Haryana CM seeks Japanese investments, promises full support

Seeking Japanese firms' continued preference and investments for the state, he assured them of hassle-free business environment and wholehearted support of his government.
The Chief Minister said that the government would appoint Relationship Managers for Japanese investors who would handhold them through the entire project lifecycle.
The Chief Minister is leading an official and business delegation to Japan and China to invite foreign direct investment to the state.

He said that Haryana offers great opportunities for investment in fields of IT/ITES, agro and food processing, healthcare and medical education, skill development, electronics hardware manufacturing, textile and apparel, defence and aerospace and mass rapid transport.

He said that presence of large multinational companies in Haryana, including Japanese companies like Suzuki, Honda, Panasonic, Aisin, Mitsubishi, Yokohama, Yakult, Musashi, Mitsui, Asahi, YKK, Stanley, Denso, Asti, Kansai, NHK, NTN, Daikin, Showa, Sanden, Koyo, is a testimony to the state's progressive industrial policies and the sound infrastructure facilities available to the industrial entrepreneurs.
