Speaking at the event, Gupta highlighted Punjab’s improving industrial ecosystem and supportive policy environment as key factors behind the company’s decision. The state government has been actively promoting itself as an investment destination through infrastructure development and investor-friendly initiatives.
The announcement comes amid a broader wave of investment commitments made during the summit, reflecting renewed industry confidence in Punjab’s economic potential.
With this investment, Trident Group is set to play a pivotal role in driving economic growth, employment generation, and industrial development in the region over the coming years.
