SAD will establish ‘Build Punjab’ department, says Badal

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal said the party would establish a ‘Build Punjab’ department if it comes to power.

Badal said the department would be aimed at supporting industry and improving the state’s business environment. He also spoke about plans to ease power costs for industrialists.

“We will allow industrialists to install their own solar power plants which would bring down their power rates to ₹1.50 per unit,” Badal said.

The remarks were made as part of SAD’s pitch on industrial policy and economic development for Punjab.
