Haryana Government Tenders

Haryana is strategically placed in the National Capital Region and adjoining areas, making it one of the most commercially contested state procurement markets in north India. Industrial area development under HSIIDC, urban infrastructure in Gurugram, Faridabad, and Panchkula, and significant road and expressway construction alongside NHAI contribute to a high-volume, competitive tender environment. Vendors across civil works, industrial construction, IT, and urban services find Haryana a priority market.

Overview

The Finance Department of the Government of Haryana and the State Procurement Cell coordinate procurement policy. Key procuring entities are the Public Works (B&R) Department, Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC), Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA/HRERA), and the Haryana Power Utilities (UHBVN, DHBVN). The eProcurement portal is at https://etenders.hry.nic.in, operated by NIC. Annual state capital spend is estimated above INR 30,000 crore, with significant DMIC and industrial corridor investment channelled through HSIIDC.

Where tenders are published

The Haryana eProcurement portal (https://etenders.hry.nic.in) is mandatory for all tenders above INR 2 lakh. CPPP carries central scheme tenders including NHAI work in Haryana. GeM is heavily used for goods and services by state departments. HSIIDC has its own portal section for industrial plot-related and infrastructure tenders. Power utilities UHBVN and DHBVN publish tenders on their respective websites and on the state eProcurement portal.

What they buy

Haryana's top spend categories:

• Road, expressway, and elevated road construction under PWD (B&R) and HSIDC
• Industrial area infrastructure development including internal roads, drainage, common utilities
• Urban development works: housing, commercial complexes, and social infrastructure under HUDA
• Electricity distribution network works and rural electrification under UHBVN and DHBVN
• Water supply and STP works for Gurugram and Faridabad metropolitan areas under HSVP
• IT services and smart city implementations for Gurugram and Karnal Smart City Missions

MSME and local vendor programs

Haryana applies GoI MSME procurement norms, including 25 percent minimum procurement from MSMEs and EMD exemptions for Udyam-registered units. The state's MSME Department runs a procurement aggregation programme where state entities route eligible goods purchases to registered Haryana MSMEs. HSIIDC maintains a vendor panel for industrial area works where Haryana-registered contractors receive preference for smaller works below INR 5 crore.

How to win state tenders

Register on the Haryana eProcurement portal (https://etenders.hry.nic.in) with Class 3 DSC, PAN, GST registration, and bank account details. HSIIDC portal may require a separate registration for industrial zone tenders.

EMD is generally 2 percent of estimated contract value. Power utility tenders often specify 2.5 percent EMD. Payment is by DD or online through the portal's payment gateway. PBG is 5 percent of contract value due within 15 days of letter of acceptance.

Haryana tenders frequently apply the QCBS (quality and cost-based selection) method for consultancy and some IT tenders, where technical score carries 70 to 80 percent weightage and price only 20 to 30 percent. For such tenders, investing in a strong technical proposal with qualified key personnel CVs and relevant project references is essential.

For HUDA and HSVP urban development tenders, ensure your team includes personnel licensed under the Haryana Practising Engineers and Architects Act. Non-compliance on licensing is a common technical bid rejection ground.

Haryana procurement is significantly impacted by Gurugram and Faridabad metropolitan area growth. Monitor GMDA (Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority) tender releases separately from state PWD tenders. GMDA has become a significant independent procuring entity for the Gurugram region.
