In the run-up to the third edition of the Progressive Punjab Investors' Summit, slated to be held on December 5 and 6 in Mohali, the state government on Thursday organised pre-summit interactions in Ludhiana.
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is the institutional partner to the Punjab government for organising the summit.
The pre-summit interaction focused on apprising the business community based out of Ludhiana of the pro-industry initiatives taken by the state over the past two years to propel industrial growth, an official statement said.
Speaking on the occasion, Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal said ever-since the Chief Minister Amarinder Singh-led government came to power in the state, various companies have invested more than Rs 50,000 crore in Punjab.
He said, "Punjab is open to investments particularly in sectors, including food and food processing, pharmaceutical, textile, agricultural machinery and information technology and information technology-enabled services."
