Madhya Pradesh to Launch Policy Guidelines at MP Tech Growth Conclave 2025

In a powerful demonstration of execution-focused governance, the Government of Madhya Pradesh is set to unveil the implementation guidelines for four game-changing policies-Global Capability Centres (GCC), Semiconductors, Drones, and AVGC-XR-on 27th April 2025 at the MP Tech Growth Conclave in Indore. These guidelines will serve as the definitive interface between the government and investors, detailing end-to-end processes to avail incentives announced in the respective policies. From eligibility criteria, required forms, and application processes to standard operating procedures, timelines, and appeal mechanisms, the documents will lay down a comprehensive roadmap for implementation. They are not just administrative instructions they are execution blueprints that bring policy promises into tangible reality.

This milestone reflects Madhya Pradesh’s commitment to swift and effective governance, with a seamless transition from policy announcement to full-scale implementation within just two months of the official launch of four sectoral policies at the Global Investors Summit on February 24, 2025. The implementation guidelines are being fully integrated with the MP Investment Portal, offering investors a paperless, transparent, and time-bound application experience through a unified single-window clearance system. Real-time dashboards and automated workflows will further enhance accountability, operational efficiency, and speed in processing investment proposals.

GCC Policy Guidelines: Fast-Tracking India’s Next-Gen Service Hubs

The Global Capability Centres (GCC) Policy Guidelines will position Madhya Pradesh as a magnet for high-value, tech-enabled corporate hubs. The document will outline structured support for Level I and Advanced GCCs, including capital investment incentives, payroll subsidies, rental reimbursements, and interest support. Designed to attract global firms in analytics, cybersecurity, compliance, Al research, and supply chain management, the guidelines will promote value-driven operations rather than traditional IT/BPO services. An India-first approach will be embedded, with strategic incentives for establishing Centres of Excellence in Al and Cybersecurity.

Semiconductor Guidelines: Precision Execution for a Strategic Sector

With India racing to become a semiconductor powerhouse, the Madhya Pradesh Semiconductor Policy Guidelines will offer tailored incentive structures for both fabless firms and manufacturing units. These will cover everything from design reimbursements and infrastructure support to EPF incentives, chip tape-out grants, and more. Importantly, the framework will provide pathways for firms both covered and not covered under the Government of India’s DLI Scheme, thereby enabling MSMEs, startups, and global firms to participate. A Cabinet Committee on Investment Promotion will review mega proposals, ensuring swift high-level decisions for big-ticket projects.

Drone Policy Guidelines: A Skyward Leap in UAV Innovation

The Drone Policy Guidelines will institutionalize support across the entire UAV value chain-manufacturing, pilot training, service delivery, and testing infrastructure. Startups, manufacturers, and DaaS (Drone-as-a-Service) providers will benefit from seed funding, regulatory facilitation, and skill development incentives. By encouraging applications in agriculture, disaster management, and public health, and promoting safety and standards, the state aims to become India’s leading UAV innovation hub.

AVGC-XR Guidelines: Powering the Creative Tech Economy

With the launch of the AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics, and Extended Reality) Policy Guidelines, Madhya Pradesh will formally integrate the creative-tech sector into its economic development narrative. The document will highlight support for original IP creation, international market access, talent development, and studio infrastructure. Eligible applicants will also receive incentives for equipment procurement, co-working spaces, and student internships, making the state an emerging nucleus for India’s metaverse-ready creative industries.

Portal-Integrated, Action-Ready Governance Model

The Department of Science and Technology has ensured that each set of guidelines is digitally embedded into the MP Investment Portal-a no-query, single-window system built for real-time tracking, inter-departmental integration, and efficient disbursal of incentives. By converting policy declarations into clear timelines, eligibility norms, and defined processes, Madhya Pradesh will lead with action, not just intent.

MP Tech Growth Conclave 2025: A Platform for India’s Tech Ascent

The launch of these implementation guidelines will headline the MP Tech Growth Conclave 2025 in Indore-a gathering of national and international investors, policymakers, and sectoral leaders. The event will serve as a live demonstration of the state’s resolve to transform policy frameworks into investible, operational ecosystems. With sector-specific strategies, strong institutional backing, and investor-first processes, Madhya Pradesh is poised to become the nerve center of India’s next wave of technology-led economic growth.
