Punjab Becomes New Powerhouse of Auto Parts: Preparations for Investment of ₹20,000 Crores in Mandi Gobindgarh Under Mann Government’s Guidance

Chandigarh, October 14, 2025: Punjab is emerging today as one of the fastest-growing auto component manufacturing hubs in the country. With strong government support, excellent infrastructure, and commitment to innovation, the state is now attracting major global automotive companies. And this is proof that Punjab has now made its strong place on the map of the global auto industry.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s visionary thinking and active leadership have made Punjab the most preferred destination for investors. The state-of-the-art plant manufacturing BMW parts in Mandi Gobindgarh is set to start from next month, where an investment of around ₹150 crores has been made. This plant will produce 2.5 million unit parts for BMW. This project not only shows Punjab’s industrial capacity but also proves that the state is skilled in international-level quality and technology.

The Punjab government has implemented a ‘Real Single Window System’ for investors, which provides them all kinds of facilities and support from one place. Under this system, companies face no delays in getting licenses, permits, and other approvals. The Chief Minister has personally ensured that every company coming to the state gets full cooperation and does not face any kind of difficulty. The government’s focus on industrial peace, skill development, and increasing exports is clearly visible, which is very attractive for investors.

Under the state’s new industrial policy, sector-specific committees are being formed for various sectors including auto and auto components. The purpose of these committees is to promote advanced technology and innovation so that along with big companies, local MSME units can also compete in the global market. This initiative will prove especially beneficial for small entrepreneurs and startups, as they will get government help in technical support, training, and market access.

Punjab’s auto component sector is now making its mark not just in the country but worldwide. Exports of products made here are continuously increasing, which is bringing foreign currency to the state and opening new business opportunities. Seven percent of the country’s total auto component industry is made in Punjab, and with new policies and investments, this figure is going to increase in the coming years. This growth, along with strengthening the state’s economy, is giving thousands of new employment opportunities to youth.

Punjab is also becoming an attractive destination in terms of foreign investment. In 2025, new investment of ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 crores is expected in the auto sector, which will take the production capacity and technical innovation of local industries to new heights. This massive investment will benefit not just big companies but also small vendors and suppliers, as it will strengthen the entire supply chain.

Punjab’s auto component hub is also very important for the country’s electric vehicle industry. Companies in the state are doing excellent work in the field of EV parts, smart transmission systems, and green technology. As the country is moving toward electric mobility, Punjab is fully ready to play a leading role in this change. Companies here are making sustainable and future-ready solutions, which are in demand not just in India but abroad as well.

This development has brought a golden opportunity for local youth. Thousands of new jobs are being created in the auto component sector, which include various fields like engineering, manufacturing, quality control, logistics, and management. The government is training youth according to industry needs through skill development programs so that they can easily get good jobs. This is very necessary not just for the careers of youth but also for the overall progress of the state.

Due to the government’s strong support, progressive policies, and the industry’s modern thinking, Punjab’s auto component industry has today become an ideal model of innovation, global competition, and sustainable employment generation. When world-renowned companies like BMW set up manufacturing units in Punjab, it is the biggest proof of the state’s credibility and potential. Punjab is no longer just an agriculture-dominated state but is creating its new identity as an industrial powerhouse, which will make an important contribution to the country’s economy in the coming decades.
