Madhya Pradesh Gears Up For Global Investors Summit, CM Highlights Business Potential

New Delhi, Feb 20 (KNN) Chief Minister Mohan Yadav of Madhya Pradesh emphasised the state's growing prominence as an investment destination during a curtain-raiser event in New Delhi on Wednesday, ahead of the upcoming Global Investors Summit.

The summit, scheduled for February 24-25 in Bhopal, aims to showcase the state's business opportunities to potential investors.

During his address, Yadav highlighted Madhya Pradesh's strategic advantages, including its central geographical location, extensive infrastructure network, and business-friendly policies.

The Chief Minister particularly emphasised the state's competitive land prices, noting that real estate costs are approximately 40 times lower than in New Delhi and 100 times lower than in Mumbai, presenting a significant cost advantage for potential investors.

The state government is actively courting investments across various sectors, including start-ups, tourism, textiles, and energy. Yadav referenced his recent discussions with Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo's founder, who expressed interest in the state's high-quality cotton production.

To further attract investors, the state is offering substantial incentives, including a 200 percent incentive package for the readymade garments sector.

Reflecting on changing attitudes toward industrial development, Yadav noted that while business engagement was once viewed with scepticism, there is now broad recognition that industrial investment generates employment opportunities and drives economic growth.

"India and Indians can progress only by promoting industries," the Chief Minister stated.

In his social media communications, Yadav promoted Madhya Pradesh as a ‘Future Ready’ state, emphasising its commitment to ease of doing business, robust infrastructure, and abundant natural resources.

The upcoming Global Investors Summit is positioned as a key platform for showcasing these advantages to domestic and international investors, as the state continues to position itself as a preferred investment destination in India.
