1170 HARYANA GOVT. GAZ. (EXTRA.), MAR. 9, 2019 (PHGN. 18, 1940 SAKA)
Currently, Haryana has a very prominent access to international airport in Delhi along
with an Integrated Aviation Hub coming up at Hisar. The proposed aviation hub is
expected to be developed over an area of over 3,000 acres with state of the art MRO
services.
Therefore, the State requires creation of efficient logistics network to leverage these
economic opportunities and boost trade competitiveness.
Existing Logistics and Warehouse Ecosystem- Haryana is one of the leading logistics hubs
in the country with a total of 9 inland container depots (ICDs), 3 container freight stations
and 8 private freight terminals. Overall, the state has around 33 functional logistics and
warehousing related units handling approx.10 lakh TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit)
of container traffic. Some of the major ICDs in the state are-
• Garhi Harsaru, Gurugram (critical for automobile and agro processing-
mainly rice exports) handles upto 2,60,000 TEUs per year. It is strategically
located to cover the industrial hubs in Haryana (Gurgaon, Manesar, Faridabad,
Ghaziabad, Hisar, Panipat, Sonepat, Rewari and Dharuhera).
• ICD Piyala, Faridabad handling around 1,50,000 TEUs of container traffic
and strategically located to serve the industrial hubs of Faridabad, Ballabhgarh
and Palwal. It is connected to the Kundli-Manesar- Palwal Expressway and the
Faridabad- Ghaziabad-Noida corridor.
With Haryana’s emergence as a preferred consolidated logistics hub on the lines
Mumbai and Bengaluru along with burgeoning export orientation and industrial sector
growth especially in consumer durables & FMCG segment as the cost for consumer
durables is set to halve (decrease by 25-30%) for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG)
after the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). There is a need for
developing advanced sector focused logistics infrastructure for consumer durables &
FMCG as well as further galvanize the export oriented sectors mainly agro-products
(rice/basmati, automobiles, electric machinery, cotton, fiber and textiles. Additionally,
there are strong prospects for inland container depots (ICDs) in Haryana’s to serve as an
alternative to container inflow/outflow from the neighboring hilly states such as Himachal
Pradesh (given the high cost of transport users).
The state at present, is one of the leading exporters in the nation with the total value of
state exports valued at INR 89,006 Crores during the Year 2017-2018. Therefore in line
with its global orientation towards facilitating exports, the State Government endeavors to
provide the necessary support by way of creating the necessary land bank, technology
ecosystem and logistics facility. The state through its ambitious Haryana Enterprise
Promotion Policy (EPP) 2015, has accorded large focus to developing big ticket logistic
projects in the state, along with a special package of incentives under the Maha Nivesh
Yojana as well supporting the smaller logistic units as ancillaries. The Logistics,
Warehousing and Retail Policy for Haryana 2018 takes ahead the vision and mission of
Haryana’s EPP 2015 and provides incentives for developing supporting ecosystem for
logistics sector in Haryana.
