This study evaluates land suitability for industrial development in the Rohtak and Jhajjar districts of Haryana using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques. The analysis integrates spatial data on key factors, including proximity to transportation networks (highways, railways), existing industrial clusters, and environmentally sensitive zones (forests, canals, and groundwater recharge areas). Buffer zones are applied to define no-development areas, ensuring ecological preservation while optimizing industrial site selection. A weighted overlay analysis is used to put land parcels into five groups based on how suitable they are: Highly Suitable, Suitable, Moderately Suitable, Less Suitable, and Not Suitable. The results show that transport corridors are the best places for industrial growth, while forest reserves and areas that are sensitive to water are not. This study gives policymakers and urban planners in new urban-industrial areas a way to make decisions about how to plan for sustainable industry that balances economic growth with protecting the environment.
