CHANDIGARH – India’s Punjab region is pitching its dyeing and finishing sector as a hub for sustainable, high‑quality processing as it courts international investment at last week’s Progressive Punjab Investors’ Summit (PPIS) 2026.

The state’s industry and commerce minister, Sanjeev Arora, told delegates at last week’s event the regional government would “leave no stone unturned” to enhance the global competitiveness of Punjab’s textile value chain, with a strong focus on sustainable processing in dyeing and finishing operations.
