Haryana CM interacts with Delhi wholesale traders, assures world-class market in Haryana
New Delhi, June 29
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday held an interaction with wholesale traders from various markets of Delhi at Haryana Bhawan in Delhi. He said that a world-class commercial market would be established in Haryana with the best possible infrastructure facilities.
He invited traders to invest in Haryana in large numbers. Representatives from 26 trade associations, including electronics, marble, dry fruits, and iron markets, interacted with the Chief Minister and shared their suggestions, a release said.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said it was his privilege to be among people who keep the nation's economic system moving. Whether it is farmers or industrialists, it is the trading community that ensures products reach every corner of the country. He congratulated and extended his best wishes to all traders for their invaluable contribution.
The Chief Minister said that, considering the congestion and space constraints in Delhi's markets, the Haryana Government has decided to develop a large commercial market and a complete industrial ecosystem in areas adjoining Delhi. This will provide traders with a spacious and well-equipped business environment.
He informed that traders from the dry fruit market in Amritsar have already acquired around 280 plots, paving the way for the establishment of a major dry fruit market in Haryana. Similarly, traders from Ludhiana have purchased around 180 plots.
The new market will have a distinct world-class identity and will play a significant role in realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a Viksit Bharat. It will be developed with wide roads and modern infrastructure, keeping the next 50 years in mind, ensuring hassle-free movement. It will be a green and pollution-free market where families can also visit and spend time.
Saini said that a proposal has been prepared to develop a "Namo City" over approximately 5,000 acres, offering state-of-the-art facilities for traders as well as the general public.
He said that traders and entrepreneurs not only conduct business but also create employment, provide services, and build trust in society. A single trader often provides employment to hundreds of people--they are not job seekers but job creators.
The Chief Minister added that the government is providing customised incentive packages, employment-linked incentives, single-window clearance, and time-bound approvals for major investors. The government's objective is to ensure that every investor feels fully supported by the Haryana Government.
He said that Maruti's large manufacturing plant near Rai is now ready and will produce nearly one million vehicles annually. Besides this, an IMT and Electric Vehicle Zone are being developed at Kharkhoda. In addition, construction of a major horticulture market over 600 acres is progressing rapidly, which will be connected to Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir.
He assured traders that the Haryana Government would ensure they face no difficulties and that the doors of the Chief Minister's office would always remain open for addressing their concerns.
Haryana Industries Minister Rao Narbir said that Delhi's markets are facing severe congestion. The Haryana Government is developing dedicated industrial clusters to provide traders with better facilities. He assured that traders investing in Haryana would receive all the facilities they expect.
He highlighted Haryana's strong law and order situation, excellent road connectivity, and the fact that 14 districts of the state fall within the NCR region. Haryana, he said, offers an ideal environment for both trade and traders. He also appealed to traders to invest in the state in large numbers.

Interesting development. As someone who works in supply chain, I can see how moving wholesale markets to Haryana could reduce costs and improve efficiency. But what about the small traders who might struggle to relocate? The government needs to provide affordable plots and financing options, not just fancy promises.
Haryana CM is definitely on a growth track. The way he's talking about Namo City and IMTs shows vision. But I'm skeptical about 'world-class' claims—we've heard that before. Let's see if they actually build proper roads and don't let corruption eat up funds. Bhai, execution is key! 🙏
As an economist, I appreciate the focus on industrial clusters and job creation. Maruti's plant near Rai is a great example. But I worry about the environmental impact—5,000 acres for Namo City sounds massive. Hope they include proper green buffers and water management. Sustainability shouldn't be an afterthought.
Finally, some concrete steps to decongest Delhi! 😌 The dry fruit market from Amritsar buying 280 plots shows confidence. But what about the farmers and small vendors who might get displaced in the process? Need to ensure inclusive growth, not just big traders. Haryana's law and order is good, but land acquisition can be tricky.
Loved the bit about families being able to visit the market! 🛍️ Indian markets are often chaotic and not family-friendly. A green, pollution-free space sounds ideal. But please don't make it just another concrete jungle. Include parks, seating areas, and clean washrooms. Also, ensure good public
