Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh has signed a fisheries Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) worth ₹7,430 crore with a private company from Kuwait to boost aquaculture in major reservoirs across the state.

Under the agreement, the Kuwaiti company will invest in modern fish farming techniques, including cage-based aquaculture in reservoirs. It will also focus on fish processing and improving the overall fisheries value chain.
