Chandigarh, Oct. 6 -- Investor's time should be spent on business and growth and not on files and approvals, chief minister (CM) Nayab Singh Saini said on Monday while participating in a programme organised under the SING (Singapore India Network for Growth) forum on second day of his Singapore visit, assuring investors that his government's goal is not only to establish Haryana as an industrial powerhouse but also as India's innovation capital. Stating that Haryana has strengthened its investor facilitation system, chief minister said that the focus of the state government is now not only on ease of doing business but also on "speed of doing business". "Investor's time should not be spent on files and approvals, but on business and growth. Investors will receive not only land or incentives, but also speed, support, certainty and responsive governance," Saini said while inviting Singapore's business leaders to invest in Haryana. "Haryana welcomes you. We see you not merely as investors, but as long-term partners. Singaporean companies should come to Haryana, invest, establish businesses, develop talent and serve the market across North India. The objective is not merely to bring investment, but to create an ecosystem where business, employment, innovation and opportunities grow together," the CM added. Prominent Singapore industrialists, distinguished representatives from various sectors and Chhattisgarh chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai were also present at the programme. Addressing senior representatives of the industry, Saini said that today's platform is not merely a forum for discussions on investment or business.

The objective of the SING Forum is to transform discussions into action and results. Haryana is fully prepared to be a partner with Singapore in this journey, he said. The relationship between the government and industry should not be limited to giving and receiving approvals; it should be a partnership," he said and called upon the Singaporean companies to come to Haryana, invest and further strengthen the partnership.
