Chandigarh, March 30- The Haryana Chief Secretary, Sh. Anurag Rastogi, reviewed the progress of the Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) at Hisar, highlighting substantial achievements and the steady advancement of this flagship project aimed at transforming the region into a premier industrial hub in North India.
Strategic Vision and Location Advantage
The project, spread over approximately 2,988 acres (including 1,605 acres in Phase I), is strategically located with connectivity to NH-52 and NH-09 and is in close proximity to the upcoming Hisar Aviation Hub. As per the project vision, the IMC is being developed under the Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC), positioning Hisar as a key node in the national industrial network.
Balanced Industrial Ecosystem Planned
The proposed master plan reflects a well-balanced industrial ecosystem, with around 61% of the land allocated for industrial and logistics activities, supported by green spaces, utilities, and infrastructure. Key sectors identified include aerospace and defence, engineering and fabrication, food processing, garments, and logistics, ensuring diversified and sustainable industrial growth.
Major Milestones Achieved in Project Preparedness
The IMC Hisar project has made notable progress, with 100% land already in possession and key approvals, including clearance from the National Planning Group (NPG), secured. Environmental Clearance for one part of phase 1 has been obtained and the clearance for rest part of the phase 1 is underway. Critical infrastructure works such as construction of the raw water reservoir, canal realignment, and power supply planning are being actively pursued. One high-tension line has already been dismantled, and further works are underway to ensure uninterrupted infrastructure development.
Positive Outlook for Industrial Growth
The Chief Secretary directed the concerned departments to complete the works within prescribed timelines. He emphasized that the IMC Hisar project represents a major step towards strengthening Haryana’s industrial ecosystem. With strong institutional support, strategic planning, and steady execution, the project is poised to attract investment, generate employment, and drive long-term economic growth.
The IMC Hisar is set to emerge as a model industrial township, reinforcing Haryana’s position as a leading destination for manufacturing and infrastructure development in India.
