Haryana Cabinet approves Integrated Industrial Licensing Policy

CHANDIGARH, SEPT 27
 Haryana Cabinet which met under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal here today approved the Integrated Industrial Licensing Policy (IILP) for development of integrated industrial colonies in industrial and agriculture zones. The policy is mainly focused on providing new options to boost the manufacturing in the State and to introduce cluster development. One of the options is “Plug & Play Model” which is to be operated on lease hold basis on a part of such colony. The plug-and-play model is expected to boost manufacturing as the built in spaces already have basic facilities such as electricity and water and eliminates the need for complicated processes like land acquisition, infrastructure development and building construction. The plug-and-play model will help the small and medium enterprises who do not want to go through the whole process of land acquisition and building factories. In a new start-up eco-system where much of the investment is needed for land, the innovator is left with hardly any surplus to invest in technological innovation. These industrial "Plug and Play" zones will considerably reduce the start up investment costs and risks for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The other option is “Cluster Development”. A cluster is defined as a group of enterprises located within an identifiable and as far as practicable, contiguous area, producing same or similar product or services.
          Under the prevailing policy, only plotted development is permitted, whereas, under the new policy, the developer will have option to develop the colony in the shape of integrated complex comprising of industrial apartments/flatted industries with a global FAR equivalent to 1.0 of the industrial component.
          The entire complex will be a gated industrial colony with no internal boundary walls separating different industrial establishments.
          The sale/purchase of the industrial properties will be governed by Haryana Apartment Ownership Act, 1983. In such colonies, no freehold industrial plots will be available. 50% of the industrial component will have to be developed for “Plug & Play Model” and 20% of the FAR will be allocated for Cluster Development. The area norms will remain same as in the prevailing policy i.e. 50/25/15 acres in high/medium/low potential zones. Residential & Commercial component upto 10% and 5% respectively will also be allowed. The residential component of the colony in high potential zone can be developed in accordance with Affordable Housing Policy-2013 and in medium/low potential zone, it can be develop in accordance with Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojna-2016. Minimum 15% area of the colony will be earmarked for organized open parking and minimum 5% area for organized open spaces. Under this policy warehouses/godowns will also be considered as component of industrial use.
          The colonizer will mandatorily provide certain common facilities which include Health Centre or Dispensary 500 square metres, Community Centre 200 square metres, Anganwari-cum-Creche 200 square metres and Skill Development Centre and Common Facilities Centre 2,000 square metres for every 50 acres. The internal circulation roads will be of width not less than 12 meters. The statutory fee & charges will remain same as are applicable under the prevailing policy.
