CM Mann addressed a large gathering of business leaders; the Chief Minister presented Punjab as a stable, transparent, and future-ready investment destination. He highlighted the state’s strong industrial ecosystem, including a reliable and cost-effective power supply, peaceful labour relations, a skilled and hard-working workforce, and excellent connectivity to major markets, which, according to him, make Punjab one of the most attractive places for global investors. Mann reiterated that his government follows an investor-centric governance model aimed at predictability, efficiency, and full support throughout the business journey.
During the roadshow, the Chief Minister emphasised Punjab’s vision to build technology-driven and innovation-led collaborations with South Korea, particularly across key domains.

He also noted that Invest Punjab has already facilitated on-ground investments worth over INR 1.4 lakh crore. He said that his approach is rooted in partnership, where government and industry work as equal collaborators.
