Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, November 25-
Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann urged industrialists to expand their operations in Punjab, assuring them of the state government's full cooperation. The CM officially launched the brochure for the 18th edition of Punjab International Trade Expo (PITEX), organized by the PHDCCI. The highly anticipated event will be held in Amritsar from December 5 to December 9, 2024.
During the event, Karan Gilhotra, Chair of the PHDCCI Punjab State Chapter, briefed CM about PITEX's growth since its inception 19 years ago. Starting with just 50 exhibitors, the trade expo has now grown to host over 500 exhibitors annually, attracting lakhs of visitors from across the region.
Gilhotra highlighted PITEX's vital role in providing businesses with a platform to showcase and launch new products. "Previously, Punjab's industrialists had to travel to New Delhi and wait for trade expos to launch their products. PITEX has eliminated this need by establishing a premier platform right here in Punjab, bringing the market to our doorstep," he said.
Mann lauded the efforts of PHDCCI in fostering industrial growth in Punjab. He reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to supporting industrialists, entrepreneurs, and startups through simplified industrial policies and timely clearances.
