With an aim to ensuring higher ease of doing business, the Haryana Government, in this west Indian state, is taking up various initiatives to boost its industry.
The Deputy Commissioners (DC) in the state have been given the authority to provide clearance for projects, having an investment of up to Rs 10 crore or involving change of land use (CLU) up to 1 acre. To facilitate prospective investments in the state, a District-Level Clearance Committee (DLCC) has also been constituted in all the districts, each of which will be headed by the respective DCs as its chairman.

Haryana, having a healthy apparel and textile industry in its cities like Gurgaon, Faridabad, Sonipat, Panipat, earlier ranked 14th in terms of ease of doing business. The state government intends to ensure Haryana figures among the top five states.
The government believes that this initiative will boost growth and expansion of the industry, as upcoming factories will now have less formalities to deal with; especially the small or mid-level units.
The state has set a June 15 deadline for all departments to fulfil their targets, so that the state fares well in achieving a higher ease of doing business ranking.
The state’s Enterprises Promotion Policy, 2015 has also been suitably amended to accommodate the changes the government intends on bringing about.
