Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced the development of a Metal and General Park at Manakpur village in Yamunanagar district to promote Jagadhri's metal industry. The announcement came during an interaction with industry representatives on Saturday evening.
Park Details and Plot Expansion
The Chief Minister stated that the government had committed in its Sankalp Patra to prepare a master plan for reviving Jagadhri’s metal industry by providing subsidies for industrial infrastructure. The layout plan for the Metal and General Park has been revised to create more than 900 plots of 250, 312, and 450 square metres for the metal industry. Earlier, only 204 plots of 450 square metres and above were available.
“A Metal and General Park is being developed at Manakpur. The layout plan has been revised to create more than 900 plots... The Industries Department is also working on a separate incentive and subsidy package for the metal industry,” said CM Saini.
Plywood Industry and Global Outlook
Later, while interacting with representatives of the plywood industry at a hotel in Jagadhri, the Chief Minister emphasized the government’s vision to establish Haryana’s industries on the global stage. “Yamunanagar is not only the plywood capital of Haryana but also of India. The state’s total industrial output has reached Rs 11.08 lakh crore in 2023–24 financial year,” he said.
CM Saini highlighted the strong participation of Haryana’s plywood industry representatives in the 49th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair in Tanzania in July 2025 as an example of their global outlook.
Land on Lease Policy and New MSME Policy
To address the issue of expensive industrial land, the government introduced the Land on Lease Policy, under which industrial plots will be available on long-term lease with the option of conversion to freehold when needed. The Chief Minister also announced that the government is bringing a new MSME Policy to take the MSME and export sectors to new heights. The policy is currently awaiting Cabinet approval, but its draft contains several important proposals designed to benefit industry.
Presentations and Attendees
During the programme, Yamunanagar MLA Ghanshyam Dass Arora and MSME Joint Director VP Singh Ahluwalia gave a presentation on the state's industrial sector. Raman Saluja, State President of Laghu Udyog Bharti, shared information on the engineering industry, while Arkinder Pal Singh Bhatti spoke about the metal industry. Haryana Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana, former Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar, BJP district president Rajesh Sapra, Mayor Suman Bahmani, former Mayor Madan Chauhan, and other dignitaries were also present.
