Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026: Complete Guide to Financial Incentives, Eligibility & Conditions
Haryana MSME Policy 2026: what changed, and why it matters to your project
A manufacturing MSME setting up in Haryana can now claim a capital investment subsidy of 15% to 30% of eligible capital expenditure, up to ₹4 crore, plus interest subsidy, net SGST reimbursement for seven years, stamp duty refund and employment assistance — under the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026, notified on 29 July 2026.
The policy was notified through Haryana Government Gazette (Extraordinary) No. 114-2026/Ext. vide Notification No. 02/04/2026-1IB-II dated 29.07.2026 by the Industries & Commerce Department. It supersedes the Haryana MSME Policy 2019 and the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy (HEEP) 2020, and is effective for five years from the date of notification.
Two changes matter most to anyone planning an investment:
The old A/B/C/D block classification is gone. Incentives are now linked to four area categories — Core, Intermediate, Sub-Prime and Prime/Focus — defined by where your plot sits in Haryana's planning and industrial framework, not by district block.
Capital subsidy is no longer a micro-enterprise benefit alone. Micro, small and medium manufacturing units, and exporters, in notified thrust sectors can all claim it, with caps running up to ₹4 crore.
This guide sets out the financial incentives scheme by scheme, who is eligible, what conditions apply, and how to approach an application.

The six pillars
The policy organises its initiatives under six pillars. Every scheme below sits in one of them.
Access to finance and financing avenues — capital subsidy, interest subsidy, SGST reimbursement, insurance, credit guarantee
Infrastructure and regulatory frameworks — plug & play clusters, common facility centres, stamp duty, freight, export parks
Quality, competitiveness and technology upgradation — automation, R&D, AI, testing equipment, certifications
Market access and global trade — trade fairs, market development assistance, e-commerce onboarding
Greening and sustainable development — solar rooftop, energy efficiency, ETP/ZLD, circular economy
Skills and employment — local employment generation subsidy, EPF support, export-readiness training
Why exports are central
Haryana recorded merchandise exports of US$ 19.10 billion in FY25, making it India's 8th largest exporting state with a 4.4% share. Gurugram, Faridabad, Karnal, Sonipat and Panipat are the top exporting districts. The United States alone takes 26.07% of Haryana's exports, followed by Saudi Arabia, the UK, the UAE and Iraq. Much of this volume runs through MSME supply chains, which is why roughly a third of the policy's schemes are export-linked.
Who is eligible under the Haryana MSME Policy 2026
Eligibility turns on four questions: Are you an MSME? Where is your plot? Which sector are you in? And is the project new, an expansion or a diversification?
1. MSME classification
The policy follows the revised national MSME definition.
Category | Investment in plant, machinery & equipment | Annual turnover |
Micro | Up to ₹2.50 crore | Up to ₹10 crore |
Small | Up to ₹25 crore | Up to ₹100 crore |
Medium | Up to ₹125 crore | Up to ₹500 crore |
A valid Udyam Registration is the base requirement. Several schemes are restricted to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) only — these are flagged scheme by scheme below.
2. Area classification — the four zones
The A/B/C/D block system has been replaced. Your subsidy rate depends on which of these four categories your plot falls into.
Area category | What it covers |
Prime / Focus Areas | Any area within Industrial Investment Promotion Zones notified by the Department of Industries & Commerce, Haryana |
Sub-Prime Areas | Conforming Industrial Zones in notified Development Plans; vacant and unallotted plots in HSIIDC Industrial Model Townships / Industrial Estates; vacant and unallotted plots in licensed private industrial parks or colonies; land granted an industrial colony licence after this policy; areas outside Controlled Area limits not already in Prime/Focus |
Intermediate Areas | Allotted plots in HSIIDC IMTs and Industrial Estates; allotted plots in licensed private industrial parks or colonies; areas between municipal limits and Controlled Area limits not already classified above |
Core Areas | Areas within municipal limits notified by the Urban Local Bodies Department, excluding anything already covered above |
Allotted vs unallotted matters. A plot in an HSIIDC estate for which a Regular Letter of Allotment (RLA) had been issued as on the date of notification is "allotted" (Intermediate). A plot with no RLA issued as on that date is "unallotted" (Sub-Prime). The same logic applies to private industrial parks using the Allotment Letter / Buyer-Developer Agreement. Municipal and Controlled Area limits are read as they stood on the date the policy was promulgated.
