Haryana taps IMT Sohna to link Surat textile firms with NCR apparel market

The Haryana administration announced that the Industrial Model Township (IMT) at Sohna will serve as a logistical bridge for textile and apparel manufacturers from Surat, aiming to streamline their entry into the National Capital Region (NCR) market. Officials said the move is part of a broader strategy to position Haryana as a conduit for inter‑state trade in the garment sector.

Surat, a major hub for garment production in Gujarat, has long sought efficient channels to reach buyers in Delhi and surrounding NCR cities. By establishing a dedicated facility at IMT Sohna, the state hopes to reduce transportation costs, improve supply‑chain coordination, and provide ready‑made infrastructure for warehousing and distribution.

State sources indicated that the initiative could generate significant employment opportunities in both logistics and ancillary services, while also expanding market reach for Gujarat entrepreneurs. The project is expected to attract private investment and foster collaborative ventures between Haryana’s industrial ecosystem and Surat’s textile clusters.

The plan is still in its early implementation phase, with authorities coordinating with Gujarat business groups to map out operational requirements. If successful, the Sohna hub could become a model for similar inter‑state industrial linkages across the country.
