The Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB) is developing one of its kind India International Horticulture Market (IIHM) for fruits, vegetables, flowers and dairy products at Ganaur here in 537.6 acres of land with world class infrastructure.
It plans to develop modern cold stores with technologically advanced grading and packaging machines for storage and packaging of fruits and vegetables.
In this context, it seeks to appoint firms or companies to start the operations on PPP basis.
India International Horticulture Market at Ganaur is a logistic hub designed for receiving long flow of fruits and vegetables from growing areas in order to recompose them and make them available to wholesalers in Delhi/NCR region wholesale markets and ship them to receiving traders in remote consuming areas throughout the country.
In addition, Ganaur has a close proximity to the Azadpur which is a market of National Importance. Around 30 per cent of the total inflow and 28 per cent of the total outflow of Azadpur market passes through this route which is expected to tap by IIHM, Ganaur on its way. Hence, Ganaur is a strategic location for setting up the India International Horticulture Market as the road load factor for Ganaur is very high.
The Azadpur market is handling approximately 42,37,000 MTs in an area of 78 acres, and hence is highly congested. The establishment of IIHM at Ganaur is intended to reduce congestion in Azadpur Market. The identified site of Ganaur project is in vicinity to the major production areas of Haryana like Sonepat, Panipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar, etc. (KNN/ES)
