Punjab’s Investment Boom: 167% Surge After Portal Relaunch, Rs 29,480 Crore Investment Creates 67,672 Jobs (TIN)
Punjab’s Investment Boom: Punjab is witnessing an unprecedented investment wave under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s government, with the state’s industrial landscape undergoing a complete transformation. In the current financial year alone, Punjab has attracted investments worth Rs 29,480 crore, expected to generate 67,672 new jobs. Over the past two and a half years, the Mann government has brought in over Rs 88,000 crore in total investments to the state, marking a significant achievement.
Major companies like Tata Steel Limited have invested Rs 2,600 crore, Sanatan Polycot Private Limited Rs 1,600 crore, and Ambuja Cements Limited have also made substantial commitments in Punjab. Additionally, Infosys has announced an investment of approximately Rs 300 crore to expand its operations in Mohali, which will create 2,500 direct jobs and 210 indirect employment opportunities for Punjabis. These developments reflect Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s forward-thinking policies and industry-friendly environment.
The government has been committed from the start to making Punjab the easiest and most transparent state for industries, and consistent efforts have been made in this direction.
The relaunch of the Investment Promotion Portal has proven to be a game-changing decision by the Mann government. Following the portal’s relaunch, project attraction has increased by a remarkable 167%. Previously, investors had to visit different offices, and files would circulate between departments for months. Now, this portal has become a one-stop solution where investors can obtain all necessary permissions and approvals online from home. This has not only saved time but also increased transparency. Files no longer get stuck, and investors can track their project status in real-time.
The government has implemented a single-window clearance system, where approvals from all departments can be obtained from one place. Additionally, an industrial land bank has been created to help investors find suitable land without hassle. The state government has also introduced tax exemptions, subsidies, and easy licensing procedures. Especially for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), various facilities have been provided so they can start their operations without any obstacles. All these steps reflect the Mann government’s vision of eliminating red tape and accelerating progress.
Under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s leadership, Punjab has attracted over Rs 86,541 crore in investment in just two and a half years, which is a major milestone in the state’s economic journey. This investment is spread across various sectors – manufacturing, IT and software, agriculture-based industries, food processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and tourism. This diversity ensures employment opportunities for youth with different skill sets. Industries are being established not just in cities but also in small towns and villages, reducing migration and increasing local employment opportunities.
Since March 2022, Punjab has received investment proposals worth Rs 1.14 lakh crore, expected to create over 4.5 lakh employment opportunities. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann says that Punjab has now become a preferred destination for global investors, with companies from countries like Japan, America, Germany, and Britain showing interest in investing here. This has been possible because the government has worked honestly, curbed corruption, and assured investors that their money is safe and they will receive all necessary facilities.
The Punjab government has recently formed 24 advisory panels comprising experts from different sectors. These panels are tasked with further promoting industries, creating new policies, and immediately resolving investors’ problems. Such initiatives clearly show that the government is not just making announcements but is working at the ground level. Industrialists and businesspeople have also praised the Mann government, stating that doing business in Punjab has become much easier.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has repeatedly stated that providing employment to Punjab’s youth is his top priority. Therefore, when approving every investment proposal, consideration is given to how many jobs it will create. The Rs 29,480 crore investment in the current financial year will generate 67,672 jobs, bringing hope to thousands of families in Punjab. These jobs are not limited to one city or area but are spread across the entire state, benefiting youth from every district and tehsil.
Experts believe that if Punjab maintains this pace of investment, the state’s economic picture will completely transform in the next two to three years. Punjab will not only become self-reliant in employment but will also establish an important place on the country’s industrial map. The foundation laid by the Mann government is strong. Now, the only need is for this work to continue, policies to be implemented, and investor confidence to remain intact. Punjab’s land is now proving fertile for industries as well.
