Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday said that the Global City project to be developed in Gurugram with an investment of Rs 1 lakh crore will generate five lakh employment opportunities after its completion.
He held a meeting with investors at the Global City project site in Gurugram and said that the project, with an investment of over Rs 1 lakh crore, is expected to benefit approximately 16 lakh people. Once completed, it will generate around five lakh employment opportunities.
Spread across 1,000 acres, provision of mixed-use land has been made in this project including dedicated zones for residential, commercial, hospitality, and educational institutions. He further informed that the first phase of the project, being developed as per global standards, will be completed by the end of next year. In the first phase of the project, Rs 940 crore is being spent on an area of 587 acres.
The Chief Minister said that to ensure a reliable water supply for the city, a Mass Balancing Reservoir with a capacity of 350 million litres will be constructed over 18 acres. This reservoir will serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, acting as a major water storage facility while also enhancing the visual appeal of the city.
He said that environmental sustainability is a key component of the project. A green zone spanning 125 acres is proposed to help keep Global City’s temperature lower than that of Gurugram. Highlighting the project’s connectivity, he said Global City will be just 30 minutes from Delhi International Airport, 20 minutes from the railway station/ICD, and only 10 minutes from the heliport and Multimodal Transit Hub. It will also be well-connected to National Highway 48 via NPR, SPR, and CPR.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister interacted with representatives from 14 prominent private groups, including Macrotech (Lodha), DLF, Adani, RMZ, L&T Realty, Signature Global, Eldeco, Hero Realty, Unity Group, Bestech, Prestige Construction, JLL, CBRE, and ASF. These representatives expressed keen interest in the Global city and shared valuable suggestions.
Reviews progress of under-construction Maruti Suzuki plant in Kharkhoda
Presiding over a review meeting on the progress of the under-construction Maruti plant in Kharkhoda, the Chief Minister said that to give a boost to industries, the state government will establish Industrial Model Townships (IMTs) in 10 districts of the state, similar to IMT Kharkhoda. This initiative will help realize the dream of not only 'Make in India' but also 'Make in Haryana', thereby strengthening the state’s economy.
Saini said that to lay a strong foundation for a developed India, the state government is standing with entrepreneurs at every step. Projects like IMT Kharkhoda are taking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Make in India’ and a developed India towards fruition.
He said that the government will issue all types of NOCs within 15 days through a single-window system upon online application by entrepreneurs. If there are any obstacles in the process, the state government will resolve them and ensure the issuance of NOCs within 30 days, he said. Saini said that it is a matter of pride for Haryana that the world’s largest car manufacturing plant is being set up in IMT Kharkhoda. Once completed, this plant will have the capacity to produce 10 lakh cars annually.
He said that to further accelerate the economy, there will be a growing need for power in the future. To meet this demand, the state government is focusing on increasing electricity generation through solar energy, coal-based plants, and nuclear power projects. He added that in the past 10 years, the Prime Minister has paid special attention to road infrastructure, power generation, and systemic reforms, which has significantly boosted industrial growth across the country. We are all witnessing the dream of 'Make in India' turning into reality.
MD, Maruti Suzuki India Limited and CEO, Hisashi Takeuchi, welcomed Chief Minister Saini on his visit to the under-construction Maruti plant in Kharkhoda.
