New Industrial Policy 2026–36
The proposed New Industrial Policy 2026–36 will focus on industries that can generate high economic value while having a lower environmental impact.
The policy is expected to promote investment, innovation, employment and ease of doing business, while attracting Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and other knowledge-based sectors.
Delhi’s Strengths to Support New Industries
The government said Delhi’s skilled workforce, strong Metro network, proximity to the airport and established services sector can help attract new-age businesses and generate quality employment.
Sirsa said industry representatives should be part of the process of shaping Delhi’s next industrial policy.
Industry and Real Estate Stakeholders Join Discussion
The meeting was attended by senior Industries Department officials, DSIDC Managing Director Nazuk Kumar, representatives of NASSCOM and real estate stakeholders.
The government said consultation with industry will help shape a more future-ready industrial ecosystem for Delhi.
New Startup and Export Policies in the Works
Alongside the industrial policy, the government is also working on a new Startup Policy, Delhi Ease of Doing Business Bill 2026 and a new Export Promotion Policy.
These measures are intended to support investment, entrepreneurship, business facilitation and wider economic activity in the capital.
Focus on Clean Industries and Quality Jobs
Sirsa said the government’s focus is not simply on bringing more industries to Delhi. Instead, it wants to attract businesses that are technology-driven, clean and capable of creating high-quality jobs.
He also stressed that future industrial growth must remain aligned with Delhi’s long-term planning and environmental goals.
The proposed industrial push therefore combines land development with a focus on technology, employment, investment and lower environmental impact.