The practical consequence is significant: the same ₹10 crore project can attract ₹1.5 crore in Core Areas and ₹3 crore in Prime/Focus Areas. Site selection is now a subsidy decision.
3. Thrust sectors
Capital investment subsidy under the Haryana Udyam Vikas Mission is available to manufacturing MSMEs and exporters in identified thrust sectors:
Auto & Auto Components, EV
Aerospace & Defence
General Engineering, Metal Products and Steel Fabrication
Electrical, Electronics and Scientific Instruments
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices
Rubber & Plastic (including Toys and Sports goods)
Footwear and Leather Products
Renewable Energy, Circular Economy & Green Industry (solar cell/panel manufacturing, agri-waste to fuel/energy, bio-energy)
Textile and Apparel
Food Processing
Schemes outside the Udyam Vikas Mission — certifications, e-commerce, freight, solar, employment — are generally available to eligible MSMEs beyond the thrust-sector list, subject to each scheme's own conditions.
4. Project type and key definitions
New unit — an enterprise that has arranged land or premises by way of purchase, allotment, transfer, registered lease or rent, obtained sanction for finance where applicable, applied for CLU/industrial licence where applicable, and commences commercial production during the operative period.
Expansion project — additional investment in plant, machinery and equipment over the existing level, within five years of commencement, meeting the thresholds the policy prescribes.
Diversification project — investment to manufacture a product not previously made by the unit, within the prescribed thresholds.
Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) — investment in land, building, plant, machinery, equipment and allied assets. Pre-operative expenses, working capital, and expenditure on technology or technical know-how (consultancy charges, royalty, design and drawings, patents, licences and other intellectual property) are excluded from FCI, whether or not capitalised in the books. Transfer of plant, machinery or equipment from another unit does not count towards fresh capital investment.
Exporter — a manufacturing enterprise registered with an Import Export Code (IEC), deriving at least part of its turnover from exports.
Local employee — a person who is a bona fide resident of Haryana as defined by the Government of Haryana from time to time, verified through Parivar Pehchan Patra.
Priority categories
Enterprises owned by women, Scheduled Caste, Divyangjan (persons with disabilities), transgender persons, ex-servicemen, Agniveers and first-generation exporters receive enhanced support across several schemes. For a partnership, LLP or company, the entity qualifies where such persons hold at least 51% of the shareholding or partnership interest.
Pillar 1 — Access to finance: capital, interest and tax incentives
This is where the largest rupee amounts sit.
Haryana Udyam Vikas Mission — Capital Investment Subsidy
Available to new, expansion and diversification manufacturing projects by MSMEs and exporters in thrust sectors.
Area category | Subsidy rate | Maximum cap |
Core Areas | 15% of eligible capital expenditure | ₹2.00 crore |
Intermediate Areas | 20% of eligible capital expenditure | ₹2.50 crore |
Sub-Prime Areas | 25% of eligible capital expenditure | ₹3.50 crore |
Prime / Focus Areas | 30% of eligible capital expenditure | ₹4.00 crore |
Export-oriented units undertaking expansion are eligible for additional top-up support over and above these rates.
Haryana Interest Subsidy Scheme (Micro and Small units)
Interest subsidy on term loans taken from scheduled commercial banks or approved financial institutions, for new, expansion and diversification projects.
Area category | Interest subsidy | Maximum per year |
Core Areas | 5% | ₹20.00 lakh |
Intermediate Areas | 6% | ₹20.00 lakh |
Sub-Prime and Prime / Focus Areas | 7% | ₹25.00 lakh |
Haryana Net SGST Reimbursement Subsidy — 7 years
Reimbursement of net SGST on intra-state sales, for seven years. The rate depends on your area category and on the proportion of B2C sales made within Haryana.
