Chandigarh, October 16, 2025 — Punjab is quickly establishing itself as a preferred destination for domestic and global investors, with over ₹1.23 lakh crore in proposals from 123 companies across sectors such as textiles, food processing, automobiles, IT, and bicycle manufacturing.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, speaking at a meeting with industrialists in Bengaluru, said the state offers stability, a skilled workforce, and world-class infrastructure.
“Investing in Punjab is not just a profitable transaction; it is an opportunity for a long-term partnership,” Mann told the investors, stating government support and seamless power supply for industries.
The state has simplified industrial processes, expedited approvals, and implemented transparent, technology-driven governance under its “Ease of Doing Business” reforms.
Officials said the proposed investments are expected to generate around 4.7 lakh jobs, supporting Mann’s vision of an “Employment-Rich Punjab.”
Mann also invited investors to the “Progressive Punjab Investors Summit” in Mohali in March 2026, which will bring together policymakers, industrialists, and researchers to further promote the state’s industrial potential.
“Punjab’s youth, innovation-driven mindset, and modern outlook make it a dynamic hub for multiple sectors,” Mann added.
“We want investors to see Punjab not just as a land of business, but as a land of trust and development.”
Officials noted that the state has already become a leader in food processing, textiles, auto components, and IT, and that the investment proposals signal a significant boost for industrial growth. “Through strategic planning and government support, Punjab is evolving from an agriculture-based economy into a model of industrial excellence and global competitiveness,” a senior official said.
The surge in investment interest comes amid broader efforts to position Punjab as a stable, investor-friendly state, a move that experts say could accelerate economic growth and attract further foreign and domestic capital in the coming years.
