Japan, the US, Belgium, and Singapore remain the state's leading investment partners. To further boost investment, Adityanath directed officials to maintain constant communication with investors and avoid procedural hurdles. He also emphasized the importance of the plug-and-play model, which would allow investors to commence operations quickly. The chief minister encouraged companies to establish their corporate and head offices in the state and directed the Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority to ensure a steady supply of skilled human resources.