Area category | Case I: ≥ 50% B2C sales in Haryana | Case II: < 50% B2C sales in Haryana |
Core Areas | 30% of Net SGST | 20% of Net SGST |
Intermediate Areas | 50% of Net SGST | 40% of Net SGST |
Sub-Prime Areas | 60% of Net SGST | 50% of Net SGST |
Prime / Focus Areas | 70% of Net SGST | 60% of Net SGST |
The proportion of B2C and B2B sales is certified annually by the Excise and Taxation Department (DETC) or an authority designated by the Government, and the incentive is computed on actual sales for the relevant financial year.
Haryana MSE Insurance Scheme
33% of the insurance premium, up to ₹5.00 lakh per year, on a reimbursement basis for 3 years, for new and existing manufacturing micro and small units.
Export Credit Interest Subvention
3% interest subvention on pre-shipment and post-shipment export credit from scheduled commercial banks, up to ₹10.00 lakh per unit per year for 3 years. This directly reduces the working-capital cost of fulfilling an export order.
Export Credit Insurance Premium Support
Support towards ECGC-type export credit insurance premium, to protect MSME exporters against buyer default, political risk and non-payment in overseas markets. Rates and caps are set out in the scheme guidelines.
Haryana Sectoral Credit Guarantee Fund
A state-level credit guarantee fund to support collateral-free lending to MSMEs, operating alongside CGTMSE. It is intended to make banks more willing to lend to first-time borrowers, growth-stage units and export-oriented enterprises without hard collateral.
Haryana Venture Capital Fund
A ₹200 crore state venture capital fund to provide equity and quasi-equity to innovation-driven startups and high-potential MSMEs that cannot service conventional debt.
Supporting institutional measures
Partnerships with leading banks for customised MSME banking and credit products
A dedicated Credit Facilitation Cell in the Directorate of MSME for credit access and stressed MSMEs
District-level Export Finance Literacy Clinics
MoUs to promote liquidity through TReDS platforms for faster realisation of receivables
Pillar 2 — Infrastructure, land costs and regulatory relief
Stamp Duty Refund Scheme
Refund of stamp duty paid on purchase or lease of land for industrial use, claimable within five years of the date of purchase or lease.
Area category | Refund of stamp duty paid |
Core Areas | 30% |
Intermediate Areas | 60% |
Sub-Prime Areas | 75% |
Prime / Focus Areas | 100% |
On a ₹5 crore land purchase, the difference between a Core Area plot and a Prime/Focus plot can run into tens of lakhs of rupees in stamp duty alone.
Haryana Cluster Plug & Play Scheme
Grant-in-aid for developers creating ready-to-occupy industrial sheds, so that an MSME can start production without building a factory.
Project size | Grant-in-aid | Maximum | Minimum sheds to be developed |
5 acres | 50% of total project cost | ₹5.00 crore | 10 sheds / plug & play facilities |
10+ acres | 40% of total project cost | ₹10.00 crore | 20 sheds / plug & play facilities |
For projects between 5 and 10 acres, the grant is calculated as ₹5.00 crore plus ₹1.00 crore per additional acre beyond 5 acres, proportionately.
Haryana MSE Common Facility Centre (CFC) Scheme
Grant-in-aid for shared infrastructure — common machinery, testing, design, treatment, packaging, R&D, training and marketing facilities — set up for clusters of micro and small enterprises. The scheme builds on the Mini Cluster Development Scheme and is aimed at clusters in engineering, auto components, plastics, glass, textiles, handicrafts and similar trades, where individual units cannot justify the capital cost alone.
Freight Subsidy for Exporters
For new MSE exporters holding ZED certification: reimbursement of 1% of FOB value or actual transport freight (excluding government fees and taxes) from the place of manufacture to seaport, air cargo complex or land border, whichever is lower.
Area category | Annual ceiling per unit |
Core Areas | ₹10.00 lakh |
Intermediate and Sub-Prime Areas | ₹15.00 lakh |
Prime / Focus Areas | ₹30.00 lakh |
This directly addresses the structural disadvantage Haryana exporters face against coastal states on inland haulage cost.
