The Delhi Cabinet approved the Delhi Industrial Policy 2026, a 10-year plan, according to reports dated October 14.
It prioritises IT, data centres, healthcare, research, urban logistics and precision manufacturing.
Delhi has limited land for large factories, which shapes the focus on clean and knowledge-based industries.
Incentives include Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 per new hire.
Invest Delhi will help investors.
Rs 1,000 crore is earmarked for the Mukhyamantri Udyamshree Yojana over five years, from 2026-27 to 2030-31, according to Millennium Post and UNI.
The policy offers incentives across 10 sectors, according to the reports.
The sectors named include IT and digital services, global capability centres, data centres, healthcare, research and development, urban logistics, circular economy and precision manufacturing.
The reports differ slightly on the sector list, with one naming waste management where another names circular economy, so the official notification should be checked for exact eligibility.
Support covers capital investment, workspace rent, hiring, research, certification, technology upgrades, energy efficiency and skill development, according to the reports.
An incentive of Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 will be provided for each new hire, according to the same reports.
IT and digital firms can receive up to Rs 10 crore for digital infrastructure, and women-led enterprises up to Rs 12 crore, according to the reports.
Global capability centres can receive up to Rs 50 crore for infrastructure, and women-led ones up to Rs 60 crore, according to the reports.
Healthcare projects can receive capital investment assistance of up to Rs 10 crore in general cases, and hospitals with at least 1,000 beds could qualify for up to Rs 100 crore, according to the reports.
Women-led enterprises get higher incentive ceilings, and employers hiring women will receive enhanced recruitment incentives, according to the reports.
Invest Delhi will function as a dedicated government agency to assist investors and promote investment, according to the reports.
