Gurugram, February 24

Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala said the areas of Sohna and Ferozepur Jhirka along the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway were going to become the epicentre of port-to-land connectivity in the coming times. In such a situation, institutions willing to invest in the logistics sector in Haryana could choose this sector as a better option, he added.

The Deputy CM said this during a meeting organised at the PWD Rest House in Gurugram on Friday evening to invite the suggestions from stakeholders of industries and companies in preparing the draft for Haryana’s new logistics, warehousing and retail policy. He said the state had the best environment for the logistics industry, wherein the facility of a single-window system had been provided for the convenience of investors.

“The state government intends to take suggestions from investors in the logistics, warehousing and retail sectors while formulating this policy on the lines of various policies made in the past. It is the effort of the government that the changes made at the Central government level to promote logistics, warehousing and retail sectors will be implemented on priority in Haryana as well. Earlier, the minimum policy of providing 10 acres of land for logistics and warehousing has been changed to 5 acres. At the same time, the road conditions for warehouse roads have been changed from 60 feet to 33 feet,” said Chautala.

Additional Chief Secretary of Industries Department, Anand Mohan Sharan, said the government wanted to make such a policy which takes into account the important suggestions of the stakeholders related to it. Policies made in other states were also discussed in detail in the meeting.
