Hisar IMC Moves Forward with ₹707-Crore Trunk Infrastructure Tender

The Tender Announcement

The tender worth Rs 707 crore has been floated for developing infrastructure in about 2,988 acres near the Maharaja Agrasen airport in Hisar town. The NICDC Haryana Integrated Manufacturing Cluster Hisar Project Limited (NHIMCHPL) has floated this tender for the development of trunk infrastructure at the proposed IMC in Hisar under the Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC).

The project will be executed on an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) basis and cover the design, construction, testing, commissioning and operation and maintenance of the cluster's trunk infrastructure.

Breaking Years of Planning Deadlock

Years after approval, the project remained largely confined to the planning stage. The tender announcement in late June 2026 represents the first concrete action toward physical implementation. The project is the first IMC to take shape, as the required land was made available without any hurdles since it is being developed on government-owned land. Nearly 2,988 acres of encumbrance-free government land has already been transferred by the state government.

Scope and Infrastructure Components

The trunk infrastructure package includes essential utilities required for the cluster's operation. It includes roads, water supply, sewerage, stormwater drainage, etc to be constructed within 30 months of tender award. Additionally, DHBVN will build a 220-kV electric substation with five 33-kV substations for the project.

Broader Project Context

An Industrial Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) has been proposed to be developed in Hisar, Haryana, adjacent to the Hisar Airport under Amritsar Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC). The project is among the 12 IMCs conceptualised by the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC) to create world-class industrial infrastructure and attract large-scale manufacturing investments.

With an investment potential of ₹32,417 crore and a project cost of ₹4,680 crore, it is expected to generate 1.25 lakh jobs.

Strategic Location and Connectivity

The site is located adjacent to the proposed International Airport Hub (IAH) at Hisar along the intersection of NH 9 and NH 52. Hisar is strategically located between Rewari (Western Dedicated Freight Corridor station) and Ambala (Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor station) connected to both stations with feeder rail links.

The IMC will benefit from multi-modal connectivity with air, road and rail initially through the Hisar city Junction in the first phase of its development (2027) and the rail terminal for freight in the airport by 2032 and final phase (2037).

What Comes Next

The successful bidder will have to complete the construction work within 30 months and maintain the infrastructure for five years. The contract also provides for a 60-month defect liability period from the date of issuance of the completion certificate.

Once the trunk infrastructure is completed, the cluster will be ready to attract anchor tenants and manufacturing units across multiple sectors including aerospace, defence, food processing, and specialized engineering.
