Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, directed state officials to ensure all major development projects are completed within their stipulated timelines without compromising on quality. Chairing the 14th high-level review meeting of the State PRAGATI Portal (SPP) in Chandigarh, Saini made it unambiguously clear that delays and negligence in project execution would not be tolerated.

Strict Action Against Errant Contractors

The Chief Minister stated that contractors responsible for project delays must be penalised as per applicable rules. More significantly, those who repeatedly fail to meet deadlines or fall short of prescribed quality standards will be barred from receiving new government contracts in the future. The directive signals a tougher accountability framework for infrastructure delivery in the state.

Key Projects Under Review

The meeting reviewed the progress of major infrastructure and energy sector projects valued at over ₹75 crore currently underway across Haryana. Among the projects examined was the Gurugram Global City Project (Phase I), which officials confirmed is progressing smoothly. Tenders for roads connecting the project to Pataudi Road and the Central Peripheral Road (CPR) have been finalised, along with other administrative formalities.

The establishment of Shri Krishna AYUSH University, Kurukshetra was also discussed. Officials informed the Chief Minister that the tender for this project — being executed through the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) — has been issued and a formal agreement has been signed with the contractor.

Progress at EMC Sohna and IMT Sohna

Officials reported that the EMC Sohna project has achieved 77 per cent completion, with roads and basic infrastructure facilities advancing rapidly. The IMT Sohna project stands at 70 per cent completion, with water tower construction and major road works nearing their final stages. Once delivered, both projects are expected to significantly boost industrial activity in the region and improve investor infrastructure.

Coordination Directive Across Departments

Chief Minister Saini directed officials from all departments to work in close coordination and resolve project bottlenecks on a priority basis. The SPP review mechanism, now in its 14th cycle, reflects the state government's attempt to institutionalise accountability in public works delivery — a recurring challenge for large infrastructure programmes across Indian states.

With multiple industrial and urban infrastructure projects at critical junctures, the administration's focus on timely completion could directly influence investment sentiment in Haryana's emerging industrial corridors.
