It is the latest move by the Ambani-led group to put down some new roots in Haryana. With the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 being rolled out, they have sealed two pacts for the Reliance MET City in Jhajjar. In all, it’s an Rs 8,646 crore deal to put some heft behind new units and the 33,250-odd positions that are in the offing.
MoUs reshape Reliance MET City’s next phase
According to the company, the first of the MoUs was put in place by Model Economic Township Ltd to get in step with the state’s efforts to draw in capital and put people to work at the MET City.
The other one is a way of rounding up the kind of investments you can expect from firms that have already put down stakes in the township and are now in the thick of building out their operations.
In short, here is what the company is on the record for:
– Total put in: Rs 8,646 crore
– Jobs on the table: 33,250 and up
– An 8,250-acre project
– Two MoUs to mark the occasion
Policy backdrop and why it matters
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini made the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy official on Monday, with an eye on Rs 5 lakh crore in total. You could see the intent to make hard-nosed projects of this when MoUs to the tune of Rs 1.10 lakh crore were signed there and then.
There is a method to Reliance’s two-part MoU: one to set the developer in its place, the other to funnel in money from plot-holders who are moving. It’s how the MET City is set up to be in with a chance for any manufacturing that the policy is doling out incentives for.
Scale, sectors and global footprint
You can’t have a township like this without the land for it. RIL has put together 8,250 acres at Jhajjar for the ‘Reliance MET City’. It is an integrated smart city with 650 companies from as far afield as Japan already in residence.
What we are seeing with these new figures is a range of core and value-chain work – from auto and electronics to defence, medical, footwear and packaging. A good cross-section for a country like India looking to make inroads with global capital.
Company’s view on execution and jobs
“These are not just words,” says Shrivallabh Goyal, the CEO and whole-time director. He sees the policy as a welcome lift for a state that is already a top pick for investors. “We are talking about new factories, more activity, and the kind of employment opportunities that add up.”
Goyal is clear that the MET City will be a part of the state’s growth story for years to come, and that the 33,250-odd jobs are a direct result of how the company is making things happen.
What to track next
The second MoU is for the ones with plots in hand who are now building. How fast they come on stream is what will make or break the Rs 8,646 crore figure in terms of real output and headcount.
Given the Rs 5 lakh crore the policy is after, the way Reliance has laid out its scale and deals means it will be vying for a good chunk of the state’s next round of manufacturing.
