Strengthening bilateral economic relations, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini recently hosted the Managing Director of Mizuho Bank, Japan, in a bid to unlock new investment avenues. The strategic dialogue in Chandigarh highlighted mutual interests in fostering sustainable development and industrial expansion.
CM Saini presented a comprehensive overview of Haryana’s investment climate, from its plug-and-play industrial parks to tax rebates and land allocation reforms. The talks delved into specific sectors like semiconductors, electric vehicles, and data centers, aligning with Japan’s technological strengths.
Mizuho Bank’s MD was impressed by the state’s rapid urbanization and digital governance initiatives. As a global leader in financial services, the bank is keen on supporting public-private partnerships and ESG-compliant projects in Haryana.
This comes at a time when India-Japan economic ties are at an all-time high, with trade volumes surging. Haryana aims to carve out its niche by offering unmatched connectivity via expressways and upcoming metro expansions.
Stakeholders predict that this engagement could catalyze a wave of Japanese FDI, boosting exports and innovation. The government plans to organize a dedicated investor summit for Japanese firms soon.
