HSIIDC Industrial Estates of Haryana: 2026-27 Reserve Prices and EMP-2015 Rules

1. At a glance

2. What HSIIDC runs

• Industrial Model Townships (IMTs). Large planned townships: Manesar, Bawal, Rohtak, Faridabad, Kharkhoda and Sohna. Each has its own guide, linked below.
• Industrial Estates (IEs). HSIIDC's Industrial Estates page lists estates such as Udyog Vihar Gurugram, Faridabad, Kundli, Rai, Barhi, Bahadurgarh, Dharuhera, Karnal, Manakpur, Yamunanagar, Sonepat, Panipat, Narnaul, Growth Centre Saha, Roz-Ka-Meo, IIDC Sirsa, Barwala, Ambala, Tohana and Jind. HSIIDC describes an industrial estate as a development of up to 1,500 Acre.
• Estates transferred from HSVP. Industrial sectors first developed by HSVP (formerly HUDA) in Panchkula, Faridabad, Gurugram, Karnal, Panipat, Hisar, Bhiwani, Rewari, Dharuhera, Bahadurgarh and other towns are now managed by HSIIDC and carry their own reserve prices.
• Theme parks and sheds. IT Parks (Panchkula, Manesar, Rai), the Mega Food Park at Rai, sheds at the Barhi Food Park and flatted factories in Faridabad.

HSIIDC also handles plots in estates developed by the state Industries Department. Whatever the estate, the same rule book applies: the Estate Management Procedures, EMP-2015, as amended by HSIIDC's Board.

3. Category A, B and C estates

EMP-2015 groups estates into three categories. The category decides the processing fee, extension fee and transfer fee. It follows the block classification in the Haryana Enterprises and Employment Policy (HEEP) 2020: Block A estates are Category A, Block B are Category B, and Blocks C and D are Category C. EMP-2015 gives this indicative list:

The Industries Department's own estates in Ambala, Gurugram, Bahadurgarh, Panipat, Sonipat and Yamunanagar are Category A, and those in Hisar, Karnal, Kohand, Nelokheri, Palwal and Pinjore are Category B. HSIIDC's Board can revise the list.

4. FY 2026-27 reserve prices: HSIIDC estates

HSIIDC's Land Rates page publishes the rates for 2026-27 under the heading "Recommended Reserve Price for Approval of MD", in rupees per Sq.Mt. We have added a per Sq.Yd. column (rate divided by 1.19599, rounded). In an e-auction this is the floor; the final price is the winning bid.

• Sheds and flatted factories: flatted factories in Faridabad Rs 46 lakh per unit; sheds at the Barhi Food Park Phase III Rs 92 lakh (ground floor) and Rs 80.50 lakh (first floor).
• IT Parks at Manesar and Rai: 15% above the estate's industrial rate for self users and 30% above for developers.
• Pending estates: HSIIDC says the auction for IE Kundli, IMT Bawal, Mega Food Park Rai and I.E. Kalka held from 30 March 2026 had not been finalised, and their reserve prices will be revised once bids are accepted and payments made.

5. FY 2026-27 reserve prices: estates transferred from HSVP

HSIIDC notes that HSVP's own reserve prices for 2023-24 to 2026-27 were not available, so it took HSVP's 2018-19 price and added 10%. Where 2018-19 figures were missing it used 2015-16. For Faridabad's 18 sectors, rates existed for only two sectors and were used as the base for the rest. For Murthal it took the higher of the collector rate and HSIIDC's rate, and Gurugram Pace City uses the rate of HSIIDC's nearby Udyog Vihar Phase VI.

6. Which estate suits which buyer

Each of these has a detailed guide: IMT Manesar, IMT Kharkhoda, IMT Faridabad, IMT Rohtak, IMT Sohna, IMT Bawal, Bahadurgarh, NH-44 Panipat–Karnal, Ambala–Yamunanagar–Panchkula.

