Together, they will steer CII Northern Region across seven states—Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and three Union Territories—Chandigarh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh—focusing on growth, innovation, and industry competitiveness.

He is also a member of the Advisory Board of CII-Triveni Water Institute, contributing to sustainability and water conservation initiatives.
Sunjay Kapur, chairman, CII Northern Region, said, “Our strategic roadmap for 2025-26 focuses on six key priority areas to drive industrial growth and policy reforms — Policy Advocacy, Growth & Inclusiveness, Strengthening MSMEs, Membership Engagement, Skill Development, and Innovation & Sustainability. A key imperative is to fortify the connection between MSMEs, startups, and academia, creating a synergy that amplifies the region’s inherent strengths and unlocks new opportunities for economic growth.”
Puneet Kaura, the newly appointed deputy chairman of CII Northern Region, is the managing director & CEO of Samtel Avionics, one of the leading Indian companies specialising in avionics, rugged displays, and defense electronics for both domestic and international markets.
The company has forged global partnerships with major defense OEMs and government agencies, positioning India as a key player in the aerospace sector.
Kaura has been actively involved in CII leadership roles, having served as the Chairman of CII Delhi. His deep understanding of industrial growth strategies, government policies, and technology-driven manufacturing makes him a valuable addition to the CII Northern Region leadership team.