Mukhya Mantri Pratham Niryatak Protsahan Yojana
For first-time manufacturing MSME exporters: financial assistance of 33%, up to ₹20.00 lakh per year, for 3 years. It is designed to cover the real cost of winning a first international buyer — documentation, compliance, buyer verification, sampling, packaging and market entry.
PADMA Export Parks Scheme
Dedicated export park infrastructure under the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Model Associated (PADMA) framework, creating export-ready industrial zones with warehousing, testing, certification and logistics facilities located near manufacturing clusters.
Regulatory and ease-of-doing-business measures
MSME Right to Business Act — time-bound exemption from approvals for eligible units
Strengthening of the online single-window platform for time-bound approvals, renewals and clearances (CLU, building plans, fire NOC, CTE, CTO)
State Level Innovation & MSME Council and District Level Facilitation Cells
Haryana Niryat Kendra — a one-stop export facilitation centre
Positioning Haryana as North India's packaging hub
Pillar 3 — Technology, automation, R&D and quality certification
Haryana MSME Automation Scheme
25% of project cost, ranging from ₹50 lakh to ₹1 crore, for adoption of robotics, IoT, machine vision, process automation and Industry 4.0 / smart manufacturing systems. The scheme targets units still running legacy equipment in textiles, auto components and food processing.
Haryana Research and Development Centre Scheme
50% grant for establishing an in-house R&D centre, up to ₹5 crore. The grant is computed on the cost of infrastructure and allied utilities — land, building, plant, machinery, equipment, power backup, hardware and software — and excludes the cost of land acquisition where the policy so provides. The centre must be recognised by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) and must remain operational for the prescribed period.
Adoption of AI Solutions / AI Lab
33% financial assistance for adopting AI-based solutions and for setting up an in-house AI lab, covering predictive maintenance, machine-vision quality control, demand forecasting and data-driven decision making.
Financial Assistance for Purchase of Testing Equipment
50% subsidy, up to ₹25.00 lakh per year, claimable a maximum of 2 times during the policy period, for manufacturing MSEs purchasing in-house testing equipment to move towards zero-defect production.
Assistance for Quality Certification
Type of certification | Reimbursement | Cap | Duration |
Standard quality certifications — ISO, HACCP, BIS, WHO-GMP, ZED, TS, Hallmark or equivalent | 50% of certification cost | ₹10.00 lakh per year | 3 years |
Country-specific international market certifications | 60% of certification cost | ₹20.00 lakh per year | Any 2 years in the policy period |
The second line is the one exporters should read closely. CE marking, FDA registration, REACH, GOTS and similar market-access certifications are frequently the single barrier between an Indian MSME and a European or US buyer.
Other technology measures
Collaboration with IITs, R&D centres, NID and startups for technology transfer and innovation adoption
Establishment of Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in priority areas, offering advanced testing, prototyping, skill development and industry-ready research support
Pillar 4 — Market access, trade fairs and e-commerce exports
Market Development Assistance (MDA) Scheme
For manufacturing micro and small enterprises participating in trade fairs and exhibitions.
Expense | International event | Domestic event |
Participation cost (stall, registration, space, subscription) — 25% reimbursement | Up to ₹5.00 lakh | Up to ₹3.00 lakh |
Airfare and boarding, 2 persons | Up to ₹2.50 lakh | Up to ₹1.50 lakh |
Availment is permitted once per year, up to 3 times during the policy period.
E-Commerce Onboarding Support — 5 years
75% of total platform fees — registration, shipping, subscription and similar charges — reimbursed for five years.
Enterprise | Annual cap | Duration |
Domestic MSEs | ₹1.00 lakh per year | 5 years |
MSE exporters | ₹2.00 lakh per year | 5 years |
This is one of the most accessible incentives in the policy. A small manufacturer listing on Amazon Global Selling, Alibaba or a similar platform can recover most of the first-year cost of going online.