7. How HSIIDC allots plots here

1. Watch for the notice. HSIIDC publishes each e-auction for HSIIDC estates on its advertisements page, with plot sizes, reserve price, token money and dates. General-category notices do not list plot numbers.
2. Register and pay the token money. Bidders register online within the advertised window and deposit token money of 5% of the plot cost at reserve price, as Chapter 3 of EMP-2015 requires.
3. Bid. The plot goes to the highest bid above the reserve price, subject to HSIIDC accepting it.
4. Pay and take possession. The payment schedule and possession terms follow the notice and HSIIDC's Estate Management Procedures (EMP-2015, with amendments up to 31.12.2025).
5. Build and start production on time. EMP-2015 sets the period for completing the project and starting business, the extension rules, and when HSIIDC can resume an unused plot.

HSIIDC's own estate pages point buyers to EMP-2015 for the mode of allotment, possession, project completion period, surrender and resumption, leasing and renting, and transfers. Read the version on the HSIIDC EMP page before you bid. Our upcoming HSIIDC guide covers these rules in detail.

8. Allotment rules and payment terms that apply to HSIIDC estates

HSIIDC allots industrial plots under Chapter 3 of its Estate Management Procedures (EMP-2015). The points below are from the version of Chapter 3 published on HSIIDC's Mode of Allotment page (file dated November 2023). Check the advertisement for any later change.

• General category plots go only by e-auction. HSIIDC advertises plot sizes by estate without plot numbers. You register for an estate and plot size, and HSIIDC announces how many plots it will offer at least 48 hours before the auction.
• How the auction runs. Bidding runs from 7.00 am to 9.00 pm. Round 1 runs from 7.00 am to 11.00 am and later rounds last 10 minutes, extended by 10 minutes whenever a bid comes in during the last five minutes. The top bidder in each round gets 10 minutes to choose a plot.
• HSIIDC can reject any bid. The Managing Director may accept or reject any bid, including the highest, before allotment.
• Land should not dominate the project. The value of land should preferably not exceed 60% of the total fixed capital investment, and plant and machinery should be at least 20% of it.
• Mega and FDI projects. Plots of one Acre and above can be offered to mega projects and 100% FDI projects through advertisement; if several applicants want the same land, it goes to auction.
• Service enterprises. Up to 25% of plots in an estate may be earmarked for services that support manufacturing, such as test labs, tool rooms, R&D, weighbridges and vehicle repair.
• No enhancement for new allottees. Plots allotted after EMP-2015 came into force are not charged proportionate enhancement for court-ordered increases in land compensation after the RLA.
• Conveyance deed. You get the conveyance deed after paying the full price and clearing all dues. For NRI or PIO allottees, the money must come from an NRE account or remittances from abroad.

Payment schedule

Interest at 12% a year applies to the balance after the offer of possession, and defaults attract 15% a year, compounded half-yearly. Paying off the outstanding plot cost in a lump sum at any stage earns a 3% rebate on the principal outstanding.

Processing fee (non-refundable, GST included)

9. Offer of possession

Under Chapter 4 of EMP-2015, HSIIDC offers physical possession only after basic infrastructure is ready at the site. For estates planned after 8 March 2017 this means:

• A motorable access road to the plot.
• A water connection at the site for construction and drinking.
• A sewerage disposal network.
• Electrical distribution for construction. Industrial-grade supply is to be available before the first occupation certificate.
• Security in the estate, such as a police post.

A committee including the Estate Manager, an independent director and a representative of the industrial association certifies the infrastructure before possession is offered. The offer letter goes by registered post, speed post or email with the plot's zoning plan. If the plot is encumbered or basic amenities are missing, you can object within 30 days of the offer letter, with evidence.

10. Deadline to build and start production

• Plots: complete the project within three years of the offer of possession (clause 5.1).
• Sheds and flatted factories: two years from the offer of possession, extendable by two more years (clause 5.3).
• Extensions: beyond the first three years, the period is deemed extended year by year for two more years when you pay the extension fee online (clause 5.2). Late payment carries 12% a year interest (clause 5.4).
• Hard stop: no extension beyond the fifth year from allotment or offer of possession, whichever is later. The plot is then liable to resumption with any structure on it, or to a mandatory auction if you choose that (clause 5.5).
• Deemed approval: the Estate Manager must decide an extension request within 30 days. If you get no reply in that time, the extension is deemed granted (clause 5.5).

Extension fee (clause 5.7)

For sheds the fee is charged on the plot area under the shed; for flatted factories on the plinth area.

