Over the past six months, the Haryana government inspected 329 factories, shutting down 131 that were found operating in unauthorized zones.
The state administration conducted inspections of 329 industrial units over a six‑month period, identifying 131 that were operating in zones not approved for industrial use.
The closures were a direct result of violations of land‑use regulations and safety norms, prompting the authorities to act swiftly to prevent environmental and public‑health risks.
Industry experts say the move signals a tightening of enforcement and may encourage other firms to seek proper approvals before expanding.
The government has announced plans for further audits and will pursue legal action against any remaining non‑compliant units.
