It grew steadily over the next decade, with growing religious tourism in the Haridwar city, and experienced a major spurt in growth, when District Administrative buildings came up near by, after of Haridwar district was constituted in 1998. Thereafter, with the establishment [[SIDCUL]] Integrated Industrial Estate in 2002, Shivalik Nagar experienced a [[realty]] boom.<ref>{{cite news |title=Religious tourism: Spirituality propels Haridwar realty boom|publisher=[[The Economic Times|Economic Times]] |date= 15 June 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Major traffic jams on Somwati Amavasya: 20 lakh devotees take dip in Haridwar and Rishikesh|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2009/20090623/dun.htm |work=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]] |date= 23 June 2009 }}</ref>
