Haryana is often called the “Food Mine” of the country.

About 80% of the population of the state

is agriculture dependent, directly or indirectly. Haryana is self sufficient in producing food grains
and is also a major contributor of food grains in meeting the needs of other states of the country.
The world famous Basmati Rice is produced here in abundance. The major cereals produced in
the state include wheat, rice, maize and bajra.

The crop production of Haryana can be broadly divided into Rabi and Kharif. The main kharif
crops in the state include sugarcane, groundnut, maize and paddy etc. The minor kharif crops are
chillis, bajra, jawar, pulses and vegetables.

There are two agro-climatic zones in the state. The north western part of the state is suitable for
the cultivation of Rice, Wheat, Vegetable and temperate fruits and the south-western part is
suitable for high quality agricultural produce, tropical fruits, exotic vegetables and herbal and
medicinal plants.

The state has also significantly contributed to the field of agricultural education in the country.
Asia's biggest agricultural University - Chaudhry Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University
is located at Hisar, which has already made a significant contribution in ushering 'Green
Revolution'. The National Dairy Research Institute set up at Karnal and Central Institute for
Research on Buffaloes at Hisar are constantly developing the breed of 'Hariana' cow and 'Murrah'
buffaloe. There is a network of veterinary institutions to maintain the health of livestock.

Diary farming is mostly seen in the rural areas and the economy depends largely on it. The other
crops which are grown in the state include cotton, jute, sugarcane, sesame, groundnut, oilseeds
and tobacco.

Irrigation of the state depends on the water provided by the Canals. The various canals which are
operating in the state include Western Yamuna Canal, Gurgaon Canal, Jui Canal, Jawaharlal Lal
Nehru Canal and Bhakra Canal. These canals are the main source of water for cultivation in
various districts of the state.

Agriculture is the main occupation of the people of Haryana. About 70% of the population is
depended upon agriculture for their livelihood. Haryana is self-sufficient in food grains
production and one of the top contributors of food grains to the Central pool. It contributes 40
to 45 lakh tonnes of food grains to the Central pool which is the second largest. The world
famous Basmati rice produced in Haryana finds an easy market abroad. The total food grain
production in the year 2001-2002 was 139.27 lakh tonnes. The production of oil seeds for the
year 2001-2002 was 6.70 lakh tons. At present about 37.50 lakh hectares is covered under
cereal crops like wheat, rice, maize and bajra yielding a total cereal production of 109,60,000
tons. The total number of farm tractors is about 1,96,500.

The state of Haryana has a geographical area of 44.20 lakh hectare. About 86% of the
geographical area is cultivable, of which 96% has already been brought under plough. Therefore,
there is hardly any scope for bringing additional area under cultivation, except for reclamation
of degraded lands affected by water logging, salinity and alkalinity. About 75% of the cultivated
area in the state is irrigated, wherein the contribution of tube wells / pumping sets is about 50%.
The cropping intensity in the state is nearly 170%.

Haryana has Asia's biggest agricultural University known as Chaudhary Charan Singh Agricultural
University (HAU) at Hissar, which has already made a significant contribution in ushering 'Green
Revolution'. Haryana together with Punjab is called the 'Grain Bowl' of India. Electricity is
supplied on subsidized rates to the agriculture sector. There is a network of canals and an
effective lift irrigation system for the arid areas of the state. As a result of the various incentives
being provided to the farmers, floriculture and horticulture are fast picking up. An ultra-modern
fruit and vegetable market and food processing complex of international standard is being
developed at Rai near Delhi to provide marketing and food processing facilities to the farmers
and entrepreneurs of the northern region. The main crops of Haryana are Wheat, Rice,
Sugarcane, Cotton, Oilseeds, Gram, Barley, Corn, Millet etc. There are two main types of crops in
Haryana: Rabi and Kharif.

The major Kharif crops of Haryana are rice, jowar, bajra, maize, cotton, jute, sugarcane, sesame
and groundnut. For these crops the ground is prepared in April and May and the seeds are sown
at the commencement of rains in June. The crops are ready for harvesting by the beginning of
November. The major Rabi crops are wheat, tobacco, gram, linseed, rapeseed and mustard. The
ground is prepared by the end of October or the beginning of November and the crops are
harvested by March.

