The Jharkhand government is set to host a major industrial roundtable in April 2025 to finalize investment agreements with several Swedish corporations. This decision follows a productive meeting between Chief Minister Hemant Soren and the Sweden-India Business Council. The roundtable will serve as a follow-up to the discussions initiated during the Chief Minister’s diplomatic visit to Sweden and his interactions at the Davos summit. The primary focus of the upcoming meet will be on urban mobility, sustainable manufacturing, and the integration of green technology in the state’s burgeoning infrastructure projects.
CM Hemant Soren emphasized that Jharkhand is no longer just a mineral-rich state but a territory ripe for technological innovation and industrial diversification. The SIBC confirmed that many Swedish firms, including leaders like Volvo, are interested in expanding their footprint in the region. The meeting also explored the potential for technological exchange in the education sector, specifically the deployment of e-mobility solutions for students. The Chief Minister’s vision for a modern Jharkhand includes world-class transport systems and a robust manufacturing base supported by international expertise. The April roundtable is expected to be a turning point, translating high-level policy discussions into tangible projects that will drive economic growth and job creation in the state.
