Uttarakhand’s industrial landscape has received a significant boost as ₹1 lakh crore worth of investment proposals from the Global Investors Summit have successfully reached the grounding stage. Industry leaders see this development as a major positive shift, likely to deliver long-term benefits for the state.
According to Pankaj Gupta, State President of Industries Association of Uttarakhand, achieving 30% grounding within just 1.5 years of the summit is an extraordinary feat. He emphasized that while most states host investor summits, only 5–10% of proposed investments typically reach execution. In contrast, Uttarakhand’s 30% grounding rate sets a benchmark.
Gupta credited the success to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and his government’s efforts in creating an investor-friendly environment. He added that the state’s focus is no longer limited to industrial growth alone, but also includes key sectors like energy, tourism, and housing, establishing a foundation for holistic economic development.
The collaboration between the Centre and the state is fostering not only economic strength but also opening new avenues for employment. Gupta said that investors’ growing trust in Uttarakhand highlights the effectiveness of these policies.
Chief Minister Dhami has consistently positioned investors as the brand ambassadors of Uttarakhand. According to him, the positive experiences of these investors are helping promote the state across the country and globally.
