Investments worth Rs 10K cr likely in Haryana: Khattar

Foreign investments worth Rs 10,000 crore are likely to flow into Haryana in near future, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said today.
The CM said investors, including some top companies, showed keen interest to invest in the state during his recently concluded maiden visit to the United States and Canada.
Khattar, who led a 32-member strong delegation to the US and Canada from August 16-24, said the investments are likely to generate employment for 40,000 people.
Out of the total investment likely to be garnered, an estimated Rs 5,000 crore is likely to be made in food processing industry thus opening new avenues of growth for agriculture and allied sectors.

These investments would accrue as a result of various meetings and agreements signed between Haryana and leading companies of the US and Canada during the visit, he said addressing a press conference here.
The CM said that he received an overwhelming support from top companies in both the US and Canada to new industrial policy announced by the state government nearly a fortnight back.
Giving details of his maiden foreign visit, Khattar said the Haryana government signed MoUs with five leading companies, including Google, CISCO, United Technologies, Applied Materials and Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology.
