What is GCC Policy 2026?
Notified on 27 May 2026 (Haryana Govt. Gazette Extraordinary No. 81-2026/Ext, notification No. 20/07/2026-4IB-1) for five years.
A Global Capability Centre is a captive centre set up in Haryana by a multinational corporation or its parent, group, subsidiary or affiliate to serve the group's own global operations (R&D, engineering, IT, analytics, finance, procurement, supply chain, legal and similar functions); it must not serve unrelated third-party clients.
Build-operate-transfer, joint-venture and hybrid models qualify where the centre is captive and control rests with the MNC. Only units that start commercial operations after 1 January 2026 and employ at least 100 people on payroll or on contract with ESI/PF within three years are eligible.
The application must be made before operations start; units that started between 1 January 2026 and the notification had to apply within two months of it. Existing GCCs qualify for one expansion at the same location with additional FCI of at least 50% of current FCI (or 25% with at least ₹125 Crore).
CAPEX Support (land excluded), in ten annual instalments: 50% of eligible capital expenditure in non-TOD areas of Gurugram district, 65% in TOD zones of Gurugram and 75% in every other district — capped at ₹3.75 Crore per 100 eligible employees or ₹100 / ₹125 / ₹150 Crore respectively where the office is owned, and ₹2.50 Crore per 100 eligible employees or ₹50 / ₹75 / ₹100 Crore where it is leased, whichever is lower.
Eligible employees are counted at the highest level in the first three years, in blocks of 100 (more than 50 over a block moves the unit to the next block).
OPEX Support: 50% of eligible operating expenditure for five years in non-TOD Gurugram, 65% for seven years in TOD Gurugram and 65% for nine years in other districts, capped at ₹0.75 Crore per 100 eligible employees or ₹15 Crore a year, whichever is lower — covering electricity duty, 75% of lease rent (capped at 6% of the property's valuation), and internet bandwidth and cloud charges from Indian GST-registered providers.
The policy also has the local employment subsidy for ten years, HKRN EPF reimbursement, 50% of intern stipends (up to ₹15,000 a month, 50 interns a year), and for DSIR/CSIR-recognised R&D centres (five centres) 50% of capital cost (up to ₹10 Crore, or ₹25 / ₹50 Crore for Mega / Ultra Mega projects, in five instalments) and 50% of operating cost up to ₹2 Crore a year for five years.
Half of an eligible incentive claim is to be released within 7 working days of the application and the rest within 45 working days.
The same project cannot claim under another Haryana policy, except the Progressive MSME policy for heads not covered here, and total incentives with Central assistance are capped at 100% of FCI.

- After commencement, claim each instalment or year of support with the supporting expenditure records.
- The policy said its schemes and operational guidelines would be notified within three months of notification (by late August 2026).
