Villages
Sectors
The economy of Dharuhera was mainly agrarian dominated until recently. Dharuhera industrial estate has provided some employment to the local people. Of late, initiated by an industrial estate developed by the state ofHaryana,[1] much of the agricultural land has been developed by real estate developers. As the urbanisation and construction activity extends from Delhi, Dharuhera is now a preferred location for investors in real estate and built properties.
Dharuhera industrial estate is located on both sides of NH48 and has many large manufacturing plants such asHero MotoCorp Ltd. (formerlyHero Honda Motors Ltd.), Jtekt India Ltd. (formerly known as Sona Koyo Steering Systems Ltd.).
Venus Engineers (Opp. Power House) and DELPHI Automotive Systems Pvt. Ltd (a global MNC). Dharuhera also has India’s biggest dairy plantAmul,[5]Carlsberg beer factory,[6] Lumax Industries Ltd., Dharuhera Pharmaceutical Pvt. Ltd.,[7] Rico Auto Industries, Sehgal Paper Mills, East India Synthetics, andIndian Oil Corporation.[1]
Real Estate Developers
Dharuhera is about a 40-minute drive fromGurgaon and 60 minutes fromIndira Gandhi International Airport. Due to its proximity to Gurgaon andNew Delhi, Dharuhera had all the makings of the next big satellite city in the region, with a number of developers running projects here, but it has been deprived by the short sightedness of the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA). The town lacks good public sector healthcare, educational institutes, recreational centres, public spaces, leisure parks, libraries, art galleries, places for performing arts, stadiums, swimming pools, theatres, multiplex (one is coming up at Bestech city), and parking spaces in markets. It even lacks a proper crematorium or burial ground. To be fair to Dharuhera, the town planners in Haryana are generally regarded as incompetent and have done no damage to their reputation as probably the worst town planners in the country. The town lacks adequate drainage facilities and usually the parts near the NH-48 and Bhiwadi are submerged even after the slightest rain, due to planning mistakes. But lack of affordable real estate in National Capital Region has made people overlook these problems and it remains one of the most promising real estates in not only NCR but the whole of India.
The town is named after a local military commander named Dharu, who made a halt with his convoy at this place. Hence the name 'Dharuhera'. The place gained prominence after Hero Honda (Now Hero) started production of motorcycles here. A lot of industries have made it their home since.
