Haryana Subsidies & Incentive Schemes for Industry
Setting up or expanding a business in Haryana comes with more government support than most entrepreneurs realise. Under HEEP-2020, the state offers a wide basket of subsidies, reimbursements, exemptions and concessions designed to lower the cost of doing business, attract fresh investment, generate local jobs and push balanced industrial growth across every district.
Whether you’re a first-time manufacturer, an MSME looking to expand, a rural entrepreneur, a recognised startup, or an exporter, there is very likely a scheme built around your stage of business. This guide walks you through who these schemes are for, the kind of support on offer, and what to keep in mind before you apply. An accompanying presentation breaks down all 13 flagship schemes in detail.
Who Can Benefit:
Haryana’s incentive framework isn’t limited to large industries. It’s built to support:
- New industrial units — starting commercial production in the state
- Expanding units — undertaking eligible expansion, diversification or technology upgrades
- MSMEs — registered via Udyam and the Haryana Udhyam Memorandum (HUM)
- DPIIT-recognised startups, wherever the startup-specific scheme applies
- Rural micro units — operating outside municipal limits
- Exporters and thrust-sector enterprises — including innovation-led businesses
If you fall into any of these categories, chances are the state already has a scheme designed with your business in mind.
The Kind of Support on Offer
The incentives span far more than a single subsidy cheque. Broadly, they fall into seven categories:
- Investment subsidy (Net SGST) — a refund of a share of Net SGST paid, varying by block and subject to a ceiling
- Capital subsidy — support on eligible building, plant and machinery investment
- Interest subsidy — a portion of interest on eligible term loans, for a fixed period
- Employment generation support — per-employee assistance for Haryana-resident workers
- Electricity and power relief — duty exemptions and tariff concessions on industrial power
- Stamp duty and EDC relief — refunds or exemptions on eligible land-related charges
- Quality, patent and export assistance — reimbursement for certification, patents, technology acquisition and exports