Export Booster Grant
A ₹10 crore Export Booster Grant to support high-impact export promotion interventions, market expansion and buyer-linkage programmes for Haryana MSMEs.
Udaan Dwaar — Virtual Global MSME Portal
A digital growth hub connecting Haryana MSMEs with international buyers, joint-venture partners, technology providers and investors, with matchmaking, verified supplier profiles and collaboration tools.
Other market-access initiatives
Vendor Development Programmes linking MSMEs to large anchor manufacturers and PSU procurement
Reverse Buyer Seller Meets bringing overseas buyers to Haryana clusters
GI products as anchors for Brand Haryana, supporting geographical-indication certified crafts and food products
State-led international roadshows for trade and export promotion, in coordination with DGFT, Export Promotion Councils and industry associations
Digital market linkages — virtual catalogues, buyer discovery and B2B marketplace onboarding support
Pillar 5 — Green manufacturing and sustainability incentives
Global buyers are increasingly making decarbonisation a condition of supply. This pillar funds compliance before it becomes a trade barrier.
Support for Solar Rooftops
Capital investment subsidy for rooftop solar installation with net metering, for new and existing manufacturing MSMEs.
Area category | Subsidy | Maximum |
Core and Intermediate Areas | 30% | ₹25.00 lakh |
Sub-Prime and Prime / Focus Areas | 30% | ₹35.00 lakh |
Assistance for Environmental Compliance (ETP and ZLD)
Facility | Assistance | Maximum | Eligibility |
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) | 25% of total cost (civil works + machinery) | ₹1.00 crore | New and existing MSMEs in Sub-Prime and Prime/Focus Areas |
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) | 25% of total cost | ₹5.00 crore, or ₹5.00 crore per MLD, whichever is lower | All MSMEs |
Promoting Energy Efficiency in MSEs
Support for energy audits and for replacing inefficient motors, boilers, furnaces, compressors and lighting with energy-efficient alternatives. The scheme is aligned with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency framework and the Centre's ADEETIE scheme, so a unit may be able to stack central interest support with state capital assistance — subject to the non-duplication rule below.
Promoting Circular Economy in MSEs
Assistance for waste minimisation, recycling, reuse of process waste, resource recovery and by-product utilisation, including investment in equipment that converts waste streams into inputs.
Haryana Green Investment Fund
A ₹100 crore Haryana Green Investments Fund to finance clean-technology adoption, low-carbon production and green infrastructure in the MSME sector.
Decarbonisation support
Sector-specific decarbonisation and circular-economy programmes for key MSME sectors, including carbon measurement and reporting capability — relevant for units exporting to markets applying carbon border adjustment mechanisms.
Pillar 6 — Employment and skills incentives
Local Employment Generation Subsidy
The policy pays an annual subsidy for each Haryana local employee on the rolls, for 10 years from the date of commencement of commercial production or operations. The amount is linked to the proportion of Haryana local employees in the unit's total workforce in that year.
₹1,00,000 per local employee per year at the base rate
Up to ₹1,20,000 per employee per year for women, Scheduled Caste, Divyangjan, Agniveer and ex-servicemen employees
For a unit employing 50 local workers, this is worth ₹50 lakh a year — often larger over the ten-year horizon than the capital subsidy itself. Local employee status is verified through Parivar Pehchan Patra.
EPF Reimbursement
Reimbursement of the employer's contribution towards EPF for eligible local employees, subject to prescribed monetary limits and to the proportion of local employees maintained. Enhanced support applies where recruitment is routed through the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN) portal.
Industry–Academia Tie-ups
Structured collaboration between MSMEs, ITIs, polytechnics, universities and skill-development institutions, with demand-driven curriculum, on-the-job training, apprenticeships and continuous upskilling, so that trained manpower is available to clusters locally.
"Export Readiness" Capacity Development Programme
Training delivered with DGFT, Export Promotion Councils and industry associations, covering export procedures, documentation, Incoterms, trade finance, compliance, rules of origin, packaging, labelling and risk management — aimed at converting domestic manufacturers into first-time exporters.
