As a major highlight of HIM MSME Fest–2026, the Government of Himachal Pradesh organised a high-level Investor Meet at the historic Peterhof, marking a significant milestone in strengthening the state’s industrial and investment ecosystem. The event reinforced Himachal Pradesh’s growing stature as a preferred destination for sustainable and future-ready investments.
The Investor Meet was chaired by Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and saw active participation from leading CEOs and investors from across the country. During the meet, 37 Memoranda of Commitment (MoCs) were signed, involving proposed investments worth approximately ₹10,000 crore across priority sectors. These commitments are expected to boost industrial output, attract capital inflows, generate employment and promote balanced regional development in the state.
Addressing the gathering, CM Sukhu assured investors of full policy, administrative and institutional support from the state government. He emphasized that Himachal Pradesh is committed to providing a transparent, stable and investor-friendly policy environment. The Chief Minister also held constructive discussions with industry leaders on investment opportunities, facilitation mechanisms and long-term industrial growth in the state.
Industries Minister Harshvardhan Chauhan thanked the Chief Minister for his progressive and liberal approach towards industrial development. He assured that the Industries Department would work with full dedication to translate the Chief Minister’s vision into tangible outcomes through effective policy implementation, investor facilitation and continuous monitoring of committed projects.
The proposed investments align with the state’s long-term industrial development strategy and the vision of Atmanirbhar Himachal. Key sectors covered under the MoCs include food processing, pharmaceuticals, defence manufacturing, green mobility, solar energy and other renewable energy segments. These sectors have been identified for their high growth potential, value addition, export orientation and contribution to sustainable industrialisation.
Additional Chief Secretary (Industries) R. D. Nazeem said the signing of MoCs reflects growing investor confidence in Himachal Pradesh’s governance framework and ease of doing business. He reiterated the government’s commitment to single-window clearances, time-bound approvals and effective implementation to ensure timely operationalisation of projects.
Senior officials, including Director of Industries Dr. Yunus and Additional Director Tilak Raj Sharma, briefed investors on industrial infrastructure, land availability, incentive frameworks and MSME-friendly policies. Detailed discussions were also held on institutional support and convergence with central government initiatives.
From an economic perspective, the proposed investments are expected to accelerate industrial diversification, strengthen the revenue base, integrate local MSMEs with national and global value chains, and generate large-scale direct and indirect employment.
The Investor Meet under HIM MSME Fest–2026 underlines the Government of Himachal Pradesh’s commitment to industry-led growth, sustainable development and innovation-driven progress, with the ₹10,000 crore investment commitments marking a decisive step towards positioning the state as a hub of inclusive industrial development.
