Notified on 27 May 2026 (Haryana Govt. Gazette Extraordinary No. 81-2026/Ext, notification No. 20/08/2026-4IB-1) for five years. It covers units in IT, IT-enabled services, AI and other emerging technologies as defined by the Government of India or in the policy (indicative lists in Annexures I and II). Rates depend on location rather than the Core/Prime area system. CAPEX Support: 20% of eligible capital expenditure in non-TOD zones of Gurugram district, 25% in TOD (Transit Oriented Development) zones of Gurugram, and 30% in every other district — disbursed in ten annual instalments and capped at ₹1.5 Crore per 100 eligible employees or ₹30 Crore where the office space is owned (₹1.0 Crore per 100 employees or ₹20 Crore where it is leased), whichever is lower. Eligible CAPEX includes building, fit-outs, new machinery, IT hardware and software, stamp duty, EDC (owned buildings only), captive renewable energy of at least 100 kW and green-building certification costs. OPEX Support: 50% of eligible operating expenditure in non-TOD Gurugram, 60% in TOD Gurugram and 70% elsewhere, for five years from commencement, capped at ₹50 Lakh per 100 eligible employees or ₹10 Crore a year, whichever is lower. Eligible employees are those on payroll, or on contract with an ESI/PF number, for at least one year, counted as the maximum over the first three years. Only units that begin operations after the policy was notified are eligible, and the application must be made before operations start. The policy also provides infrastructure-development incentives and special programmes for AI.
