Similarly, Odisha has earned the tag of an 'investors' paradise', attracting investments, while Gujarat has been defined as the ‘petro capital' of India and Punjab has emerged as a key hub for textile based industries including yarn, readymade garments and hosiery besides other specialties specific to each state.
