He was speaking at a seminar on “Making India a Global Manufacturing Hub” in Gurugram. The event, organised by the Bharat Global Industries Forum (BGIF) and Swadeshi Jagran Manch, was attended by industry leaders, policymakers, and government officials.

“Our goal is to ensure that Haryana’s industrial development continues at an accelerated pace. By simplifying regulations and enhancing investor-friendly policies, we are creating a business environment that promotes growth and generates employment. Making life easier and more convenient for the people of Haryana remains our topmost priority,” said Saini.

He said that Haryana’s upcoming state budget will give special attention to sectors such as agriculture, industry, and infrastructure. He said that he has personally been conducting pre-budget meetings across districts to ensure that key stakeholders’ concerns and recommendations are incorporated into policy decisions. He also invited industry representatives and policymakers to actively participate in the budget discussions to witness how their inputs are prioritised.

He said that the rapid expansion of road and transportation projects has significantly improved connectivity, making Haryana a preferred destination for industries.

He said that Haryana has one of the most robust startup ecosystems in the country.

Prominent business leaders, policymakers, and senior BJP leaders also participated in the seminar.
