Haryana Regularizes Unauthorised Industrial Units

Chandigarh, May 18 (PTI) The Haryana cabinet here on Monday approved policy amendments to facilitate regularisation of unauthorised industrial establishments and ensure provision of basic civic amenities and infrastructure in such areas across the state.

The cabinet, which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, approved amendments for implementation of provisions of the Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Areas Outside Municipal Area (Special Provisions) Amendment Act, 2025.

"The decision aims to facilitate regularisation of unauthorised industrial establishments and ensure provision of basic civic amenities and infrastructure in such areas across the state," an official statement said after the cabinet meeting.

The cabinet was informed by the officials that the state government had enacted the Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Areas Outside Municipal Area (Special Provisions) Act, 2021 to provide essential services and civic infrastructure in deficient areas outside municipal limits and to improve living conditions of residents.

Subsequently, a policy was notified on July 19, 2022 and relaxation instructions were issued on April 6, 2023. However, the existing framework was not applicable to industrial colonies.

In line with the announcement made by the Chief Minister during the State Budget 2025, the government decided to extend similar benefits to unauthorised industrial establishments so that basic infrastructure and civic facilities could be provided in such areas.


Accordingly, amendments were made in the Act and notified on October 3, 2025 through Haryana Act No. 22 of 2025.

Under the approved amendments, industrial colonies spread over a minimum contiguous area of 10 acres comprising at least 50 industrial units and constructed prior to October 3, 2025 will be eligible under the policy framework.

The cabinet also approved creation of a dedicated online portal through which entrepreneurs or their authorised representatives will be able to submit applications for declaration of infrastructure-deficient industrial areas and regularisation of industrial establishments.

The amended policy also introduces the concept of an "authorised person" who can apply on behalf of entrepreneurs and industrial establishments located within an industrial colony.

The cabinet was informed that detailed documentation requirements, scrutiny mechanisms and district-level approval procedures have also been incorporated to ensure transparent and time-bound processing of applications.

The decision is expected to provide major relief to thousands of industrial establishments operating in unauthorised industrial clusters while facilitating planned infrastructure development, environmental compliance and improved industrial growth across Haryana, the statement said.
