The investment summit on March 31 will mark the commencement of MoU-based investment projects. “This summit will position Rajasthan as a top investment destination,” said an industry department official. “Investors will receive land allotment letters, and the govt will unveil new policies on logistics, data centres, and textiles to boost economic growth.”