The production of some of the main crops and the area under cultivation is as under:

Wheat: 75,54,000 tonnes - 20,64,000 hectares

Rice: 25,45,000 tonnes  -  9,10,000 hectares
Cotton: 11,29,000 tonnes  -  6,38,000 hectares
Bajra: 6,73,000 tonnes  -  5,84,000 hectares
Oil Seeds: 5,80,000 hectares
Gram: 3,10,000 tonnes  -  3,55,000 hectares

Dairy farming forms an essential part of Haryana's rural economy. It has been known as the 'milk
pail' of India. Dairy products like Milk, Ghee, Butter, Dahi and Paneer are a major part of the diet
of Haryana's people. The total milk production in the state is now approaching 33 lakh metric
tonnes. Animal husbandry has been taken up as an integral component of diversified
agriculture. Haryana has a livestock population of 98.97 lakh. To give farmers good price for
their dairy products and to help in marketing, a vast network of of milk producers societies has
been set up in the state. About 1500 milk societies are now working. Six milk plants set up in the
cooperative sector are now working in Jind, Bhiwani, Ambala, Rohtak, Hissar and Ballabhgarh.
One more is being set up in Sirsa.

Asia's best dairy research institute called the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) has been
set up in Karnal and it has been now upgraded to the status of 'deemed university'. Embryo
transfer technology is being introduced to further improve the quality of livestock as by
adopting this technique, a superior female can produce 12 off-springs through multiple
ovulation and embryo transfer. The state is regularly supplying eggs, layer-chicks and broilers to
the neighboring states of Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. However, it also has its markets in
the far away states of Assam and Bihar.

Haryana is the home of the word famous 'Murrah' buffaloes. Buffaloes constitute 45 % of the
total livestock population and they contribute 80.5 % of the total milk production. About one
lakh 'Murrah' buffaloes are exported every year to other states and abroad. Haryana supplies
the bulls of Murrah breed to all parts of India to improve the breed of buffalo stock. The NDRI,
Karnal and Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes. Hissar are constantly developing the
breed of 'Haryana' cow and 'Murrah' buffaloes. The break up of milk production in the state is as
under:

Buffalo Milk: 32,19,000 tonnes

Cow Milk: 7,61,000 tonnes
Goat Milk: 82,000 tonnes

Haryana has 7 Intensive cattle development projects, 620 Veterinary hospitals, 864 Stockman
centers, 749 dispensaries, 60 Regional artificial insemination centers and 10 Semen banks.

Horticulture and vegetable farming are now being encouraged in Haryana. At present about
13,000 hectares of orchards of fruits like oranges, malta, kinnoo, mausami, ber (Indian Jujube)
and mangoes are being cultivated.

Irrigation canals form the lifeline of agriculture in Haryana. The main irrigation canal of Haryana
is the Western Yamuna Canal. It takes off at Tajewala from the river Yamuna. This canal irrigates
the districts of Kurukshetra, Karnal, Jind, Sonipat and Rohtak. Another, Gurgaon canal takes off
at Okhla, near Delhi from the river Yamuna and is used to irrigate parts of Gurgaon and
Faridabad districts. The districts of Bhiwani and Mahendergarh are fed by the Jui canal, Bhiwani
canal and the Jawahar Lal Nehru canal. The Bhakra canal which takes off at Nangal from the
river Sutluj irrigates the districts of Hissar and Sirsa. The total area irrigated by canal water is
21.40 lakh hectares.

Irrigation facilities in the state have been augmented by providing subsidies on minor irrigation
works. The number of tube wells and pumping sets has increased to 5.97 lakh as compared to
27,957 during 1966-67. For judicious use of water, sprinkler irrigation system has been
encouraged and now 79,969 sprinkler irrigation sets are functioning in rain fed area of the state.
 
 Basic Industrial & Financial Infrastructure

Haryana's two strongest points - physical infrastructure and

Goverenment support - are the top two determinants of investment
decision. Further strengthening the infrastructure in order to support
the growth process has been accepted by the State as the mainstay
of its polict initiatives. A number of projects for development of
industrial infrastructure are being implemented.

