Surat: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav announced that in order to accelerate industrial development and streamline the investment process in Madhya Pradesh, a new office of the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) will be established in Ahmedabad. He shared this while addressing the Interactive Session on Investment Opportunities in Madhya Pradesh, held at Hotel Marriott in Surat, Gujarat.

The Surat session proved fruitful, with investment proposals worth Rs. 15,710 crore received. These proposals are expected to generate employment for over 11,250 people.

CM Dr. Yadav emphasized that ease of doing business, transparency, fairness, and adherence to timelines are key pillars of the state’s approach to industrial and commercial growth. Under the banner of “Industry and Employment Year 2025”, Madhya Pradesh is making significant strides in heavy industries, MSMEs, and cottage industries.

CM Dr. Yadav highlighted Madhya Pradesh’s industrial potential, geographical advantage, expanding infrastructure, and policy innovations. He noted the state’s 39% agricultural growth rate, skilled human resources, and abundant mineral reserves, making it suitable for all sectors—textiles, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and tourism among them. He assured investors that subsidies in the state are directly transferred to beneficiaries’ accounts under DBT, ensuring complete transparency. Gujarat, he said, has been a global leader in industry, and under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has become more secure and prosperous, marked by transformative projects like the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Mahakal Lok in Ujjain, and the revamped Kashi Vishwanath corridor. He praised Gujarat for giving the nation leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, and highlighted that diamonds mined in Panna, Madhya Pradesh, are polished in Surat, just as cotton grown in Madhya Pradesh fuels Surat’s textile industry.

The session aimed to deepen connections with Gujarat’s industrial groups, especially in textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, engineering, and gems & jewellery. Dr. Yadav held one-on-one discussions with representatives of over 18 major companies from these sectors.

Several Gujarat-based industrialists shared their success stories in MP. Ram Prakash Beria, Founder of Millennium Baby Care and Care Fit Industries, praised the state’s supportive industrial ecosystem. His group has already invested Rs. 400 crore in Indore and is expanding with an additional Rs. 200 crore, while planning Rs. 600 crore more through other ventures. Chintan Thakkar, Group President of Welspun World, appreciated MP’s logistics and MSME policies. Jigneshbhai Mehta, Director of Torrent Power, lauded the state’s infrastructure and responsive administration. Govindbhai Dholakia, Chairman of SRK Group, said Gujarat’s entrepreneurs view Madhya Pradesh as a second home, thanks to its transparency and investor trust.

Over 400 industry representatives participated in the session. The Chief Minister welcomed investors to set up industries in Madhya Pradesh and assured them of all necessary support. DeshGujarat
