At present the site is in the possession of Reliance Haryana SEZ Ltd. (RHSL). Since the SEZ project could not fructify in the past five years, the 1383 acres in Gurgaon Garhi Harsaru is being returned to Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) by the Reliance Industries the lead partner in the RHSL. A Government spokesman said that about 400 acres of 1383 acres will be earmarked for the ECC project.

The spokesman said that the ECC project is one of the three early bird initiatives identified under the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project. He said that the ECC project that was conceptualised in consultation with the Union Ministries of Commerce and Industry will be implemented through a special purpose vehicle to be floated jointly by the Government of India and the Haryana Government with a 50-50 share holding. The Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC) and HSIIDC will be partners in the SPV.
