Haryana's MSME Policy Excludes 16 Polluting Industries from Incentives
Haryana's new MSME Export Promotion Policy 2026, notified on August 8, aims to attract Rs 55,000 crore investment and create five lakh jobs over five years, focusing on export hubs like Gurugram and Faridabad. The policy offers capital subsidies, SGST reimbursements, and stamp duty refunds, with incentives varying by zone. It bars 16 categories of polluting and environmentally sensitive industries from incentives, citing pollution, water scarcity, and planning concerns. A third-party inspection mechanism will verify compliance before releasing benefits.
