Chandigarh, Oct. 15 -- Chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday interacted with industrialists in Bengaluru, pitching Punjab as a preferred investment destination. The CM, during his interaction, said that since March 2022, Punjab has received investment proposals worth Rs.1.23 lakh crore, which will generate employment for around 4.7 lakh youth. "Sectors such as food processing, textiles, auto components, hand tools, bicycles, IT, and tourism are positioning Punjab as a role model for other states. Tata's second-largest steel plant in India, after Jamshedpur, is coming up in Ludhiana. Punjab continues to attract investments from developed nations such as Japan, the USA, Germany, the UK, the UAE, Switzerland, France, and Spain," he added. Mann said that the FastTrack Punjab portal offers more than 150 business services eliminating the need for offline applications. CM also invited industrialists for the sixth Progressive Punjab Investors Summit being organised in March next year....
