Osaka [Japan], October 8 (ANI): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini stated that he held detailed discussions with senior officials of Kubota Corporation at their tractor plant in Osaka regarding potential investments and technical collaboration opportunities in the agricultural equipment manufacturing sector in Haryana.
Sharing details of the meeting on X, Saini said, “Held detailed discussions with senior officials of Kubota Corporation at their tractor plant in Osaka regarding potential investments and opportunities for technical collaboration in the agricultural equipment manufacturing sector in Haryana.”
“I am pleased to share that Kubota Corporation has announced an investment of ₹2,000 crore in partnership with Escorts,” he added. “This significant investment will further strengthen Haryana’s industrial and agricultural sectors, bring cutting-edge agricultural technologies to the state, and create substantial employment opportunities for our youth.”
The announcement came as part of Saini’s ongoing official visit to Japan, aimed at attracting foreign investment and promoting global industrial activities in Haryana.
A day earlier, on October 7, Saini inaugurated the Haryana Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, where he emphasized the state’s vital role in India’s overall development. He stated that Haryana constitutes only 1.34 percent of India’s total geographical area and 2.09 percent of its population, yet has proven to be a major engine of the country’s economic growth.
Haryana ranks second in the country and first in North India in providing logistics facilities to industries, with offices of 400 Fortune companies located in Gurugram. Every second car running on India’s roads is manufactured in Haryana, which also produces 52 percent of the country’s tractors. The state ranks second in contributing to the Central Foodgrain Pool and has won the maximum number of medals in the Olympics and other international sports competitions.
Saini said Haryana is a major hub for automobiles, IT, and other industries, with advanced communication facilities, developed industrial estates, wide highways, expressways, rail networks, and metro rail systems. Every district in the state is connected to a national highway, and every village is electrified, with adequate drinking water and irrigation facilities available.
The Chief Minister stated that the Haryana Government has developed an ecosystem to facilitate Ease of Doing Business, thereby accelerating industrial growth and strengthening entrepreneurs’ trust in the government. He added that, as a result of various incentive schemes, Haryana has become the first choice for both domestic and international investors.
A high-level delegation led by Saini is accompanying him on the visit to Japan. On the second day of the visit, the Chief Minister and the delegation travelled from Tokyo to Osaka on board the renowned Shinkansen-Osaka Bullet Train, known for its state-of-the-art infrastructure, safety standards, and operational excellence.
The delegation included Haryana’s Minister of Industries and Commerce, Rao Narbir Singh. During the journey, Saini said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is moving forward toward a rapid transportation revolution. He noted that under the Central Government’s “Viksit Bharat” initiative, a high-speed train corridor is being developed between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, which will be India’s first bullet train project.
Saini described travelling on Japan’s Shinkansen Bullet Train as an inspiring experience and added that soon, citizens in India would also enjoy such fast, safe, and comfortable travel. He said Haryana, along with the rest of India, would draw inspiration from Japan’s experience and technical expertise to improve its transportation systems. (ANI)
