The four-day event, themed ‘Invest. Innovate. Inspire’, will be organised alongside the 9th Session of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) Assembly and the 4th International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH). The three events will provide a common platform for discussions on renewable energy investment, international cooperation, emerging technologies and clean energy deployment.

Haryana CM secures investment proposals worth over Rs 50,000 crore during Gujarat visit Gandhinagar, Oct 28 (IANS) Haryana has secured investment proposals worth more than Rs 50,000 crore during Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s two-day visit to Gujarat, with proposed investments spanning defence, real estate, oil and gas, semiconductors, agriculture and food processing. The proposals followed meetings with industrialists and investors in Gujarat, where Saini sought to attract businesses to expand their operations in Haryana. The agreements include proposals worth around Rs 25,000 crore across the defence, real estate, and oil and gas sectors, Rs 2,900 crore in semiconductors, and Rs 1,400 crore in agriculture and food processing. Memorandums of understanding (MoUs) were also signed for investments in compressed biogas and civil aviation. The proposals announced on Wednesday came a day after Haryana signed MoUs involving around Rs 12,000 crore in proposed investments on the first day of the visit. Those agreements covered defence textiles, technical textiles, industrial machinery, solar energy, cosmetics manufacturing and waste-to-energy projects. Saini held one-to-one meetings with business leaders and investors in Gandhinagar on Wednesday, accompanied by Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh. He invited companies to establish new units and expand their existing operations in Haryana, citing its industrial infrastructure, connectivity, skilled workforce and business environment. The Chief Minister said, “The government is committed to providing simpler procedures, digital facilities and necessary assistance in accordance with the rules to facilitate the establishment of industries and implementation of investment projects.” He said Haryana intended to contribute to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and work towards the goal of a developed India and a developed Haryana. The state government aimed to strengthen its position as a manufacturing and investment destination while generating employment and increasing economic growth. “Gujarat and Haryana had complementary industrial strengths and greater cooperation between businesses in the two states could create opportunities in investment, technological innovation, production and employment,” he said. He invited Gujarat-based industrialists to attend the Happening Haryana Global Investors Summit in April 2027. At an investor roadshow in Gandhinagar, the Chief Minister highlighted Haryana’s proximity to major markets, its industrial corridors and its access to airports in Delhi, Chandigarh and Noida. “Around 57 per cent of Haryana’s geographical area fell within the National Capital Region,” he said. The state has 56 industrial estates and is working towards developing MSME clusters across 143 blocks. Saini said the expansion of large industries could also benefit smaller businesses and local suppliers through opportunities in transport, packaging, maintenance, technical services and other ancillary activities. He also pointed to Gurugram’s corporate and technology ecosystem, which includes offices of more than 250 Fortune 500 companies, around 270 global capability centres and 19 unicorn companies. Automobile manufacturing, engineering, electronics, textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, logistics and warehousing were among the sectors he identified as having “further potential” for investment. The Chief Minister said: “Haryana is working to make industrial approvals simpler, transparent and time-bound, with necessary permissions and related services available through coordinated government mechanisms. The state is also seeking to ensure that eligible incentives and departmental support reach investors in accordance with established rules.” During the visit, Saini also met members of the Haryana diaspora in Surat and Ahmedabad. In Surat, he announced plans for a dedicated portal to register and address complaints from people from Haryana living outside the state. The government also moved towards establishing a Haryana Bhawan in Gujarat, along the lines of the facility in Maharashtra, to serve as a centre for cultural, social and administrative activities. Senior officials accompanying the Chief Minister included Chief Principal Secretary Rajesh Khullar, Industries and Commerce Department Commissioner and Secretary Amit Agrawal, Director General Yash Garg, and senior officials of the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation.

Future urban planning will integrate modern infrastructure, water security, affordable housing and improved quality of life. The Chief Minister said that investments worth nearly ₹12 lakh crore have already been realised in the state. Efforts are underway to attract further investment in industrial corridors, logistics, tourism, renewable energy, water management, modern infrastructure and advanced sectors such as semiconductors. He said these initiatives align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Viksit Bharat @2047. During the conclave, Yadav released the drafts of the Treated Wastewater Recycling and Reuse Policy-2026 and the Madhya Pradesh Urban Affordable Housing and Habitat Policy-2026. A target has been set to achieve 50 per cent reuse of treated water by 2037. Financial agreements worth ₹2,013 crore were signed under the Urban Challenge Fund for urban infrastructure projects. Several MoUs were also inked for technical cooperation in industrial water reuse, solid waste management and urban development. Highlighting the impact of religious tourism, the Chief Minister said the development of “Shri Mahakal Mahalok” in Ujjain has led to nearly seven crore annual visitors, generating opportunities in hospitality, transport, commerce and real estate. He also pointed to improved international air connectivity, including the Indore-Abu Dhabi flight service. Urban Development and Housing Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said cities would be the engines of economic growth, noting that more than 50 per cent of India’s population is expected to live in urban areas by 2047. He cited Indore’s cleanliness achievements as a model of public participation. A Solar Round Table held during the conclave saw participation from over 20 investors. Discussions focused on solar energy use in urban local bodies (ULBs), cutting electricity costs and mobilising financial resources. Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Company MD Manjit Singh proposed a 200 MW floating solar project with a battery energy storage system in Birsinghpur, valued at about ₹1,564 crore, to supply solar power to ULBs and provide two-hour evening electricity. The meeting also discussed raising funds for nearly 200 ULBs through pooled municipal bonds. Urban Development and Housing Commissioner Sanket Bhondve said the combination of solar energy and financial innovation would promote energy efficiency and sustainable urban growth. Key projects showcased in the event, included redevelopment of around 4,600 housing units in Bhopal’s Tortoise City; modernisation of the Central Vista and State Capital Complex; development of the former Hukumchand Mill land in Indore; the proposed Education, Knowledge and AI City in Bhauri, Bhopal; development of 11 major temple complexes in Ujjain; an integrated temple-tourism project in Chitrakoot; the 200 MW floating solar and battery storage project in Birsinghpur; in-situ redevelopment of 21,255 EWS housing units in Bhopal; and proposed compressed biogas plants in five cities.