Land

Haryana provides ample choice to an industrialist so far as land is

concerned. Industrial land is being continuously developed and allotted to potential entrepreneurs.
Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC), a State Goverenment enterprise develops
and provides industrial plots/sheds at reasonable and competitive rates. It has been declared as a model
agency for development of industrial infrastructure in the state. So far it has developed 35 industrial
estates in which 5417 fully developed plots and 585 sheds have been provided. It's 'Udyog Vihar
Complex' at Gurgaon has earned a name for itself for providing high quality infrastructural facilities.
Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) is another such agency which has developed and sold
industrial plots besides developing commercial and residential sites.
There are no restrictions, whatsoever, on setting up an industry on private land. It should, however, not
disturb the development plant of the area.
82 industrial estates having 12,300 plots have already been developed and sold out. Main Industrial
Estates under development are :

Manpower

Haryana has a rich reservoir of trained and skilled manpower. There are 7 reputed institutes of
Engineering and Technology which run Degree/Diploma courses in various disciplines. 26 Polytechnics
impart training and offer diploma courses in various specialised areas.
There are 185 industrial training institutes in the State providing technical
training in engineering and non-engineering trades. In addition, a network of
training-cum-production centres conduct courses in special crafts.

Every year about 30,000 students pass out from these institutions adding to
Haryana's rich blue and white collar potential. This is apart from the
unskilled labour existing in the State.

Wages of skilled and unskilled labour are about US$6 and US$3 per day
respectively.

Haryana has an excellent law and order situation with a peace loving
hardworking populance. Industrial relations are harmonious with cordial
employer-employee relations.

Communication

Haryana has a state-wide network of efficient telecommunication facilities. At the close of 1996-97, these
are:
  The State has 784 telephone exchanges out of which 773 are electronic.
 94 towns including all the 81 Municipal Areas have STD/ISD facilities.
 6510 out of 7018 villages have been linked with telephone facilities.
 320 more villages are planned to be covered during 1997-98.
 Total number of live connections at the close of 1996-97 are 3,55,314.

A mobile telecommunication network is already under implementation and it is expected that in the next
two years the entire State will be covered. Important areas around Delhi are already part of Local Delhi
Mobile Telecommunication System. This network system would easily cover major towns like Faridabad,
Gurgaon, Bahadurgarh and Kundli.

Power

Haryana State has always given high priority to the expansion of electricity
infrastructure, as it is one of most important inputs for the development of
the State. Haryana was the first State in the country to achieve 100% rural
electrification in 1970.

Haryana Power Sector has recently been restructured by establishing two

separate Government owned Corporation: Haryana Vidyut Prasaran
Nigam Limited (TRANSCO) and Haryana Power Generation Corporation
Limited (GENCO). Earlier the power sector was being managed by the
State owned Haryana State Electricity Board (HSEB).

The two new corporations were established on 14 th August, 1998 under

the provisions of Haryana Electricity Reforms Act. 1997.

GENCO is responsible for operation and maintenance and expansion of existing Panipat and Faridabad
Thermal Power Stations and Western Yamuna Canal Hydro-Electric Project.

TRANSCO is to handle the purchase of power and wheel it for bulk distribution in the State.

For retail distribution of power, two state owned distribution companies are being established which will
be converted into joint venture companies with majority equity holding of the private sector.

Haryana Government has constituted an independent Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission

(HERC), under the Haryana Electricity Reforms Act, 1997 to aid and advise the State Government on the
development of power sector and take appropriate steps to balance the interest of consumers, power
entities and generation companies.

A massive investment of over US $ 1.4 billion has been planned towards rehabilitation and expansion of
the power transmission and distribution over the next 8-10 years. This would include emphasis on
demand side management and efficiency improvement measures.

LEASING

HSIDC and HFC are also providing lease assistance under the Lease Finance Scheme.

UNDERWRITING OF PUBLIC ISSUES

HSIDC extends the underwriting support to public issues of those industrial companies which have their
base in Haryana.

Haryana has a wide institutional network for providing land, infrastructure and assistance to the
entrepreneurs. It has formed various Industrial Promotion Agencies to tend to industries and help them
grow and resolve their problems, if any, encountered by them.
NATIONAL EQUITY FUND

HFC operates the scheme, promoted by SIDBI under the name of National Equity Fund Scheme which
provides equity type of support to entrepreneurs for setting up new projects under tiny and small scale

gives assistance of 25% as soft loan towards equity basis of the project. The project cost should not
exceed Rs. 10 lacs. Similar scheme is also being operated under the name of Mahila Udhyam Nidhi
Scheme specially meant for women entrepreneurs.

