Chandigarh (Balwinder Singh): The ambitious Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) Hisar project is moving toward its next phase of development following a high-level review by Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi. During a meeting held in Chandigarh on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, the Chief Secretary directed various departments to expedite critical decisions and ensure seamless coordination for the timely execution of this industrial hub. He emphasized that the project is a cornerstone of the state’s strategy to bolster industrial capacity, attract global investment, and generate large-scale employment opportunities.
Spanning 1,605 acres, IMC Hisar is being developed as a key component of the Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC). Additional Chief Secretary of Civil Aviation, G. Anupama, informed the committee that work is progressing simultaneously on infrastructure development, master planning, and regulatory approvals. A significant portion of the designated area has already secured environmental clearance, while the remaining sanctions are reportedly in the final stages of processing. The cluster is strategically designed to transform Hisar into a modern manufacturing powerhouse, leveraging its proximity to the upcoming aviation hub.
The meeting saw participation from senior officials representing the departments of Civil Aviation, Irrigation and Water Resources, and power distribution companies. The Chief Secretary reiterated that the government’s focus remains on creating a world-class manufacturing ecosystem that can support diverse industrial sectors. By integrating advanced infrastructure with logistical connectivity, the IMC Hisar project aims to position Haryana as a preferred destination for high-value manufacturing investments in North India.
