Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that when the government and industry work together, their capabilities increase manifold. The Benecor Group's plant was inaugurated with a foundation-laying ceremony in August 2024, and production has begun within just two years. The state government delivers on its commitments and does so on time. This has given Madhya Pradesh a new identity in the field of industrial development.
Today's inauguration marks a partnership between German technology and India's nearly century-old heritage. The first phase of the plant involves an investment of Rs 160 crore and has an annual business capacity of Rs 300 crore. It will provide employment to a large number of people. The unit will manufacture products related to the hygiene and health of mothers, women and children. Along with generating economic activity, this industry will also symbolise our social responsibility.
CM Dr. Yadav was virtually addressing the inauguration ceremony of Benecor Private Limited's plant in Bhopal's Acharpura Industrial Area from New Delhi on Thursday.
Bhopal Emerging as Modern Manufacturing Hub in Central India
CM Dr. Yadav said that the state government's clear objective is to attract every major investor from India and abroad to Madhya Pradesh. With industry-friendly policies, online land allotment and a single-window system for approvals, Madhya Pradesh has become a preferred destination for investors. Bhopal is now emerging as a modern manufacturing hub in Central India. He said that the government's coordinated efforts aimed to ensure that industries train young people and provide them with employment so that they do not have to leave the state in search of jobs. CM Dr. Yadav congratulated local MLA Shri Vishnu Khatri on the establishment of Benecor Group's plant in Acharpura.
Production to be Strong Step Towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat
It is noteworthy that the plant will manufacture hygiene nonwoven material used in diapers and sanitary napkins. Until now, this material had to be imported. It will now be manufactured within the country, making this production a significant step towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
The plant is environment-friendly. It has no boiler and will have very low water wastage. It has been designed in accordance with green building standards. Benecor plans to double its production capacity within three years.
Officials from the Department of Industrial Policy and Investment Promotion, representatives of the Benecor Group, engineers and a large number of local residents attended the programme held in Acharpura. MPIDC Managing Director Shri Chandramouli Shukla and officials of the Benecor Group were also present.

Online land allotment, a single-window system and the facility to start business operations within 30 days have simplified procedures for investors. The government is working to ensure that investors receive the required facilities and approvals on time so that industries can begin production at the earliest.
