Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026: What It Offers and How to Claim It

The Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026, notified on 29 July 2026 (Gazette 114-2026/Ext), is the State's main incentive framework for micro, small and medium manufacturers. Its headline incentive is a capital subsidy of 15–30% of eligible plant, machinery and building cost, up to ₹4 crore, depending on the unit's area category. It replaced the MSME Policy 2019 and HEEP 2020 and runs for five years from notification, or until a new policy or amendment, whichever is earlier. Operational guidelines were promised by 29 October 2026; none had been published when we checked on 20 October 2026.

Re-checked against the notified gazette on 19 October 2026; guideline status checked on 20 October 2026 on the Department of MSME, Haryana policy page.

This guide covers the capital investment subsidy and the rules that decide how much of it a unit can claim. We read the full clauses, not the summary tables: the tables leave out conditions that decide real money. Our scheme page has the full clause-by-clause reference.

How much capital subsidy can I get?

Between 15% and 30% of eligible capital expenditure, capped at ₹2 crore to ₹4 crore, depending on where the unit is located. The Haryana Udyam Vikas Mission Capital Investment Subsidy (clause 4.1.1) applies to new, expansion and diversification projects:

Area category	Subsidy	Maximum
Core	15%	₹2.00 crore
Intermediate	20%	₹2.50 crore
Sub-Prime	25%	₹3.50 crore
Prime / Focus	30%	₹4.00 crore

Two top-ups apply on the base rate:

• +5% for thrust-sector manufacturing MSMEs at least 51% owned by women, SC, Divyang, transgender, ex-servicemen or Agniveer entrepreneurs.
• +10% for an existing exporter (at least 25% of turnover from exports) undertaking an expansion, or for an MSME forming a joint venture with a foreign investor.

The subsidy calculator shows the figure for your project cost.

Which area category is my unit in?

The category is set by the type of location (clause 1(m)), not by block or district:

• Prime / Focus — inside a notified Industrial Investment Promotion Zone.
• Sub-Prime — a conforming industrial zone in a Development Plan; a vacant, never-allotted plot in an HSIIDC estate or a licensed private industrial park; land given an industrial colony licence after the policy was notified; or land outside Controlled Area limits.
• Intermediate — an already-allotted plot in an HSIIDC estate or a licensed private industrial park or colony, or land between municipal and Controlled Area limits.
• Core — land within municipal limits.

The same project can be worth 15% or 30% depending on this single fact, so confirm it before you finalise a site. The Know your zone tool walks through the location types, and the district pages for Hisar, Rohtak, Panipat, Gurugram and Faridabad list local industrial areas.

Who qualifies?

Manufacturing MSMEs and exporters in the nine thrust sectors:

1. Auto, auto components and EV
2. Aerospace and defence
3. General engineering, metal products and steel fabrication
4. Electrical, electronics and scientific instruments
5. Pharmaceuticals and medical devices
6. Rubber and plastic, including toys and sports goods
7. Footwear and leather
8. Renewable energy, circular economy and green industry
9. Textiles and apparel

Agri-based and food-processing units are covered by the separate Agri-Business and Food Processing Policy 2026. Sixteen industry categories on the policy's Restrictive List (Annexure I) are excluded from every incentive. Large, mega and ultra-mega units fall under the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 instead.

What counts as eligible capital expenditure?

It does not include land, captive renewable-energy plants or ZLD equipment (these have their own schemes under the policy), working capital, pre-operative expenses, capitalised interest, technical know-how and IP costs, or plant moved from another unit. Separate those lines in your project cost sheet from day one.

Rules that limit the claim

• No double capital subsidy. A unit that takes this subsidy cannot also claim another capital subsidy for the same component, under this policy or another State policy.
• 100% cap. Total incentives under the policy for the same project cannot exceed 100% of Fixed Capital Investment (clause 3.6).
• Transition from HEEP 2020. A unit can opt for HEEP 2020 instead only if it had made substantial investment in land, building or plant and machinery before 29 July 2026, is eligible under HEEP 2020, and starts commercial production by 29 July 2028 (clause 3.5).

What can I claim besides the capital subsidy?

More than twenty other incentives — an interest subsidy, Net SGST reimbursement, stamp duty refund, an employment subsidy, and export, technology, quality and green incentives. Each is listed on our schemes directory with the clause it comes from. If you plan to combine them, read how scheme stacking works.

How and when do I apply?

The policy itself names no portal or claim form. Clause 3.7 promised operational guidelines within three months, by 29 October 2026, and says an application consistent with the policy is not barred because a scheme is not yet notified. Our scheme page names Invest Haryana (HEPC) as the expected route, but check the guidelines once they are published before you file. Meanwhile:

1. Register on Udyam and keep your GSTIN active.
2. Confirm your area category and thrust-sector fit in writing.
3. Keep clean records of every item of capital expenditure — invoices, payment proofs, installation evidence and dates.
4. Watch the Department of MSME, Haryana policy page and our government updates for the guidelines.
