Summit 2026: Punjab Eyes New Financing Pathways for MSMEs on Mumbai Roadshow Day 2

On the second day of the Mumbai Investment Roadshow, the Punjab government intensified its outreach with a deliberate focus on translating capital inflows into employment opportunities for the state’s youth. The delegation held high-level one-to-one meetings with industrial leaders, including Sanathan Textiles and the Mahindra Group, to explore new investments and the expansion of existing operations in the state.

A key highlight of the day was a strategic roundtable with leading private equity firms and financial institutions, including Baring Private Equity India, JM Financial, and Avendus Wealth Management. The discussions centred on creating financing pathways and providing growth capital to scale Punjab’s Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) into globally competitive large-scale entities.

Furthering its logistical ambitions, the delegation met with UAE-based DP World to discuss developing rail-linked inland terminals and multimodal infrastructure. Interactions were also held with Avenue Supermarts and UPL Limited regarding organised retail, agri-input and some other sectors.

Officials emphasised that the primary objective of these high-level engagements is to drive industrial development and create new employment opportunities for the youth of Punjab ahead of the Progressive Punjab Investors' Summit 2026.
