A landmark policy to accelerate enterprise, manufacturing, exports and employment
Chandigarh: Guided by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi and inspired by the national priorities of Atmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India and Viksit Bharat 2047, the Haryana Government, under the leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and the guidance of Hon’ble Industries & Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh, today unveiled the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026, the State’s most ambitious policy framework for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently emphasised that the MSME sector is the backbone of India’s manufacturing and industrial growth, and that when MSMEs grow, India grows. Inspired by this vision, Haryana has placed MSMEs at the centre of its growth strategy, recognising them as the key drivers of investment, innovation, employment and exports.
As Haryana celebrates 60 years of its remarkable development journey, the Government has dedicated 60 transformative initiatives[1] to strengthen the ecosystem of over 14 lakh MSMEs across the State. The policy targets over ₹55,000 crore in manufacturing investments, creation of more than five lakh new jobs, and doubling Haryana’s exports over the next five years, positioning Haryana among India’s most competitive destinations for manufacturing, entrepreneurship and global business.
The Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 translates the Government’s commitments under the Sankalp Patra into action, gives effect to key announcements made in the State Budget 2026–27, advances the vision of Haryana Vision 2047, and promotes convergence with the Government of India’s Raising and Accelerating MSME Performance (RAMP) Programme.
The policy’s 60 transformative initiatives are anchored around six strategic pillars, finance, infrastructure, technology, exports, sustainability and skills, creating a holistic framework to support MSMEs at every stage of their growth. Designed to benefit enterprises across all geographies of Haryana, it provides targeted support to both traditional and high-growth thrust sectors, including automotive and auto components, electric vehicles, aerospace and defence, general engineering, metal products and steel fabrication, electricals, electronics and scientific instruments, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, rubber and plastics (including toys and sports goods), footwear and leather products, renewable energy, circular economy and green industries, textiles and apparel, and agri-based, food processing and allied industries. Recognising Haryana’s strong agrarian foundation and the pivotal role of farmers in the State’s economic growth, the Government has also notified a dedicated policy, the Haryana Agri-Business and Food Processing Policy 2026, to complement the MSME policy framework.
To help MSMEs overcome the initial capital barrier, the policy scales up the successful Capital Investment Subsidy model introduced under the Haryana AatmaNirbhar Textile Policy through the newly launched Haryana Udyam Vikas Mission. For the first time, MSMEs and exporters in identified thrust sectors will be eligible for capital subsidy under a dedicated state-wide programme. It also introduces a comprehensive package of financial incentives, including interest subsidy, stamp duty reimbursement, employment generation support, insurance assistance, and incentives for testing, automation, artificial intelligence and R&D. Further strengthening the MSME financing ecosystem, the policy proposes the establishment of a State Venture Capital Fund and a Sectoral Credit Guarantee Fund to improve access to institutional credit and promote collateral-free lending.
Recognising that world-class infrastructure is critical for MSME competitiveness, the policy places strong emphasis on reducing the cost of doing business through the creation of shared industrial infrastructure. Building on the overwhelming success of the Haryana Cluster Plug & Play Scheme and Haryana MSE Common Facility Centre Scheme, the policy significantly scales up these initiatives to enable MSMEs to access high-quality common infrastructure, advanced machinery, testing and design facilities, and other shared services at affordable costs. By promoting cluster-based development and resource sharing, the policy aims to improve productivity, enhance quality and reduce capital and operating costs, enabling MSMEs to compete more effectively.
The policy introduces one of the country’s most comprehensive MSME export promotion frameworks to transform Haryana into a globally competitive export powerhouse. Recognising that exporting requires far more than financial incentives, the policy adopts an end-to-end approach to build export-ready enterprises by strengthening capabilities, improving market intelligence, expanding access to international buyers and reducing barriers to global trade. Special emphasis has been placed on enabling first-time exporters through the Mukhya Mantri Pratham Niryatak Protsahan Yojana, while exporters across the spectrum will receive support for international quality certifications, export credit, export insurance, freight assistance, registration on e-commerce platforms, and participation in international trade fairs. Together, these initiatives aim to increase the number of exporting MSMEs, diversify export markets and products, and enable Haryana’s enterprises to integrate more deeply into global value chains.
Complementing these financial incentives, the policy establishes a robust institutional ecosystem to connect Haryana’s MSMEs with global markets. The Haryana Niryat Centre will function as a one-stop export facilitation centre, providing end-to-end support on export documentation, regulatory compliance, quality certification, logistics, market intelligence and buyer connect. The flagship Udaan Dwaar platform will serve as a virtual global MSME growth hub, facilitating export matchmaking, joint ventures with international partners, technology partnerships and investor engagement. Reverse Buyer-Seller Meets, state-led international roadshows, digital MSME pavilions and vendor development programmes will further enable direct engagement with global buyers, anchor firms and OEMs, creating sustained market access opportunities and enabling Haryana’s MSMEs to integrate more deeply into domestic and global value chains.
Sustainability is increasingly becoming a key driver of global competitiveness, and the policy accelerates the green transition of Haryana’s MSMEs through targeted support for energy efficiency, cleaner production, renewable energy, circular economy practices and environmental compliance, including the adoption of Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems. A dedicated Green Investment Fund will further catalyse investments in sustainable manufacturing and green innovation, enabling MSMEs to meet evolving global sustainability standards and strengthen their competitiveness in international markets.
Inclusive industrial development remains a key focus of the new policy, with targeted support for women entrepreneurs, Scheduled Castes, Divyangjan, transgender entrepreneurs, ex-servicemen, Agniveers and first-generation exporters. Through cluster-based development, entrepreneurship promotion, skill development and employment-linked incentives, the Government seeks to strengthen MSME ecosystems across the State and ensure that the benefits of industrial growth reach every region and every section of society.
With 60 transformative initiatives dedicated to MSMEs, the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 represents one of the most comprehensive MSME reform programmes undertaken by the State. Together, these initiatives will accelerate investment, strengthen enterprise competitiveness, create quality employment, expand exports and promote sustainable industrialisation, reinforcing Haryana’s position as one of India’s leading destinations for manufacturing, innovation and enterprise in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
