With a view to preparing a comprehensive database of all industrial units established in Haryana and currently in operation, the State Government has decided to undertake a new survey of industrial units including micro-, small, medium and large enterprises (MSME).

The Industries and Commerce Department had been maintaining the database of industrial units established in the State, but it had become outdated with the change of definitions of various categories of industrial units during last 15 years, dispensing with the compulsory registration of industrial units and some industrial units having been closed down.

“In view of the changed nomenclature and definitions of enterprises, as under the MSME Development Act, 2006, a fresh survey of enterprises in the State has become necessary,” a spokesman of the Department said here on Monday.

He said that keeping in view that credible database was of utmost importance for taking informed policy initiatives and undertaking other promotional interventions, the Department intended to engage services of a competent professional agency, consulting organisation, company or firm for undertaking a new survey of industrial units in the State.
