Mumbai, 4 February 2026: On the second day of the Mumbai Investment Roadshow, the Punjab Government, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, strengthened its investment outreach with a clear focus on converting investment proposals into large-scale employment opportunities for the youth of Punjab.
The state government underlined that its goal is not limited to attracting capital alone, but to ensure that every rupee invested in Punjab results in sustainable, skilled and long-term jobs. The outreach forms part of the build-up to the Progressive Punjab Investors’ Summit 2026, which aims to position Punjab as a major hub for industry, innovation and youth-led entrepreneurship.
Focus on MSMEs and Industrial Expansion
During meetings with corporate leaders and financial institutions, the Punjab Government highlighted its strategy to strengthen the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector and help these units scale into large and globally competitive enterprises.
Officials said MSMEs are the backbone of employment generation in Punjab and will remain a key pillar of the state’s industrial growth policy. The government assured investors of policy stability, ease of doing business and strong institutional support.
High-Level Meetings with Industry Leaders
The day began with one-on-one meetings with leading industry groups, where discussions focused on investment opportunities in textiles, automotive manufacturing, farm equipment, defence production and supply-chain integration.
Both new investments and expansion of existing facilities in Punjab were explored. Industry representatives were informed about Punjab’s skilled workforce, strong industrial infrastructure, and business-friendly environment.
