The State has adopted a Cluster approach for the development of the MSMEs by enabling them to achieve economies of scale. Focusing on cluster approach, initiatives under EPP 2015 created a tremendous on-ground impact. Cluster initiatives valued at INR 190 cr. under PPP mode are underway in more than 35 MSME clusters covering 16 districts in the State under the Central and State Government sponsored schemes.

The Haryana Mini Cluster Scheme, under which 25 projects are underway, has been widely applauded and has also earned appreciation from Ministry of MSME, Government of India. Haryana cluster development approach has become a nationwide case study and the Ministry of MSME urged other states to replicate Haryana approach for the development of MSMEs, thereby making Haryana a reference point for other states.