Industrial Infrastructure Development

HSIIDC is the nodal agency of Haryana Government to develop

industrial and its support infrastructure in the State. In fulfillment
of the mandate it is developing industrial infrastructure of
different hierarchies. A Township named Ch. Devi Lal Industrial
Model Township, Manesar near Gurgaon is being developed
over an area measuring about 5000 acre has already become the
destination of many Multi National Companies like Denso,
Honda, Suzuki, Norcool, Barco, Mitsubishi, Duracell, NHK, to
name a few. HSIIDC is also developing Industrial Growth Centre
at Bawal over an area measuring 1200 acre which has also emerged as the destination of Multi-
National Companies like YKK, TDT Copper, Exide, Becton Dickinson, Nerolac, Svedla, Ashai
Glass, to name a few.

A multi functional complex is also being developed at Kundli popularly known as Rai-Kundli
Multi-functional Complex. It is in this complex that Export Promotion Industrial Park, Food
Park, Cold Chain Complex have been developed by HSIIDC.HSIIDC has also developed
Industrial Infrastructure Development Centre (IIDC) at Rai, Barhi near Gannaur, Sirsa and
Manakpur in Yamunanagar District. Industrial Growth Centre and a Food Park has also been
developed by HSIIDC at Saha in Ambala District together measuring 415 acre. The Industrial
Growth Centre has been sanctioned by Govt. of India, Ministry of Commerce and Food Park has
been sanctioned by the Ministry of Food Processing. Plots are readily available for general
industry and also for food processing and packaging industry at Saha.To relocate the Plywood
Industry from congested area of Yamunanagar, HSIIDC is acquiring about 345 acre land in
Yamunanagar on Yamunanagar - Radaur Highway. HSIIDC has also acquired land at Barhi (Ph-
II) over an area measuring 330 acres in continuity of IIDC. The land will be available for
allotment to the Hosiery and Textiles processing, knitting units etc. HSIIDC has also plans to
develop state-of-the-art and high security zone for Gems and Jewellery Park at Gurgaon. The
discussions had been held on its concept with major players in this trade both in India and
abroad.

HSIIDC has also plans to set up two more Food Parks in the State at Narwana and Dabwali.
Land at Narwana has already been acquired.
IThe available infrastructure in the industrial estates has also been refurbished for
smoother functioning. 

GENERAL
The State Government recognizes infrastructure as a key facilitator of economic development. The state would adopt an
integrated approach to develop industrial & supportive infrastructure and will also encourage private participation in this
sector.

In the Industrial Policy of 1999 an integrated approach to develop industrial infrastructure was adopted. However, private
participation in Infrastructure Development could not be achieved in the absence of policy guidelines.  The present policy
will encourage private participation in development of infrastructure on Build and Transfer, Build Operate and Transfer and
Build Own Operate and Maintain basis.

To facilitate coordinated development of infrastructure and participation of private sector including FDI, the
Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC) will be the nodal agency for infrastructure
development and would be converted into “Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development
Corporation” (HSIIDC). 
INDUSTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ESTATES

HSIDC will continue to be the sole agency for the development of industrial areas/ estates in the state. The level of
infrastructure in each industrial estate to be provided by

the developing agency shall keep in view the requirements of industry.  Private sector participation shall be encouraged in
the developing industrial and related infrastructure.

As far as possible, HSIDC shall adopt a comprehensive approach to development and provide commercial, housing, labour
colonies, social infrastructure, effluent disposal and solid waste management in all its industrial estates.

NEW ECONOMIC HUBS

The development of Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway has been undertaken by HSIDC. This will throw open
unprecedented opportunities to develop economic hubs at strategic locations along the expressway. The State Government
will strive to strengthen and develop new integrated townships along the expressway and other strategic locations in the

DEVELOPMENT OF MEGA PETROCHEMICAL HUB

IOCL is implementing two mega projects at Panipat, utilizing captive feedstock from its refineries. One of the projects is for
setting up of integrated Para-xylene/ Purified Terephthatic Acid (PX/PTA). The other project is for setting up of Naptha
Cracker along with downstream polymer units. 
In view of the availability of requisite feedstock in close proximity, there is a proposal to develop an ”Industrial Park” in
and around Panipat for the development of down stream industries.  This petrochemical hub would be developed with all
basic amenities like fully developed roads, drains, sewerage, street lights, electricity, common effluent treatment plant, fire
fighting station, commercial and housing facilities including development of social infrastructure like schooling, hospitals,
parks etc.

State Government in collaboration with Central Government will set up a “Central Institute of Plastic and Engineering
