Gurugram’s 5,000+ Industries: Awaiting Regularisation, Drowning in Delays
Over 5,000 industries in Gurugram operate outside designated industrial zones, despite a Haryana government scheme launched in March 2025 promising regularisation. This poses a significant challenge to the city’s economic engine.
These units, crucial contributors to the city’s revenue and employment, currently lack basic infrastructure. Poor roads, persistent waterlogging, and overflowing sewers plague their daily operations.
The promised regularisation, intended to provide much-needed economic and civic support, remains elusive. Delays continue to hamper these businesses and affect thousands of workers.
This bureaucratic bottleneck not only affects the businesses themselves but also impacts the overall development of Gurugram. The state government needs to expedite the process to unlock the city’s full economic potential and improve the lives of its citizens. The lack of timely action raises concerns about the effectiveness of government schemes and their impact on the ground.
