Chandigarh: On the third day of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s Singapore visit, an important Round Table Conference was organised under the Singapore Business Forum. On the occasion, the Chief Minister held detailed discussions on investment opportunities across various sectors with representatives of more than a dozen Singaporean companies, office-bearers of the Singapore Business Federation, industry representatives, investors and business leaders.
The Chief Minister made it clear that Haryana aims to increase investment in sectors such as semiconductors, green energy, warehousing and infrastructure with the cooperation of Singaporean companies. He said that, besides Gurugram, the state government aims to develop cities such as Panchkula, Karnal, Hisar, Sonipat and Rohtak as the next growth centres for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and technology-led businesses.
Addressing the Round Table Conference, the Chief Minister said that although Singapore and Haryana are geographically distinct, their thinking and priorities are closely aligned. Singapore is a hub of innovation, efficiency and global connectivity, while Haryana possesses strengths in enterprise, manufacturing and market access. The convergence of these capabilities can take the economic partnership to new heights.
He recalled that Singaporean companies have established a strong presence in India in technology, infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics and financial services. The objective now is to take this strong relationship forward in Haryana and North India with new investment opportunities, technology partnerships and shared growth.
Highlighting Haryana’s distinct advantages in manufacturing and logistics, the Chief Minister said that the state is located at the heart of the Delhi-NCR region and enjoys excellent connectivity with major markets across the country. It has a strong network of industrial estates, expressways, highways, dedicated freight connectivity and modern logistics infrastructure.
