In a significant move to attract foreign investment, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini held a crucial meeting with the Managing Director of Japan’s Mizuho Bank. The discussion, which took place in Chandigarh, focused on potential collaborations and investment opportunities in the state.
Haryana has been positioning itself as a prime destination for international businesses, leveraging its strategic location and robust infrastructure. CM Saini highlighted the state’s proactive policies, including single-window clearances and incentives for investors in sectors like manufacturing, IT, and renewable energy.
The MD of Mizuho Bank expressed keen interest in exploring partnerships, particularly in financing large-scale infrastructure projects and supporting Japanese firms looking to expand in India. Mizuho Bank, one of Japan’s largest financial institutions, has a growing presence in the Indian market and is known for its expertise in project finance and corporate banking.
This meeting underscores Haryana’s aggressive push to strengthen ties with Japan, building on existing successful collaborations such as the Japan Industrial Township in Manesar. Officials revealed that several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) could be signed in the coming months, paving the way for substantial investments.
Industry experts view this development positively, noting that Japanese investments could bring advanced technology, job creation, and skill development to Haryana. With the state government aiming for a $1 trillion economy, such high-level engagements are critical to achieving long-term growth objectives.
CM Saini reiterated the government’s commitment to creating a business-friendly ecosystem, assuring the delegation of full support and policy stability. The meeting concluded on an optimistic note, with both sides agreeing to form working groups to fast-track ongoing discussions.
