The domestic roadshow led by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in Gurugram marked a proactive step to position Punjab as a top destination for investment ahead of the Progressive Punjab Investors’ Summit 2026. Mann, accompanied by Industries and Commerce Minister Sanjeev Arora, Chief Secretary KAP Sinha, and officials from Invest Punjab, personally engaged with leading industry figures through one-to-one meetings. Key companies such as Hero Cycles, Ralson India, Amber Enterprises, Uno Minda, GMR Airports, and DEE Development Engineers discussed potential investments spanning sectors like mobility, electronics, tyres, consumer durables, renewable energy, automotive components, and infrastructure.
The delegation also interacted with Pramod Bhasin, founder of Genpact and chairman of Punjab Innovation Mission, to explore innovation-driven investment opportunities. During the evening session themed “Advantage Punjab,” prominent business leaders, including Priya Paul, Kamal Oswal, Anoop Bector, Sandeep Goyal, and Shiv Raj Palta, shared their experiences in the state and endorsed Punjab as a conducive environment for growth and enterprise.
Chief Minister Mann assured the industry that the state would provide transparent governance, world-class infrastructure, and efficient facilitation through Invest Punjab, the unified regulatory body. Chief Secretary Sinha emphasised the progressive governance model being implemented, while Minister Arora highlighted key reforms, including restoring powers to Invest Punjab and forming 24 sectoral committees to streamline investment processes. He underscored that Punjab’s policy-making now places industry at the core, focusing on demand creation, supply facilitation, and employment generation to make the state one of India’s most investor-friendly destinations.
The roadshow concluded with an open house discussion and networking dinner, creating avenues for deeper engagement between the government and business leaders. The next leg of the series is scheduled in New Delhi on September 30, continuing efforts to attract significant investments and showcase Punjab’s evolving economic potential.
