Director Industries Rakesh Kumar Prajapati signed the MoUs on behalf of the State Government.

Speaking on the occasion, Industries Minister Bikram Singh asserted that the State leads in Ease of Doing Business ranking amongst neighbouring States Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Delhi. The State Government offers distinct advantages to the investors such as affordable land cost, high quality and reliable power supply, proactive and accessible administration. He further added that some investors had evinced interest in setting up ethanol units. He said that Himachal is perhaps the only State in the region to have a State-of-the-art Defence Park at Nalagarh.

M/s Trident Co. signed a MoU worth Rs. 800 crore for setting up taxtile park, M/s Better Tomorrow Infrastructure and Solution Private Limited signed a MoU worth Rs. 490 crore for setting up a private industrial park.

Industries Minister said that the proposals received are intended to make investment in various sectors such as ethanol, medical devices, education and skill development, pharmaceuticals, paper manufacturing, food processing, healthcare, automobile, electronics manufacturing and industrial infrastructure also.

He said that as a new trend in the State, few entrepreneurs have also shown intent in developing private industrial areas and theme parks in the state.
