Jaipur: Roadshows for ‘ Rising Rajasthan ’ investors summit will start from Aug 22, with Mumbai being the first pitstop, while international investors ' meets will kick off in the second week of Sept. Sources said the industries department has identified Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru in the first phase of the plan for domestic roadshows. For the international investors' meets, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Dubai, and the UK have been finalised.
“For the domestic roadshows, there could be more cities. But those decisions will come as we go along with the initial plan of holding the events in industrial hubs like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru,” said one of the sources. He said they do not have the luxury of time as the govt came to power only in Dec last year and took the challenge of holding the summit in the first year of the tenure.
“It took time for the formation of the ministry. There was also a bureaucratic reshuffle. Then came general elections and the model code of conduct.
So, when the govt decided to hold the event in the first year of the term, it was going to be a tight schedule. But we have accepted the challenge,” said the official. Japan’s close relationship with India and the experience of its industry in Rajasthan, especially from the Japanese zone in Neemrana, is a major reason why the state govt expects investments from the country.
“Already many Japanese companies in the automobile sector are present in Rajasthan. Govt is optimistic about attracting more investments from the country in the EV segment, which is growing apace,” said the official. Besides automobiles, electronics manufacturing is another area where Rajasthan seeks to attract investments.
“The focus on Japan and South Korea is to attract companies in the auto and electronics manufacturing,” he said.