What counts as a completed project (clause 5.8)

• Minimum construction: 25% of the permissible covered area (PCA) for plots up to one Acre (4,050 Sq.Mt.); 20% for plots above one Acre up to five Acre; 15% above five Acre.
• Production: the unit must have started commercial production after installing plant and machinery worth at least 30% of the value prescribed for the allotment.
• Building rules follow the Haryana Building Code 2017; where EMP-2015 and the Code differ, the Code prevails (clause 5.11).

HSIIDC's Board has also granted one-off relief for older allottees. In November 2024 it allowed allottees of plots allotted on or before 31 December 2020, whose maximum period expired on 31 December 2024, one more year to 31 December 2025, if they had building plans approved or submitted by 30 June 2024 and had started construction by 31 October 2024. The fee was 2% of the current reserve price with an occupation certificate and 4% without one.

11. Selling or transferring an HSIIDC plot

Plots are allotted freehold, but EMP-2015 Chapter 8 says the freehold is restrained by the allotment conditions. Every transfer, first or later, needs HSIIDC's prior written permission.

• First transfer, standard route: the original allottee must have paid the full price including any enhanced cost, executed the conveyance deed, obtained the occupation certificate and completed the project, and have no dues (clause 8.5).
• Exempt transfers: inheritance, a will, transfers within the family, succession on death, and takeover by banks or financial institutions are allowed without these pre-conditions. The transferee must implement the approved project (clause 8.5 ii). Family transfers do not apply to NRI or disability-category allotments.
• NRI and disability-category plots: for allotments made on or after 22 August 2019, these can be transferred only to an NRI or a person with a disability respectively.
• Later transfers: once the project is complete and the transfer fee has been paid on an earlier transfer, a later buyer pays only the processing fee and signs an agreement with HSIIDC (clause 8.6).

Transfer fee (clause 8.7)

GST is extra. For sheds the fee is on the plot area under the shed, and for flatted factories on the plinth area.

Transferring a general-category plot before the project is complete

• The seller must have paid the full price and executed the conveyance deed first. The buyer must finish the project within the original period, or the extended period on payment of the extension fee.
• Transferring without prior permission attracts a penalty equal to the normal transfer fee. Transfer fees carry 12% a year interest from the date of transfer, or from the date of the request where the fee is linked to the current allotment price.
• After a Provisional Transfer Letter, its conditions must be met within 120 days; delay costs 25% of the normal transfer fee.
• If the deal falls through after the transfer fee is paid, HSIIDC refunds it after keeping GST and the processing fee.

12. Leasing out built premises

• You can lease premises built on an industrial plot or shed only after getting the occupation certificate (clause 7.1). Prestigious-category projects can lease after part or full completion.
• An empty plot cannot be leased.
• Besides manufacturing, EMP-2015 allows leasing to support services such as machinery repair, test labs, industrial photography, bulk courier, weighbridges, CAD and design services, R&D, tool rooms, printing and publishing, industrial kitchens, engineering services, vehicle servicing without showrooms, ATMs and equipment rental.
• Leasing to technical training and skill development centres needs HSIIDC's prior written permission (clause 7.2).

13. Surrender, resumption and appeal

Surrendering a plot

Allottees can surrender a plot at any time. HSIIDC refunds the money paid towards the plot's principal and enhanced cost, without interest, after deducting 10% of the plot price (clause 6.1). Read the full clause for how interest already paid is treated.

When HSIIDC can resume a plot

• Non-payment of the plot price, enhanced cost, extension fees, transfer fees, leasing fees, penalties, or maintenance and other charges.
• Not completing the project within the permitted period.
• Breaking any other condition of allotment.

Before resumption the Estate Manager issues a notice giving one month to fix the breach or to authorise HSIIDC to sell the plot by auction (clause 6.2). If the plot is auctioned at the allottee's option, the ex-allottee can receive a premium over the refund amount once the auction buyer has paid in full.

Appeal and restoration

• An appeal against a resumption order passed by the Managing Director lies with the Administrative Secretary of the Industries Department, within 90 days (clause 6.3).
• The Appellate Authority can hear the appellant and may offer re-allotment at the current allotment rate.
• Where a plot was resumed only for unpaid enhanced cost, maintenance or water and sewer charges, it can be restored once the default is cleared. Up to Rs 25 lakh the Estate Manager decides; larger amounts go to more senior officers.
