Haryana powers up MSME sectors with Rs 170 crore cluster development plan
Gurgaon: Eleven clusters of MSME (micro, small, medium enterprise) are being developed in Haryana at an estimated cost of Rs 169.6 crore, while a subsidy of Rs 20 crore will also be provided by the state govt.
The move is aimed at developing the industry, with the govt setting out to upgrade technology, common facilities and infrastructure.
An official of the industry department said on Monday, "Haryana Cluster Development Scheme for MSMEs (micro, small and medium-sized enterprises) has plans to establish shared facilities like testing centers, training centers and research centers as well."
Haryana's industry and commerce minister Rao Narbir Singh said, "The comprehensive approach towards MSME development reflects the govt's focus on creating a robust industrial ecosystem that can compete effectively in the national and global markets."
Rao said under the scheme, 46 projects worth Rs 158 crore have been approved so far. The minister said the state govt has formed a separate MSME directorate under the startup programme started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to motivate youth towards self-employment. Under this, 90% grant assistance is provided for the mini-cluster development programme.
The minister also highlighted the success of the cluster plug and play scheme, under which 33 projects valued at around Rs 359 crore have been approved.
The govt has allocated Rs 75.98 crore as grant support for these projects.
Rao said the MSME directorate has prepared a framework to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the industries.
When there is a sudden power cut, assistance is duly provided to reduce the loss of production time and reduction in quality. Under this scheme, financial assistance is provided on the capital expenditure.
He said the aim is to establish Haryana as a major investment destination of the country and abroad by preparing new enterprise development and regional schemes and policies.
For this, a new enterprise promotion policy has been formulated to facilitate sustainable development through the governance system, promote entrepreneurship, create employment opportunities, adopt innovation and technology and skill development on a large scale.

Extortion case: BRS MLA Kaushik Reddy arrested at Hyderabad airport, granted bail within hours
HANUMAKONDA: In a dramatic late-night swoop, Warangal police arrested BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad on Friday and whisked him away to Hanumakonda for questioning in an extortion case . However, in a surprising turn, a Kazipet court rejected the police remand plea and granted him bail on a Rs 20,000 personal bond within hours, bringing an end to the 18-hour high drama. The Huzurabad legislator was booked by the Subedari police on a complaint filed by Katta Umadevi, wife of granite businessman Manoj Reddy. In her complaint, lodged on April 21, Umadevi alleged that Kaushik Reddy had been threatening her husband for over 20 days, demanding money from Manoj for running his granite business in Vangapally village in Kamalapur mandal. She alleged that Kaushik Reddy had already extorted Rs 25 lakh and, on April 18, called again demanding Rs 50 lakh. According to the complaint, he threatened to kill Manoj Reddy and his family and used abusive language. Subedari police registered a case under sections 308(2), 308(4), and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The MLA had earlier moved the Telangana high court seeking to quash the FIR. However, the court dismissed his plea on June 16 and vacated the interim protection from arrest, instructing him to cooperate with the investigation. Despite this direction, police claimed that the MLA was evading questioning, which prompted his arrest upon arrival at the airport. After his arrest, Kaushik Reddy was taken to the Subedari police station and later to MGM Hospital for a mandatory medical check-up before being produced in Kazipet railway court. His arrest sparked protests from BRS workers. Former minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao and ex-chief whip Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar arrived at the police station, demanding to meet the MLA. Party workers also attempted to burn an effigy of chief minister A Revanth Reddy outside the station, prompting police to detain several of them and shift them to Madikonda police station. Police will continue their investigation into the extortion charges, sources said.