Conditions, caps and exclusions you must plan around
These are the rules that most often reduce a claim at the sanction stage.
The overall ceiling
Total incentives for the same project under this policy are capped at 100% of Fixed Capital Investment. You cannot receive more in aggregate state support than you have invested in fixed assets.
No double-dipping
A unit availing an incentive under a scheme in this policy is not eligible for an incentive under any similar scheme or other policy of the State Government for the same component, and vice versa. If you take solar rooftop subsidy here, you cannot take the same component under another Haryana scheme. Central government schemes operate separately, but overlapping components still need to be checked.
What is excluded from Fixed Capital Investment
Pre-operative expenses
Working capital
Goodwill
Expenditure on technology or technical know-how: consultancy charges, royalty, design and drawings, patents, licences and other intellectual property — whether or not capitalised in the books of account
Plant, machinery or equipment transferred from another unit, whether in the same location or elsewhere
Timing rules
Only units commencing commercial production or operations during the operative period of the policy are eligible
Stamp duty refund must be claimed within five years of the date of purchase or lease of the land
Several schemes limit availment to a fixed number of times — testing equipment (2 times), MDA (3 times), cluster plug & play (3 times) — during the policy period
An expansion or diversification must be completed within the prescribed window from commencement
Plots that do not qualify
Plots within Industrial Model Townships and Industrial Estates of HSIIDC, and within private industrial parks or licensed industrial colonies, that had already been allotted as on the date of notification, are treated as allotted plots and attract the lower Intermediate Area rates. Buying an already-allotted plot rather than a fresh one can cost you a full subsidy slab.
Restrictive list — industries not eligible for incentives
The policy carries a negative list. Units in the following categories do not qualify for fiscal incentives:
Tobacco and tobacco products, including cigarettes, gutkha, pan masala and similar products
Manufacture of alcoholic beverages, distilleries and breweries
Industrial units engaged only in mining or quarrying of minerals
Brick kilns and stone crushers
Units manufacturing or dealing in arms, ammunition and explosives
Units engaged in trading, repacking, repair, assembly-only or job-work operations that do not amount to manufacture
Industries prohibited under the Air Act, the Water Act or the Environment (Protection) Act, and units in prohibited or negative-list categories notified by the Haryana State Pollution Control Board
Any enterprise that has availed incentives under another State policy for the same component
The full restrictive list is set out in Annexure-I of the gazette notification and should be checked before you commit capital. Where a sector's eligibility is unclear, the Competent Authority designated under the policy is empowered to decide.
Clawback and compliance
Incentives are released against actual, verified expenditure supported by CA certificates, invoices, bank statements and proof of payment. Units are expected to remain in production for the prescribed period; closure, sale of subsidised assets or diversion of use within that period can trigger recovery of the subsidy with interest.
How to apply for Haryana MSME subsidies in 2026
Step 1 — Get your registrations in order
Registration | Why it matters |
Udyam Registration | Establishes MSME status and category; the base requirement for every scheme |
GST registration | Required for net SGST reimbursement and for most expenditure verification |
IEC (Import Export Code) | Mandatory for all export-linked incentives |
HEPC / single-window registration | Project registration with the Industries & Commerce Department |
Parivar Pehchan Patra of employees | Verification of Haryana local employee status for employment subsidy |
ZED certification | A condition for the export freight subsidy |
Step 2 — Confirm your area category before you buy land
Establish in writing whether the plot falls in a Core, Intermediate, Sub-Prime or Prime/Focus Area, and whether it is allotted or unallotted as on 29 July 2026. This single determination moves the capital subsidy by up to 15 percentage points and the stamp duty refund by up to 70 percentage points.
Step 3 — Apply through the single-window system
Applications are filed through Haryana's online single-window platform, which has been strengthened under this policy for time-bound approvals, renewals and clearances including CLU, building plans, fire NOC, CTE and CTO. District Level Facilitation Cells assist MSMEs with labour, environment, safety, taxation and other regulatory requirements.
The Directorate of MSME, Haryana administers the policy. For export-specific support, the Haryana Niryat Kendra operates as a one-stop export facilitation centre.
