Connect with ‘Heart of India’, Move Forward with Madhya Pradesh: CM Dr. Yadav

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that Madhya Pradesh has today emerged as one of the fastest-growing states in the country. He stated that investing in Madhya Pradesh is advantageous in every respect. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said, “Connect with the heart of India, connect with the centre of growth and opportunity. Owing to its central location, Madhya Pradesh is rapidly emerging as a strategic hub for trade, industrial development, and product exports. Abundant natural resources, industry-friendly policies, robust infrastructure and effective governance together create an ideal environment for investors.”

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, describing Madhya Pradesh as an unparalleled hub of limitless possibilities, welcomed investors from the land of valour, Rajasthan, to the land of diamonds, Madhya Pradesh. He said that for centuries, the two states have shared deep cultural ties, trade linkages, and a common future. Their mutual dialogue provides a shared platform to expand new possibilities and give fresh direction to the country’s industrial capacity. Drawing inspiration from Bhilwara’s rich textile heritage, Madhya Pradesh seeks to explore multiple opportunities and build a long-term partnership with a progressing Rajasthan. “Together, with our business acumen, intellect, and capabilities, we will script a new chapter of industrial growth in this region,” he added.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing local investors, business leaders, industrialists and representatives of various industrial Organizations on Thursday at the ‘Interactive Session on Investment Opportunities in MP’ held in the textile city of Bhilwara, Rajasthan. He inaugurated the session by lighting the ceremonial lamp. President of Mewar Chamber of Commerce, Shri Anil Mishra, accorded a traditional welcome to the Chief Minister by presenting him with a Mewari turban, angavastram and a bouquet.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have long shared a fraternal bond, marked by strong trade ties and mutual economic complementarity. He recalled that late Padma Vibhushan Shri Ghanshyam Das Birla of Rajasthan had established Grasim Industries Limited in Nagda, Ujjain district. The business communities of Marwar and Mewar are known for their exceptional entrepreneurial skills. Under the capable guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Madhya Pradesh government is committed to promoting industry. Industrialists generate employment and support the needy. He stated that in the changing times, inter-state relations have become more cordial, creating a conducive environment for industrial and commercial expansion. The Madhya Pradesh government has signed an agreement with the Rajasthan government on the long-pending Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) project, ensuring improved water availability for citizens of both states. While countries across the world face challenges, India continues to move forward with determination. “If one route faces restrictions, we will find another,” he said, adding that there are strong prospects for expanding textile trade and business with Europe.

Major Concessions for Large Investment Proposals

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that he has personally taken charge of the state’s Industries Department to ensure seamless industrialisation and the timely resolution of all issues. The state government has simplified industrial policies, leading to accelerated investment and industrial establishment. Special incentives are being provided to investors, and significant concessions are being offered for major investment proposals. Both small and large investors are benefiting from the state’s progressive policies. He highlighted the immense potential in the textile sector in Madhya Pradesh. The foundation stone for the country’s first and largest PM MITRA Park in the textile sector has already been laid in the state. In collaboration with Rajasthan Chief Minister Shri Bhajanlal Sharma, the government is prepared to take this sector to greater heights. The Chief Minister invited investors from Mewar to establish their industries and businesses in Madhya Pradesh.

Strong Foundations for Investors

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav informed that 18 new industry-friendly policies have been implemented in the state. A vast land bank, ample water availability, skilled human resources, excellent logistics connectivity, and transparent administration together provide the best investment climate. He added that Madhya Pradesh has achieved self-reliance in the energy sector and is rapidly advancing in renewable and green energy production. He said India is emerging as a reliable global development partner, and Madhya Pradesh is playing a significant role in this national progress.

Chairman of the Sangam Group, Dr. S.N. Modani, said that Bhilwara is renowned for its textile industry and manufacturing sector. The interactive session would familiarise investors with sector-specific opportunities in Madhya Pradesh. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is working with the governments of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to promote industrial activities.

Secretary of the Mewar Chamber of Commerce, Shri R.K. Jain, said that Bhilwara is globally renowned as a textile city. Since 2020, the Chamber has been working in close coordination with the Government of Madhya Pradesh, which has led to increased industrial growth in border districts such as Neemuch. The state has formulated an excellent industrial policy, and investors now receive full administrative support with just a phone call. He urged the Chief Minister to establish a Technical Textile Park near Neemuch, which would generate new opportunities for investors and employment for local youth.
