Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann visits Netherlands to attract investments in food processing, logistics, IT, and pharmaceuticals. Focus on bilateral partnerships.
“This vision is simple and clear to make Punjab a preferred destination for global industry by offering stability in policy, speed in decision-making, and a governance system that respects the time and trust of investors,” said Mann in a statement.
The visit assumes significance as the Netherlands is among the largest Foreign Direct Investors in India, with several Dutch companies already having a presence in Punjab.
Notably, the Chief Minister had earlier laid the foundation stone of the De Heus factory at Vividha Industrial Park, Rajpura in October 2023.
Similarly, the Indo-Dutch Centre of Excellence for Potato crop is already functioning successfully in the state, reflecting the growing collaboration between Punjab and the Netherlands. During the visit, Mann will pitch for strategic tie-ups in priority sectors to further boost industrial development.
He will also showcase Punjab as North India’s preferred investment destination by highlighting its strategic location, seamless connectivity to NCR and major ports, strong industrial clusters, uninterrupted quality power supply, skilled workforce and a progressive policy ecosystem.
