acres, the investment could anywhere be between Rs 25,000-40,000
crore. The competition of this SEZ will not be with the SEZs of other states.
We would be competing with the most favoured investment destinations such
as Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai and China.”
The SEZ by Reliance would be in addition to nine SEZs already approved in principle by the Central Government in Haryana. The areas that could be successfully developed in this SEZ are automobiles, auto components, agro based industry, biotech, IT and garments, strive to get the best of the Fortune 500 companies to invest.
KMPE
Development of the Global Corridor: Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Western Expressway
For the development of world-class infrastructure in the state, Government
of Haryana has plan to develop the Global Corridor along Kundli-Manesar-Palwal
(KMP) Western Expressway. In this corridor, top class infrastructure facilities
that will be at par with international standards are being created. These
are meant to meet not only the needs and dreams of the investors but also
those who will be living there. Further, there will be a number of specialized
economic activities in this corridor, making it growth centric. Each lead
economic activity is envisaged to be the focus of a self sustaining specialized
and independent cluster city. A number of such cluster cities integrated under
one umbrella will provide the overall spatial form of the global urban corridor.
In between these nodes, recreational, forest and green area will be developed.
The Expressway will enable strong linkages between the industrial units in
the SEZ and the industrial concentrations, within the Haryana Sub-Region of
National Capital Region. The Express highway linking the National Highway
NO.1, 10, and 8 by passing the National Capital Territory Delhi has been proposed
for spatial integration. The project has been envisaged for better coordination
and administrative convenience. These industrial concentrations are given
as under:
§ Panipat-Sonipat_kundli Industrial Corridor on National Highway No.1.
§ Bhadurgarh-Rohatak Industrial Corridor on National Highway No.10.
§ Gurgaon-Manesar-Bawal Industrial Corridor on National Highway No.8.
§ Faridabad-Palwal Industrial Corridor on National Highway No.1-A.
The Express Highway Project linking these National Highway has been conceived
to be co-terminus with SEZ. Once these two projects take shape on the ground
simultaneously, the proposed SEZ shall definitely act as catalytic of Regional
Development
New
Cities
In Haryana three new townships near:
§ Sampla
§ Badli-Jahangirpur
§ Ganaur-Samalkha
are to be developed with most modern transport system to all these areas on
the pattern of modern townships. They will not only help in decongesting the
national capital but in the process, also become growth engines for development
of the surrounding areas.
