According to the report, Punjab has emerged as a top business destination because of its ease of doing business (EODB) regulations, infrastructural development, and high returns on investment. According to the research, the majority of the investment has gone into the industrial sector, which has become a hotspot for new entrepreneurs and industry.
Moreover, the government’s partnership with foreign governments and contractors for infrastructure development has increased investment. These investors were largely from China, Holland, and Turkey, and their goal was to create a network of systems to support the functioning of industrial zones, so that any investors considering investing in the area would feel confident in the decision.
