Haryana and Sweden Sign ₹4,000 Crore Investment Deals

Haryana has signed Letters of Intent (LoIs) and investment agreements worth ₹4,000 crore with Swedish companies during Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's visit to Sweden from October 14 to 17, 2026.

The initiative aims to strengthen trade, attract international investment and create employment opportunities in the state.

The announcement also includes a city-to-city partnership between Gurugram and Stockholm.

The collaboration is intended to encourage knowledge exchange and cooperation in urban planning, smart-city solutions and sustainable development.

How the ₹4,000 Crore Deals Are Divided

According to officials, the agreements cover investment opportunities across multiple sectors. The reported breakdown is:

• ₹3,000 crore: A Letter of Intent signed by the Haryana government.
• ₹1,000 crore: Agreements covering the retail and warehousing sectors.

The proposed investments are expected to support industrial development, modern warehousing infrastructure, retail expansion and logistics activity.

Officials also said Swedish companies could create employment opportunities for skilled workers in Haryana.

These agreements represent planned investment cooperation. The final scale and delivery of individual projects will depend on their implementation.

Gurugram and Stockholm Explore a Sister-City Partnership

The Gurugram-Stockholm collaboration aims to help the two cities exchange expertise in urban development and public services.

Haryana is particularly interested in Sweden's experience with municipal cooperation and planned urban growth.

Potential areas of collaboration include:

• Smart-city solutions and technological innovation.
• Sustainable urban development and infrastructure planning.
• Knowledge exchange and municipal governance.
• Investment promotion and economic development.

The state is also exploring how Gurugram's experience could support five proposed urban centres along the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway under Haryana's Panchgram vision.

Haryana Highlights Existing Swedish Investments

During the visit, Saini presented Haryana as a destination for manufacturing, technology and international business.

He highlighted existing and proposed Swedish-linked projects across Gurugram, Faridabad and Jhajjar.

Examples cited by the chief minister included IKEA's proposed ₹3,500 crore integrated project in Gurugram, a Carl-Gustaf manufacturing facility being established at MET City in Jhajjar, and ABB's manufacturing operations in Faridabad.

Swedish education group Kunskapsskolan, which opened its first Indian school in Gurugram in 2013, was also mentioned.

Saini invited Swedish businesses to participate in the Happening Haryana Global Investors Summit 2027 and encouraged cooperation in education, skills development, innovation and energy.

New Urban Centres Along the KMP Expressway

Haryana's Panchgram vision proposes five new greenfield urban centres along the KMP Expressway.

The state hopes to use international experience to support more balanced development beyond established economic hubs.

Gurugram could share lessons in investment facilitation, urban planning and civic administration.

However, applying those lessons will require attention to infrastructure, drainage, waste management and public services—areas that have faced challenges during Gurugram's rapid expansion.

Their long-term impact will depend on how the proposed investments progress and whether the city partnership leads to practical improvements in infrastructure, services and employment.