Step 4 — Keep claim-ready documentation
Most claims require some combination of:
Chartered Accountant certificate of investment made
Invoices, bank statements and proof of payment for each asset or expense
Term loan sanction letter and bank interest certificate (for interest subsidy)
Audited financial statements and GST returns
DETC certification of B2C / B2B sales proportion (for SGST reimbursement)
Employment records with PPP-verified local employee details and EPF challans
Shipping bills, BRC / e-BRC and FOB value proof (for export incentives)
Certification agency invoices and certificates (for quality certification claims)
Step 5 — Watch for the scheme guidelines
The policy document sets the framework. Scheme-wise operational guidelines notified by the Directorate of MSME govern the detailed eligibility conditions, exclusions, investment timelines, computation method, application windows and documentation. Where a provision is ambiguous, the Competent Authority is empowered to interpret, relax or clarify it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum capital subsidy under the Haryana MSME Policy 2026?
₹4.00 crore, at 30% of eligible capital expenditure, for a thrust-sector manufacturing project located in a Prime / Focus Area. In Core Areas the rate is 15% with a ₹2.00 crore cap.
Is the capital subsidy available to medium enterprises, or only micro units?
Micro, small and medium enterprises are all covered, as are exporters. Under the earlier policy, capital subsidy was largely confined to micro units. Some schemes — interest subsidy, MSE insurance, testing equipment, MDA, CFC — remain restricted to micro and small enterprises.
Does an existing unit qualify, or only new units?
Existing units qualify for expansion and diversification projects under the capital subsidy, and for most other schemes — solar rooftop, ETP/ZLD, quality certification, automation, R&D, insurance — as new or existing manufacturing enterprises, subject to each scheme's conditions.
What replaced the A/B/C/D block classification?
Four area categories: Prime/Focus, Sub-Prime, Intermediate and Core. They are defined by industrial promotion zones, development plan zoning, HSIIDC and private park allotment status, and municipal limits — not by district block.
Can I claim more than one incentive for the same project?
Yes, across different components, subject to the overall ceiling of 100% of Fixed Capital Investment. You cannot claim two incentives for the same component, whether under this policy or another State policy.
How long is the net SGST reimbursement available?
Seven years, at 20% to 70% of net SGST depending on your area category and whether B2C sales within Haryana are at or above 50% of turnover.
What support is available for a first-time exporter?
The Mukhya Mantri Pratham Niryatak Protsahan Yojana provides 33% assistance up to ₹20.00 lakh per year for three years. A first-time exporter can also use the 3% export credit interest subvention, freight subsidy up to ₹30.00 lakh a year, 75% e-commerce platform fee reimbursement up to ₹2.00 lakh a year, and 60% reimbursement of international certification costs up to ₹20.00 lakh a year.
How much is the employment subsidy per worker?
₹1,00,000 per Haryana local employee per year for ten years, rising to up to ₹1,20,000 for women, SC, Divyangjan, Agniveer and ex-servicemen employees.
Which sectors are excluded?
Tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, standalone mining and quarrying, brick kilns and stone crushers, arms and ammunition, pure trading or repacking operations, and industries prohibited under environmental law. The full restrictive list is in Annexure-I of the notification.
When does the policy expire?
Five years from 29 July 2026, that is, up to 28 July 2031, unless extended or superseded.
Does this policy cover large and mega units?
No. Large, Mega and Ultra Mega enterprises are covered by the separately notified Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026. This policy applies to the MSME segment and to exporters.
What to do next
Three decisions carry the most money:
Choose the plot by area category, not only by price. The gap between a Core Area and a Prime/Focus Area is up to ₹2 crore in capital subsidy, 70 percentage points of stamp duty, 40 percentage points of net SGST and ₹20 lakh a year in freight assistance.
Sequence your claims against the 100% FCI ceiling. Map every scheme you intend to use before you file the first claim, so that a smaller incentive does not block a larger one on the same component.
Register for exports early. IEC, ZED and a first certification unlock five separate schemes that domestic-only units cannot touch.
