Metro, Expressways, MNCs — Manesar Is the Next Big Investment Story of NCR

Manesar Set to Become a Strategic Global Manufacturing Hub

Manesar, part of the National Capital Region (NCR) in Haryana, is rapidly emerging as one of India’s premier industrial and manufacturing hubs. Originally developed as the Industrial Model Township (IMT) Manesar by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC), the region now hosts a mix of large multinationals, automotive giants, technology firms, and a thriving MSME ecosystem.

Why Manesar Is a Hotspot for Manufacturing

• Strategic Location: Manesar lies on NH-48 (Delhi–Jaipur Highway) with superb connectivity to Delhi, Gurgaon, IGI Airport, and other NCR centres. 

• Global & National Investment: Major players such as Maruti Suzuki, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI), Mitsubishi, Hero MotoCorp, Jaquar, Toshiba, and others have either established large manufacturing facilities or expanded operations here.

• Integrated Supply Chain: A strong network of MSMEs and ancillary suppliers (over 2,000 registered units) supports automotive and precision manufacturing. 

• Policy Support: Haryana’s investor-friendly policies, industrial estate planning, incentives, and export focus under schemes like Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) have boosted investor confidence.

Major Companies and Industrial Network in Manesar

Manesar’s industrial landscape includes:

• Automotive giants: Maruti Suzuki, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India

• Manufacturers and electronics: Toshiba, Mitsubishi

• Other corporates & suppliers: Hero MotoCorp, Jaquar, Tata Hitachi

• MSMEs & Ancillary Units: Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers supporting global manufacturing lines.

Upcoming and Ongoing Infrastructure Projects

Manesar’s connectivity and facilities are rapidly expanding with multiple major initiatives:

Metro & Rapid Rail Connectivity

• A planned metro extension from Gurgaon towards Manesar is progressing through DPR stages — aimed at linking growth hubs and industrial nodes. 

• The Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (HORC) will connect Manesar with key industrial cities and freight networks, improving logistic flow. 

• The RRTS (Rapid Rail) network extension (Delhi–Gurgaon–Bawal) will further enhance regional connectivity, significantly cutting travel times and supporting industrial labour movement.

Road and Regional Connectivity

• Kundli–Manesar–Palwal (KMP) Expressway and improved access to Dwarka Expressway reduce transit times for freight and employees, linking Manesar to the greater NCR.

• A 5.3-km connecting road between Dwarka Expressway and IMT Manesar has begun construction to strengthen industrial linkage. 

• The Greater Southern Peripheral Road (GSPR) project is being revived to further support connectivity between Gurgaon, Manesar and NH corridors.

Local Civic & Urban Infrastructure

Municipal improvements include approved projects worth ₹132 crore (streetlights, water lines, internal roads, sanitation, and community amenities) across villages and residential areas surrounding Manesar. 

Affordable canteen initiatives for industrial workers (Atal Shramik Kisan Canteens) further support the workforce ecosystem.
 

Future Infra & Economic Outlook

By 2030, Manesar is projected to:

• Become a global industrial export and manufacturing node within India under national infrastructure programs such as DMIC and regional planning schemes.

• Attract foreign and domestic capital — some estimates project cumulative investments exceeding ₹1 lakh crore across sectors.

Manesar’s rise from an industrial estate to an emerging global manufacturing hub reflects strong connectivity, multinational investments, policy support, and rapid infrastructure development. With companies expanding operations and major metro/rail links on the horizon, Manesar is poised for transformative growth by 2030 — both as a manufacturing nerve centre and a high-value real estate destination.
