Haryana CM’s Japan Trip Opens Doors for Mega Industrial Projects

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini landed in Tokyo on Monday, embarking on a high-stakes mission to attract global investments, foster technological innovation, and position Haryana as a prime destination for international businesses. The three-day visit, spanning October 6-8, aims to deepen economic, industrial, and cultural ties between Haryana and Japan, with a focus on collaboration in cutting-edge technology, manufacturing, and sustainable development.

Saini kicked off his visit with a series of high-profile meetings, engaging with Miyaji Takuma, Japan’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Koga Yuichiro, State Minister for Economy, Trade, and Industry. These discussions centered on expanding trade, facilitating investment, and promoting technology transfers to bolster Haryana’s industrial landscape. In a post on X, Saini shared, “We explored opportunities to strengthen economic and cultural ties with Japan, inviting Minister Takuma to the International Gita Mahotsav in November 2025 and Japan as a Partner Country for the Happening Haryana Global Investors Summit in April 2026.”

Accompanied by Haryana’s Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh, Chief Principal Secretary Rajesh Khullar, and other senior officials, Saini’s delegation is leaving no stone unturned to showcase Haryana’s potential. In a meeting with Koga Yuichiro, the focus was on strategic partnerships between Haryanvi and Japanese enterprises, particularly in the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. Key areas of collaboration included green energy, advanced electronics, semiconductors, future mobility, infrastructure, and digital transformation—sectors poised to drive Haryana’s economic growth.

A major highlight of the visit was Saini’s engagement with TDK Corporation, a global leader in electronic components and magnetic materials. TDK’s subsidiary, ATL Battery, is setting up India’s largest Lithium-Ion Battery manufacturing plant in EMC Sohna, Gurugram district. Discussions with TDK focused on expanding their investments in Haryana and encouraging their partners to establish operations in the state. “This initiative will fuel Haryana’s growth and create new job opportunities for our youth,” Saini noted, emphasizing the state’s commitment to becoming a global investment hub.

In a significant milestone, Saini announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Seiren Co Ltd, a Japanese giant in textile solutions and advanced materials. The company plans to invest over Rs 220 crore in a mega project in Rohtak, expected to generate more than 1,700 jobs. “This MoU marks a transformative step for Haryana’s industrial ecosystem,” Saini posted on X, highlighting the project’s potential to boost sectors like automotive, interiors, and environmental materials.

On October 7, Saini’s itinerary includes a trip to Osaka via Japan’s iconic Shinkansen bullet train to attend World Expo 2025. There, he will inaugurate the Haryana State Zone and hold discussions with Japanese mayors and business leaders to promote Haryana’s investor-friendly policies. An investment roadshow in Osaka will further showcase the state’s robust industrial infrastructure, competitive incentives, and skilled workforce to attract Japanese firms.

The chief minister’s packed schedule also includes meetings with top executives from leading Japanese corporations such as Kyocera, Minebea Mitsumi, Mitsui Kinzoku Components, Horiba Ltd, and the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan. These interactions aim to forge partnerships in advanced manufacturing and technology, aligning with Haryana’s vision of becoming a global leader in innovation.

On the final day, October 8, Saini will meet with Suzuki’s leadership to explore opportunities in the automotive sector and visit the Kubota plant in Osaka to discuss advancements in manufacturing. These engagements underscore Haryana’s ambition to integrate cutting-edge Japanese technology into its industrial framework.

Saini’s Japan visit comes at a critical time as Haryana seeks to solidify its position as a powerhouse for global investment. With its strategic location, skilled workforce, and progressive policies, the state is poised to become a key player in India’s economic growth story, and this trip could mark a turning point in its journey toward industrial excellence.
