Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026: Who It Covers, What It Pays and How to Apply

The Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 is Haryana's incentive policy for big projects: it covers only Large, Mega and Ultra Mega units, starting at ₹125 crore of Fixed Capital Investment (FCI). It pays a capital subsidy of 2.5% to 20% of eligible capital expenditure for fast commencement, plus Net SGST, electricity duty and stamp duty reimbursements, but only if you apply before commercial production starts. If your unit is an MSME, this policy is not for you: you claim under the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 instead.

Is Make in Haryana 2026 for MSMEs?

No. Clause 8.3 says the incentives "shall only be provided to Ultra Mega, Mega and Large units", and that MSME units claim under the separate Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026. The policy itself defines a Medium Enterprise as one with up to ₹125 crore of investment in plant and machinery and up to ₹500 crore of annual turnover, in line with the Government of India thresholds. Anything at or under those limits is an MSME and should read our guide to the Progressive MSME policy.

Which projects qualify as Large, Mega or Ultra Mega?

Size is set by Fixed Capital Investment and, for Mega and Ultra Mega, by the area category of the site (Core, Intermediate, Sub-Prime or Prime/Focus).

Project size	Minimum FCI by area (Core / Intermediate / Sub-Prime / Prime-Focus)	Employment route
Large	Above ₹125 crore in every area	₹50 crore FCI with at least 500 employees for at least one year
Mega	₹700 / ₹600 / ₹500 / ₹400 crore	₹125 crore FCI with at least 1,250 employees
Ultra Mega	₹6,000 / ₹4,500 / ₹3,000 / ₹1,500 crore	—

Eligible activities (clause 8.1) are manufacturing, production, processing and contract manufacturing, plus four service sectors: healthcare, education, tourism and hospitality, and research and development. In tourism and hospitality only 10 hotels, wellness and nature resorts or amusement, theme and water parks with at least ₹125 crore FCI qualify (clause 8.7). Industries on the policy's restrictive list are excluded.

An existing unit can claim for an expansion or diversification if the additional FCI is at least 50% of its current FCI, or at least 25% with a minimum expansion investment of ₹125 crore, or above the Mega or Ultra Mega threshold for its location (clause 8.6).

How much capital subsidy does Make in Haryana pay?

The capital subsidy (clause 13.3.2.1) rewards speed. It is a percentage of Eligible Capital Expenditure (ECE), and the clock starts from the later of the Consent to Establish or the building-plan approval.

Unit and start of production	Core	Intermediate	Sub-Prime	Prime/Focus
Large, within 2 years	5%	10%	15%	20%
Large, within 3 years	2.5%	5%	10%	15%
Mega (standard), within 4 years	5%	10%	15%	20%
Mega (standard), within 5 years	2.5%	5%	10%	15%

The subsidy is paid in ten annual instalments. Units in the 15 thrust sectors listed in clause 13.3.9 (among them agro and food processing, textiles, auto components, EVs, electronics, pharma, toys and renewable energy), or making essential or import-substitution products, can take an extra 5% on the capital subsidy, or use a dedicated sector policy instead. Mega and Ultra Mega units can be offered a customised package by the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Board over and above the standard package, up to 15%, 20%, 25% or 30% of ECE by area, subject to the State's cost-benefit model (clause 13.2).

What else can a large unit claim?

• Net SGST reimbursement (clause 13.3.1): where at least half of intra-State sales are to consumers (B2C), 30%, 50%, 60% or 70% by area; otherwise 20%, 40%, 50% or 60%. Large units get it for 7 years and Mega units (standard package) for 10 years. The Department of Excise and Taxation certifies the B2B/B2C split each year.
• Electricity duty reimbursement (clause 13.3.2.2): 100% for 3, 5, 7 or 10 years (Core to Prime/Focus), only for units that also qualify for the capital subsidy.
• Stamp duty reimbursement (clause 13.3.2.3): 30%, 60%, 75% or 100% of the stamp duty on land, if production starts within five years of buying or leasing it.

Who cannot apply?

• MSMEs (they use the Progressive MSME policy).
• Projects below the Large threshold.
• A project that has availed or applied for incentives under any other Haryana policy (clause 8.8). Agri and food units should compare this policy with the Haryana Agri-Business & Food Processing Policy 2026 before choosing.
• Units that start commercial production before applying (clause 8.4), or outside the policy period (clause 8.2).
• Industries on the restrictive list in the annexure.

How do I apply, step by step?

1. Confirm the size and area category of the project. For the area category, use the Know Your Zone tool and keep the land documents that prove it.
2. Get the Consent to Establish and the building-plan approval on time: the later of the two starts the capital-subsidy clock.
3. Submit the application to the Department of Industries & Commerce before commercial production (clause 8.4). The policy says incentive processing is tracked on the Invest Haryana Single Window portal, but it does not prescribe a form.
4. Track FCI and ECE carefully: investment counts during the policy period, up to one year after production for Large units and three years for Mega and Ultra Mega units (clause 8.5).
5. Claim each instalment or year of support after production starts, with the expenditure, tax and employment records.

The policy (clause 10) said its schemes and operational guidelines would be notified within three months of 26 May 2026. When we checked on 20 October 2026, they had not been published on haryanaindustries.gov.in, investharyana.in or msme.haryana.gov.in. Clause 10 also says an application consistent with the policy is not barred because a scheme has not been notified, so do not wait to file before production.

What documents should I keep ready?

• Detailed Project Report, with the FCI and ECE break-up
• Consent to Establish and building-plan approval
• Land purchase or lease deed, stamp duty receipt, and the CLU permission or estate allotment
• Chartered-accountant certificates of FCI and ECE
• GST registration and returns (a separate GST registration for an expansion unit, where feasible)
• ESI/PF records, if you rely on the employment route to qualify

What are the common mistakes?

• Starting production before applying. Clause 8.4 is strict, and no later claim fixes it.
• Applying under Make in Haryana as an MSME. Clause 8.3 sends MSMEs to the other policy.
• Claiming the same project under two Haryana policies. Clause 8.8 bars it.
• Missing the speed window. The capital subsidy drops to the lower rate if production starts in the third year (the fifth for Mega), for example from 20% to 15% of ECE in a Prime/Focus Area, and disappears after that.
• Counting transferred plant or the wrong expenditure as ECE. Keep land, working capital and pre-operative costs out.

What should I do now?

If your project is above ₹125 crore, fix the area category, file the application before commercial production and keep every approval date on record. If it is smaller, compare the Make in Haryana scheme page with the Progressive MSME policy on our scheme comparison tool, and run the eligibility checker.
