Gurgaon has emerged as the
top destination for investors in Haryana with the city attracting investments
worth Rs 3.5 lakh crore, almost 70 per cent of the total inflows of Rs 5 lakh
crore in the state in FY 2014-15, says an Assocham study.
Gurgaon has also
registered faster implementation of investment projects as almost 95 per cent
of these projects are under different stages of implementation while only about
five per cent of investment projects have remained non starter, said P K Jain,
Chairman, Assocham National Council on MSMEs and D S Rawat, secretary general,
Assocham at a press conference in Gurgaon.
If another futuristic city can be
created on the lines of Gurgaon which is often known as a ‘symbol of rising new
India’, owing to emergence of international commercial hub like Cyber City, it
will help increase Haryana’s revenues by more than three times its current
level, said Rawat.
“Factors like availability
of skilled manpower and proximity to strong consumption markets in north India
have helped Gurgaon evolve as a manufacturing and industrial hub attracting
investments mainly from private sector in information technology (IT),
information technology enabled services (ITeS), mechanical, electrical,
textile, chemical and other sectors”, added Jain.
As of 2012-13, Gurgaon
accounted for over 96 per cent of all automobiles produced in Haryana, 95 per
cent of all swing machines produced and about 96 per cent of all sports goods
produced in the state.
