After providing an overview of SEZs in Haryana, this chapter focuses on the proposed Reliance-Haryana SEZ, a joint venture between the state government and one of India’s leading corporate groups. Notwithstanding localized protests in Gurgaon and Jhajjar districts, opposition to SEZs in Haryana was relatively weak. This chapter examines the reasons for this trajectory, focusing on the recent restructuring of the regional economy and on aspects of state-level politics. Political elites in Haryana are largely from landowning castes, and are relatively well placed to mediate in negotiations between farmers and corporate interests, in stark contrast to many other states. Moreover, state-level policy decisions, such as the provision of floor prices for land and a 33-year annuity for landowners, demonstrate governing elites’ commitment to addressing the underlying motivations for local resistance. The failure of the RHSEZ ultimately to materialize is also analysed.Less
