He said that the steady rise in Foreign Direct Investment reflects the growing confidence of investors in Punjab\u2019s governance and industrial climate.<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu stated, \u201cDue to the excellent industrial policies of the AAP government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Punjab has made a significant leap in terms of investment. It is a matter of great pride for Punjab and Punjabis that Foreign Direct Investment in the state is continuously witnessing substantial growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting Punjab\u2019s improved national standing, he said, \u201cIt is the result of a secure industrial environment that Punjab has achieved a major milestone by moving from 14th to 11th position in the national ranking. Renowned multinational companies from across the world are now making Punjab their first choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sharing comparative figures, Baltej Pannu said that from March 2022 till February 2026, Punjab has scripted a new chapter of development. \u201cDuring this period, the state has received an average annual investment of \u20b940,000 crore. So far, under the tenure of the Mann government, a total investment of \u20b91.34 lakh crore has been made,\u201d he said, adding that these figures demonstrate how Punjab\u2019s economic condition and industrial framework have become far more transparent and robust than during previous regimes.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing a comparison with earlier governments, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cDuring the tenure of the Congress governments led by Captain and Channi, annual investment was limited to only \u20b923,000 crore, and during their entire five-year term, total investment amounted to only \u20b91.17 lakh crore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further said, \u201cDuring the Akali-BJP government, the situation was even worse. Annual investment was merely \u20b96,600 crore, and in five years only \u20b932,999 crore investment took place. It is clear that the previous governments did not have clean intentions, due to which Punjab kept falling behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu also informed that the \u2018Invest Punjab\u2019 Summit will be held in March, with participation from hundreds of major companies from India and abroad. \u201cThrough this event, large-scale new investment will come to Punjab, which will not only increase government revenue but will also create lakhs of new employment opportunities for the youth of the state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, \u201cUnder the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the government is working with full dedication towards making Punjab economically prosperous and restoring it as a flourishing \u2018Rangla Punjab\u2019 once again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab moves from 14th to 11th in national investment ranking due to transparent &amp; secure industrial environment: Baltej Pannu Punjab E News: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab State Media Incharge Baltej Pannu on Saturday said that under the excellent industrial policies of the AAP government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Punjab has registered remarkable [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":58085,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-political-news","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
