About Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Haryana
Within the Government of Haryana, the Department of Industries and Commerce is the nodal agency for the state's Startup and Innovation Policy. It works through the Startup Haryana initiative, handling startup registrations, paying out fiscal incentives, and tying together the wider ecosystem, with the state's closeness to Delhi-NCR, especially the Gurugram tech corridor, giving it a natural edge.
As the single-window agency for recognition and incentives, the department reviews applications under the state policy, runs the Startup Haryana portal, and coordinates with DPIIT for national recognition, while drawing on HARTRON and other state agencies for technology infrastructure and digital-governance support. Its incentives include seed funding for recognised startups, reimbursement of patent-filing and quality-certification costs, stamp-duty exemptions, and marketing assistance, all tracked through the portal, alongside conclaves, pitch events, and hackathons aimed at spreading startup activity beyond Gurugram into Faridabad, Karnal, Panipat, and Hisar.
Founders incorporated or willing to incorporate in Haryana, across sectors and stages, stand to benefit, with those in the Gurugram-Delhi NCR belt gaining from the region's concentration of talent, investors, and corporate headquarters, and first-time and student founders reaching the ecosystem through academic incubation partnerships. Operating from Chandigarh, it is online at startupharyana.gov.in.
