It will also not be treated as supply of services.
The Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Areas Outside Municipal Area (Special Provisions) Amendment Act, 2025 was passed. It amends the 2021 Act. The original Act was enacted to provide necessary services in areas outside municipal limits that lacked civic amenities and infrastructure. The objective was to improve the living standards of residents in such areas. A total of 684 unauthorized residential colonies were considered for regularization.
Government also intends to focus on unauthorized industrial establishments
In his Budget Speech, the Chief Minister had announced the regularization of unauthorized industrial colonies, noting that in the last ten years around 2,145 unauthorized residential colonies had already been regularized. He emphasized that similar attention is now required for unauthorized industrial colonies. A decision was made. If at least 50 entrepreneurs apply collectively on a portal, and their units are located on a minimum of 10 acres of contiguous land, then those industrial units shall be deemed valid. This validity holds until the government makes a final decision on the group’s application.
In line with this budget announcement, the Government also intends to focus on unauthorized industrial establishments developed in the State. The goal is to provide these establishments with basic civic amenities. It also aims to enhance infrastructure. The primary objective of the State Government is to ensure a healthy environment by providing minimum basic infrastructure in such areas. The Haryana Management of Civic Amenities and Infrastructure Deficient Areas Outside Municipal Area (Special Provisions) Amendment Act, 2025 is now a law. This legislative step has been enacted. This act corresponds with the stated objectives.
