A government statement on September 13 stated “during the visit, Chief Minister showcased Punjab government’s exemplary work to promote the industry in the state after which BMW agreed to set up its auto component unit in the state,” adding that the decision surrounding this was taken during his visit at the BMW headquarters in Munich.
