Chandigarh, May 22:- Haryana Chief Minister Mr. Naib Singh Saini said that India and Japan have had a strong strategic and economic partnership for years. Resilient supply chains can be created by working with Japan to create a next generation industrial ecosystem, which will create a smarter, greener and prosperous future.
The Chief Minister said this during his address at the Indo-Japan Conclave held in New Delhi on Friday. Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh was also present at the program.
Mr. Naib Singh Saini invited Japanese investors who reached the conference to partner with Haryana. This partnership will be for innovation, manufacturing, technology, sustainability and future. He said that Japan's advanced technology and cooperation are playing an important role in various major development projects of the country. He said that if the most vibrant and successful model of India-Japan partnership is seen in any state, it is Haryana, where Japanese investment, industrial development and technical cooperation have given a new impetus to development.
Haryana becomes a major hub of Japanese industrial development in India
Chief Minister Shri Naib Singh Saini while addressing the conclave said that today Haryana has become the largest hub of Japanese industries in India. About 394 Japanese industries and more than 600 Japanese commercial establishments are functioning in the state. Not only this, this India-Japan partnership is continuously getting stronger. The Chief Minister, referring to his visit to Japan in October last year, said that during that time he received a very positive response from Japanese companies. During the visit, 9 prestigious Japanese companies assured of investment of about Rs 5 thousand crore in Haryana. This same assurance is making Haryana a "home away from home" for Japanese companies. He said that our trust is not limited to business-to-business or government-to-government relations, but we give more importance to H2H i.e. ‘heart to heart’ relations.
He said that there is a trust-based partnership between India and Japan which is based on shared values ??of trust, discipline, goodwill and respect for tradition, commitment to excellence. In today’s world, trust-based partnership will be the most important.
Haryana becomes first choice of Japanese investors - Chief Minister
The Chief Minister said that it is a matter of thought as to why Japanese companies specifically chose Haryana for investment. He said that the reason for this is not only the geographical location of the state or investment promotion schemes, but Haryana’s understanding and adoption of Japanese work culture. The Chief Minister said that Japanese industries attach special importance to quality, operational stability, disciplined workforce, reliable supply chain and long-term commitment and Haryana has fully met all these criteria.
The Chief Minister said that Haryana has developed its complete industrial system based on these same criteria. Today, not only industrial clusters are visible in areas like Gurugram, Manesar, Sonipat, Bawal and Jhajjar, but a picture of strong industrial integration between India and Japan is visible. He said that Haryana has become not just an investment destination for Japan, but a reliable strategic partner.
The Chief Minister said, Narayangarh will become the new hub of Japanese industrial partnership
The Chief Minister said that Haryana's biggest strength is its world-class connectivity. Almost two-thirds of the state falls in the NCR and every district is connected by national highways. Dedicated freight corridor, Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Rapid Rail, Metro connectivity, Green Field Corridor and Airports are making Haryana an ideal state for global investment. He said that today global competition is not limited to production only, but is based on logistics efficiency, strong supply chain and easy access to markets and Haryana is among the leading states in the country in all these areas. The Chief Minister said that 64 industrial estates, electronic clusters, EV ecosystem, logistics hub, food parks and ultra-modern manufacturing zones are being developed in the state. Also, 10 new IMTs will be set up in the state. He said that the Japanese Industrial Township being developed in Jhajjar and the proposed Japanese cluster in Narayangarh will give a new direction to the India-Japan industrial partnership.
CM invites Japanese investors to invest in Haryana
The Chief Minister invited Japanese investors to expand their business in Haryana, saying that the state has all the necessary facilities and modern infrastructure for investment. He invited investors to invest in the development of residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Haryana manufactures about 50 per cent of cars and 33 per cent of two-wheelers in the country, so Sohna and Kharkhoda IMTs are better options for investment in the automobile sector. He said that Haryana is fast emerging as a logistics hub and the Delhi-NCR region is being developed as a modern logistics network. Investors can invest in areas like dry port, container freight station and multimodal logistics park.
