With Japan’s cooperation, Haryana to emerge as a hub for automobiles, IT and innovation
Japan’s Kubota tractors will now showcase their power in the fields of Haryana
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
The three-day visit to Japan led by Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has proved to be a historic step for the state’s industrial, agricultural, and technological development. During this high-level delegation’s visit, investment opportunities worth about Rs 5000 crore have emerged, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Haryana’s growth.
It is significant that the Chief Minister chose Japan for his first foreign visit. This is the same country that, in the 1980s, began investment in India through Maruti Industries in Gurugram. Haryana has always been a global investment destination for Japanese companies, where favourable industrial policies, strong infrastructure, and an investor-friendly environment have strengthened the confidence of foreign investors. Over the past 11 years, this confidence has grown even stronger.
During this visit, the delegation led by the Chief Minister met leading Japanese companies and industrial groups, including AISIN, Air Water, TASI, Namboob, Denso, Sojitz, Nissin, Kawakin, Daikin, and Toppan. As a result of these meetings, more than 10 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth over Rs 4400 crore were signed, paving the way for employment opportunities for thousands of youth in Haryana.
The Japanese industrial sector, impressed by the transparent governance and industry-friendly policies of the Haryana Government, has extended its hand of cooperation in the fields of industrial and infrastructural development, research, and innovation.
Dream of a ‘Mini Japan City’ in one of the 10 new Industrial Model Townships
Chief Minister has taken a concrete step toward fulfilling the promise made in his first Budget Speech (2025–26) regarding the establishment of 10 new Industrial Model Townships (IMTs). His vision is to develop one of these IMTs exclusively with the cooperation of Japanese companies. He invited investors to invest in Haryana so that the new generations of Japan and Haryana could collaborate and contribute together in the development journey.
At Osaka’s Kubota Plant, the Chief Minister became a ‘Farmer Ambassador’
Being a farmer himself, the Chief Minister wishes that, along with industries, Japan should also make its technology available for Haryana’s agriculturally driven farmers. During his Japan visit, he toured the Kubota Tractor Plant in Osaka. Kubota has proposed to invest over Rs 2000 crore in Haryana. The day is not far when Japan’s Kubota tractors will display their strength in the fields of Haryana. The Chief Minister believes that the combination of the hard work of Haryana’s diligent farmers and Japan’s technology will set new benchmarks in agriculture.
Japan visit marks a major beginning in making Haryana a ‘Global Growth Hub’
Saini’s visit to Japan was not merely an investment trip but a significant beginning towards making Haryana a ‘Global Growth Hub’. It also marks a shared journey of development, trust, and prosperity between Japan and Haryana. The reflection of this partnership was visible at the Haryana Pavilion in the World Expo 2025 held in Osaka, where the innovations of Japan and Haryana were showcased together. Through this collaboration, Japan and India will together realize the dream of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ and make Haryana shine on the map of a New India.
