HSIIDC to Take Over Maintenance of Public Amenities in IMT Manesar Sectors 1–8

What Was Decided

After years of prolonged wait, the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) is set to take over the maintenance of public amenities in Sectors 1 to 8 of IMT Manesar. The decision follows a formal agreement between the MCM and HSIIDC.

All amenities, including sewerage, water supply, roads, street lights and the green belt, will now be managed by HSIIDC. This shifts day-to-day civic upkeep of the oldest, most built-up part of the industrial township away from the municipal corporation and back to the industrial development agency that originally built it.

Who Made the Decision

A recent meeting to finalise the arrangements was chaired by MCM Commissioner Ayush Sinha, with HSIIDC AGM Rajiv Goyal, Estate Officer Raj Kumar Jindal and other MCM officials present. Explaining the rationale, the Commissioner said it's for the betterment of the biggest industrial area in Gurugram, with the objective of clearly dividing responsibilities and bringing transparency to maintenance work, ensuring that development doesn't suffer between duty jurisdictions.

Operative Details: Enforcement and Hotspots

During the meeting, it was decided that both departments would take joint action against illegally parked street vendors in the IMT area, and against those who dump garbage illegally in the HSIIDC area.

Four garbage hotspots have been identified near Hayatpur village in Sector 92, Sector 6, near Greenberg Society in Sector 81, and near Shikohpur village in Sector 79. Boundary walls will be built at these spots and guards deployed to prevent illegal dumping, MCM officials said.

Jurisdictional Background

MCM's jurisdiction was officially established by the state government on December 24, 2020, and includes 30 villages around Manesar and newly developed sectors within these villages. Subsequently, on December 16, 2022, the Haryana Government amended the boundaries of the MCM and MCG, defining the Dwarka Expressway as the dividing line between the two corporations, both of which fall within the Gurugram district. New sectors added to MCM's jurisdiction at that time include Sectors 83, 84, 88 and 88A. This overlapping history of a municipal corporation running civic services alongside HSIIDC, the original industrial estate developer, is the background against which the Sectors 1–8 maintenance handover has been negotiated.

Practical Effect

For businesses and residents in Sectors 1–8 of IMT Manesar, the handover means a single agency — HSIIDC — becomes the point of contact for sewerage, water supply, road repair, street lighting and green-belt upkeep, rather than these being split or contested between HSIIDC and MCM. The joint enforcement plan on street vendors and garbage dumping, backed by physical boundary walls and guards at four named hotspots, is intended to address specific, recurring problem sites rather than the sectors generally.

The record does not specify a formal transfer date, a maintenance budget, or a signed memorandum reference number; these were not disclosed in the reporting available as of this write-up.

Where This Fits: IMT Manesar, MCM and the Panchgram/Manesar Global City Plans

IMT Manesar is the industrial estate HSIIDC has developed in phases since the early 2000s, now sitting inside the jurisdiction of the Municipal Corporation Manesar, formed in December 2020. Separately, Haryana's wider Panchgram programme — under which a first greenfield city has at times been referred to as 'Manesar Global City' — proposes five new townships along the Kundli–Manesar–Palwal (KMP) Expressway. The Haryana Cabinet in 2018 accorded approval to the Panchgram Development Bill for developing five new cities over an area of 50,000 hectares on both sides of the KMP expressway. More recent planning documents describe a larger canvas: a key component of the plan is the development of five new greenfield cities, collectively called Panchgrams, along the KMP corridor, with Haryana proposing industrial townships and urban settlements spread over nearly 2.5 lakh hectares, extending 2-6 km on either side of the expressway. A dedicated Panchgram Development Authority is proposed to oversee the project. The IMT Manesar maintenance handover is a local civic-administration decision within existing Manesar; it is distinct from, though geographically adjacent to, the still-evolving Panchgram/Manesar Global City greenfield township plans, which as of mid-2026 remain at the planning and draft-regional-plan stage rather than under construction.
