Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will lead a high-level state delegation to Gujarat on 27-28 October 2026, visiting Surat and Gandhinagar to attract fresh investments, deepen industrial cooperation and promote business opportunities under the state's flagship Make in Haryana Industrial Policy – 2026. The visit marks one of the most significant outreach drives by the Haryana government since the policy was launched.

What the Two-Day Programme Covers

On 27 October, Chief Minister Saini will hold one-to-one meetings with investors in Surat to discuss investment prospects, industrial expansion and opportunities for setting up businesses in Haryana, according to Amit Agrawal, Commissioner and Secretary (Industries and Commerce). The programme will also include a Pravasi Milan Samaroh — a gathering that brings together members of the Haryana diaspora and prominent business representatives, spotlighting the state's cultural heritage and industrial capabilities.

On 28 October, Haryana will host an investment roadshow in Gandhinagar, bringing together industrialists, investors and sector representatives. The roadshow will showcase the state's industrial infrastructure, investor-friendly policy framework, connectivity and skilled workforce. The delegation will also explore signing memoranda of understanding (MoUs) linked to specific investment proposals.

The Delegation and Key Figures

Haryana Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh will accompany Chief Minister Saini throughout the visit. Agrawal confirmed that discussions will cover prospective investments, projects and business partnerships across multiple sectors, with the government aiming to establish direct links between Haryana officials and Gujarat-based investors.

Make in Haryana Industrial Policy – 2026: The Bigger Picture

The Gujarat outreach is rooted in Haryana's broader industrial ambition. Under the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy – 2026, the state has set a target of attracting approximately ₹5 lakh crore in fresh investments and generating more than 10 lakh employment opportunities by 2030-31. The policy is designed to accelerate industrial development, strengthen manufacturing and create a conducive environment for both domestic and international investors.

Notably, this outreach to Gujarat — itself one of India's most industrially active states — signals Haryana's intent to tap into an established investor base that has long favoured business-friendly environments. Gujarat companies, particularly in textiles, chemicals and pharmaceuticals concentrated around Surat and Ahmedabad, represent natural expansion candidates for Haryana's industrial corridors.

What the Government Hopes to Achieve

The state government expects the engagements in Surat and Gandhinagar to open avenues for new industrial ventures, expansion of existing businesses and cross-sector partnerships. Companies are being encouraged to consider Haryana for new manufacturing units and expansion projects, with incentives under the 2026 policy as the key draw.

With national-level competition for industrial investment intensifying — from states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana — Haryana's proactive roadshow strategy reflects a broader trend of state governments moving beyond traditional investor summits and embedding outreach within existing industrial clusters. The Surat and Gandhinagar engagements will test whether targeted, city-level investor meets can convert into firm MoUs ahead of Haryana's next major investment summit.
