Patel calls on industrialists, investors to grow in Gujarat
During his Mumbai roadshow ahead of the 11th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel called upon industrialists and investors from India and abroad to "Come to Gujarat – Grow in Gujarat – Grow with Gujarat."
ANI, citing a release from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), reported that Patel spoke about Gujarat's significant development journey during an interaction with Consuls General from various countries, representatives of foreign missions and leading industry figures from across the country.
Patel said Gujarat has strengthened its position as the country’s industrial powerhouse and a “Global Gateway to the Future” through the continued success of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit, which was launched in 2003 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the state’s Chief Minister. He added that the state has expanded beyond conventional industrial growth and is now focusing on sustainable development in emerging areas, including renewable energy, green hydrogen, semiconductors and green manufacturing.
At the Mumbai roadshow, Patel urged Consuls General, foreign mission representatives and leading industry leaders to contribute to Gujarat’s growth by investing in the state. He said Gujarat should be viewed not just as an industrial destination but as a reliable partner in long-term growth, while inviting them to bring fresh ideas and investments and assuring them of the government’s support.
