Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has invited entrepreneurs from Punjab to establish and expand their businesses in Haryana. This move underscores the role of industry in driving economic growth and industrialisation. Saini addressed a delegation of Punjab industrialists at his official residence, Sant Kabir Kutir in Chandigarh. He highlighted that industrialists “can play a crucial role in bringing an industrial revolution to the country” while supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making India the world’s third-largest economy by 2029.

Saini stated that Haryana is actively preparing to develop a dedicated Electric Vehicle Park, noting that a significant electric vehicle battery industry is already in place in Gurugram and that the government is accelerating state-wide industrial growth. He pointed to central initiatives such as Make in India and Vocal for Local as important national frameworks that strengthen domestic manufacturing, adding that industrialists deserve credit for their contributions through entrepreneurship and innovation.

The CM highlighted that Haryana has streamlined its industrial ecosystem by introducing a single-window clearance system for permits, improving the ease of doing business. He outlined key state-level support schemes, such as the MSE-CDP and the Mini Cluster Development Scheme, under which projects worth INR 170 crore are underway across 48 MSME clusters, benefitting more than 8,000 enterprises.

Saini referred to his recent visit to Japan, reporting that proposed investments worth INR 5,000 crore have been received, with INR 2,000 crore already under implementation, he said. The CM also confirmed approvals for industrial land use, including specialised markets in Sonipat, a dry fruit market from Amritsar, a wholesale and marble market for Delhi, and a pharma hub in Karnal, reflecting a focused push to enhance Haryana’s industrial landscape, officials added.
