Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh attracted investment proposals worth Rs 8,635 crore with the potential to generate 5,785 jobs at the Interactive Session on Investment Opportunities in Madhya Pradesh held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on Wednesday.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav chaired the session, which was attended by over 500 industrialists, investors and corporate representatives.
Addressing the gathering, Yadav said Gujarat's petrochemical, chemical, textile, pharma, food processing and automobile sectors have significant investment opportunities in Madhya Pradesh.
He highlighted the upcoming chemical refinery at Bina, the 360-acre Medical Device Park in Ujjain, and the PM MITRA Parks being developed in Dhar and Navsari.
The Chief Minister said investors need not worry about land, water or power, as industrial land is available at reasonable rates and the state has adequate infrastructure.
He said Plug-and-Play Zones are being developed and 48 new industrial parks are coming up over 19,000 acres.
Highlighting connectivity, Yadav said the state has 8 airports, 6 Inland Container Depots (ICDs), expressways and highways, making it an attractive investment destination.
The Chief Minister also held one-to-one meetings with more than 15 industrialists.
Chintan Thakur of the Welspun Group shared his investment experience in Madhya Pradesh, saying both Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are growth engines of the country.
