01 — Local economy
Business in Haridwar
Two very different economies share Haridwar. Pilgrimage around Har Ki Pauri, the Kumbh Mela and the annual Kanwar Yatra keeps dharamshalas, hotels and markets busy, while BHEL's heavy-electrical plant at Ranipur and the SIDCUL estate's two-wheeler, FMCG, pharmaceutical and Ayurvedic factories drive industry. Ayurvedic and herbal products are a particular speciality of local manufacturers.
Also known as Hardwar.
Where software helps: Ayurvedic and herbal manufacturers source dozens of seasonal herbs, so they need batch formulas, AYUSH licence records, shelf-life tracking and raw-material quality checks tied to every production lot.
