A quarrying belt is a heavy-haulage economy before it is anything else. Every loader, every crushing plant and every tipper on the road needs repair, spares, tyres, fuel and somewhere to park — and in most Indian stone belts those trades have grown up on unplanned roadside plots. This guide is about siting them properly: what the premises need, what it costs to get wrong, and where a planned plot two kilometres from the Khanak–Tosham belt changes the arithmetic.
The trades, and what each one needs
Four kinds of business live off a quarrying belt without being quarries. Each has a different site requirement, and the mistakes come from treating them as one.
Equipment repair and spares
Crusher-plant and earthmover repair is bay work: a covered floor that can take a loader, a pit or a lift, a gantry or at least the clear height for one, three-phase power for welding and machining, and a secure store for spares that are expensive and small. The yard outside needs to turn a low-loader. What it does not need is a highway frontage; it needs to be reachable from the belt in minutes.
Fleet workshops and tyre service
Tipper and truck workshops are about the yard first and the shed second. A loaded tipper needs room to enter, turn and queue without blocking the road; the workshop bay needs a pit and a hard floor; tyre service and retreading want a dry, covered floor and racking. These are the businesses most often found on the road edge, and the ones that gain most from a gated yard.
Weighbridge, fuel and lubricants
A weighbridge is a civil structure with a long approach on both sides and a cabin; fuel and lubricant distribution is a licensed activity with its own siting rules. Both want a plot on the route the loaded vehicles already take, with the approach geometry designed in rather than improvised.
Fleet bases, stores and site offices
Transport contractors need parking for twenty or fifty vehicles, a wash-down area, a small workshop and an office; quarry operators need bonded stores and offices off the quarry floor. These are land-hungry, building-light uses that benefit from a plot with a wall, a gate and a watchman more than from any specification.
What the site has to do
Across the four trades, five site requirements recur. Check them in this order.
| Requirement | Typical roadside plot | What the trade needs |
|---|---|---|
| Yard and turning | Shared road edge; vehicles queue on the carriageway | Private yard that turns a loaded tipper or a low-loader inside the gate |
| Floor | Earth or thin screed | Hard floor rated for a loader on jacks; pit or lift bay |
| Power | Single-phase or unauthorised connection | Sanctioned three-phase supply, metered, for welding, compressors and machining |
| Access | Open to the road; theft of spares and fuel | Gated entry, wall, CCTV; stores lockable and insured |
| Title and finance | Agricultural land on an informal arrangement | Titled plot in a planned park; the business can be financed, insured and sold |
A gate
Most of what goes wrong for a roadside workshop is not technical. It is a spares store that cannot be insured, a fuel stock that cannot be secured, a yard that is the public road, and a lease that cannot be shown to a bank. A planned plot with a wall and a gate fixes all four before the first machine arrives.
Why a planned park, and why this one
The Khanak and Tosham quarries sit on the Hisar–Tosham road, with Hisar 31 km one way and Bhiwani about 30 km the other. Unity Industrial City is a five-acre planned park at Khanak, roughly two kilometres from the belt: titled plots, sanctioned metered power, internal roads rated for loaded trucks, drainage, a gated entry and CCTV, with sheds built to the trade at 8 m clear height as standard. It is the closest planned industrial land to the quarries and the closest GT Realty park to Hisar.
For the trades above, that means a workshop bay with a pit and a gantry rather than a tarpaulin; a spares store with a counter and a lock; a fleet yard inside a wall; a weighbridge with its approach designed in. Plots start small enough for a single workshop and combine for a fleet base. The Khanak page sets out the offer; the park page has the plan.
Where the policy sits
Repair, fabrication and engineering services are enterprises in their own right under the MSME framework, and a unit at a GT Realty park applies for the Haryana Progressive MSME & Export Promotion Policy 2026 schedule on the basis of its own classification and the land’s category. Our parks are located in areas we expect to qualify for Prime/Focus; the category for a specific plot is confirmed in writing before allotment. Service trades should have a consultant check their classification before counting on any figure. The schedule is here.
Where a quarry-belt business lands
The answer is short: next to the belt, inside a wall. Unity Industrial City at Khanak is two kilometres from the quarries on the road the tippers already use, with Hisar’s suppliers and market 31 km away. Plots are sized to the trade and sheds built to it.
