Haryana Women and Child Development Minister Kavita Jain has announced that Sonipat will be developed as a model town. Urging citizens to participate in the development process of the town, she said Sonipat is near the national capital and carries tremendous potential to be developed as a model town. The state government has already chalked out plans for all-around development of Sonepat, keeping in mind its tremendous potential for employment and business.
The Sonipat-Kundli area is connected with the six-lane NH-1, KMP Expressway and a major railway line. The KMP Expressway, expected to become operational soon, will connect all the highways in the state, bringing about high-speed seamless connectivity for the entire region besides giving further fillip to industrialisation, urbansiation and infrastructure development of the region.
Haryana is also a key constituent of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, which covers nearly 66 per cent of the total area of the state, including the Sonipat region. Under this project initiative, an Investment Region would be set up at Kundli-Sonipat. As a result, the Kundli-Rai area, situated along the NH-1 axis, is set to grow as a highly preferred investment destination with the completion of the KMP Expressway.
The KMP Expressway will connect all the highways in the state once it becomes operational in the next few months. It will also drive the demand for warehousing space, especially in Kundli area. Most of the warehouse supply is, therefore, likely to come up within close range of the KMP expressway. At present, Kundli area has many cold storages in phase I and phase II. The freight complex at Narela will be the closest to the upcoming warehouse facility in Kundli. IFC Narela is being developed to cater to the wholesale market and their warehousing requirements. With the coming of industrial area in Barhi, Rai and IMT Kharkhaudha, the demand for warehousing will go up .
Further, taking into account its strategic location and close proximity to Delhi, the state government is also developing Sonipat-Kundli area as a multi-functional urban complex. The 'Regional Plan 2021' prepared by the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) has identified Sonipat- Kundli Urban Complex as a regional centre in the Central National Capital Region (CNCR). The state government is also considering to allot land to set up a tourism university in the area.
If the prooof of the pudding is in the eating, the evidence on industrial and infrastructure development in Sonepat-Kundli is hard to miss. At the time of formation of the Sonepat district in 1972, there were just 188 industrial units, whereas now the figure is around 3,500. The district today accounts for about 4,000 acres of developed industrial space at Kundli, Rai, Sonipat and Barhi. Sonipat and Kundl-Rai together span an industrial area of about 2,500 acres. The Industrial Estate (IE) in Kundli alone is spread over an area of about 1,000 acres. Among the more prominent names that have set up shop are Jagdamba Exports, NIFTEM, Magppie International, Osram, Action shoes etc.
The process for acquiring about 3,500 acres of land of Bidhal, Joli, Lath and Bhainswal Kalan villages is also underway for setting up an industrial estate in the Gohana region of the district. The Indian Railways has also announced the setting up of a rail coach manufacturing unit in Sonipat, which is expected to come up in the Gohana area of the district. Similarly, a new IMT project has been planned at LaathBidhal-Jauli for which proceedings for acquisition of another 3,300 acres of land have been started.
Then there is the Export Promotion Industrial Park (EPIP), which has been developed over an area of about 107 acres and the Electronics Hardware Technology Park (EHTP) over an area of nearly 100 acres in Kundli. Set up by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC), the EPIP project in Kundli has been earmarked for Export Oriented Units of all kinds, with special emphasis on food processing, leather garments and accessories, electronics, telecommunications, automotives, auto parts, sports goods, handloom and ready-made garments projects.
As a result of these developments, the past few years have seen the region witness tremendous progress on the industrial and infrastructure fronts. Now, with the establishment of the 5,000 acre Rajiv Gandhi education township in Kundli with over 20 big and well-known universities in the campus, and availability of large housing stock, the region has emerged as a cluster of industry, a hub of higher learning, and an urbanised conglomerate, enjoying high-end connectivity right on the outskirts of the national capital. On the basis of the region's great promise and potential, astute observers are already betting Sonepat-Kundli to emerge as an IT hub and the future city of Haryana over the next few years.
