Major Research and Development Centre to be Established in Manesar
The Chief Minister said that Japanese companies’ confidence in investing in the state has increased significantly, and they are now eager to invest. Under this investment, a state-of-the-art Research and Development (R&D) centre will be established in Manesar. This will be the largest and first of its kind centre in the country, which will not only promote technological innovation but also further strengthen Haryana as an industrial hub.

New Dimension to Japan–Haryana Relations
The Chief Minister said that this is a direct outcome of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed during his visit to Japan in October 2025. Japan’s trust in Haryana’s policies and industrial environment has deepened, which is reflected in this investment.

Special Focus on Ease of Doing Business
