Mumbai: The Haryana government on Sunday said it has received commitment for Rs 20,000 crore in investments in various sectors such as renewable energy, retail and logistics.

"Haryana has received Rs 20,000 crore worth of offers to do business from over 18 people," chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar told reporters on the second day of the Make in India (MII) week in Mumbai.

"These are in the areas of logistics, renewable energy, retail among others, and we expect to cross our target of Rs 1 lakh crore worth investment deals ahead of the investor summit in the state next month," he added.

Khattar also mentioned that Wanda Group of China had signed a memorandum of understanding worth Rs 65,000 crore.

The chief minister expects investment from all sectors that can give employment to Haryana's youth, as the state looks to create 4 lakh jobs.

Haryana recently unveiled a new 'Enterprise Promotion Policy', which is targeting ease of doing business and transparency to attract more investments into the state.

On ease of doing business, Khattar emphasised that Haryana is working towards being among the top five states in the country.

As the state is in the forefront of automobile manufacturing, several companies, including Ashok Leyland, TVS and Maruti are looking to set up more production facilities in the state, he added.

Haryana is also looking at attracting investments in new sectors like aviation and defence.

"We are keen to attract investment in segments that are not present in the state, particularly aviation and defence. We have already indicated our interest in creating an aviation hub in Hisar, where we have 3,500 acres of land available," said Haryana finance minister Captain Abhimanyu.
