During the launch event, Minister Arora assured industrialists that they will no longer have to run around government offices for solutions. “Now, the government will reach out to you,” he said, emphasizing his focus on action over words. He highlighted that such programs will be organized in all major cities of Punjab to build awareness about new industry-friendly policies, encourage fresh investments, and ensure a direct dialogue between the government and business community.
Bhagwant Mann government is committed to solving issues on the spot
Arora underlined that the Bhagwant Mann government is committed to solving issues on the spot and has already notified several industry-friendly policies through the Punjab State Industries and Export Corporation—initiatives that no other state has provided so far. He further added that industrialists are the “brand ambassadors” of Punjab, and their growth and welfare remain the government’s top priority.
The minister also made key announcements, including the establishment of a Unity Mall in Amritsar, provision of fire brigade vehicles in industrial parks, and upgradation of the ESI hospital with central government funding. He also promised to revive the Goindwal Sahib industrial area as a modern industrial hub.
Arora invited all industry leaders from the Majha region to actively participate in the Punjab Invest Summit 2026, scheduled to be held in Mohali on March 13–14, 2026. He expressed confidence that such efforts will open new doors for investment, employment, and prosperity in Punjab.
