Hry amends policy for licensing indl colonies

In yet another move to push industrial clusters across the state, theHaryanatown and country planning department has amended the policy for licensing industrial colonies/parks by restructuring zoning.
Apart from no capping on upper limit of area (in acres) for carving out industrial park or colony, the minimum area has been reduced from 50 to 25 acres, providing a second slab till 100 acres against the previous one till 200 acres. Department officials said the move would encourage more players of all levels to participate.

Unlike 2015 policy, which provided for special package for industrial colony for 200 acres and above, the new policy would provide for 100 acres and above. On zoning of industrial colonies/clusters, in 25-acre colony, 65% area would be saleable, with a minimum of 45% for industrial plots and 20% for residential and commercial area. The commercial area would not be more than 5%.

In the category of 100 acres and above, out of 65% saleable area, the entrepreneur or agency carving out industrial colony would have to ensure a minimum 35% of industrial plots and 30 % of residential and commercial areas. In all categories, colonisers would have to shell out a minimum of 10% mandatory areas for community Services to be provided by third parties. In a bid to ensure uniform Growth, the has already executed plans of having dedicated industrial clusters in districts and blocks.
