Haryana notifies policy for industrial clusters on farmland

On Tuesday, the Haryana Town and Country Planning Department revealed plans to build industrial unit clusters and warehouses on farmland. While announcing the policy, the department also outlined in detail the criteria and conditions for potential business owners eager to launch such sectors. The policy allows for the establishment of all kinds of industries from an environmental point of view, including white, green, and orange, apart from the hyper sensitive zones that contain the NCR. Only the white and green industries will be permitted as changes in land use (CLU) for those wishing to establish businesses in hypersensitive areas. In all prospective zones, a newly formed cluster must have at least 10 industries (in the event that no other adjacent businesses already exist). If a cluster of industries already existed before the implementation of this policy and the declaration of regulated areas, any new application from an individual, firm, or group of firms may be taken into consideration if there are at least 10 industrial units in the cluster.
