Ludhiana: In a major push to attract investments, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav announced that the state has received investment proposals worth ₹15,606 crore during an investor meet held in Ludhiana. The proposals are expected to generate over 20,000 employment opportunities across various sectors.
Addressing over 400 participants, including leading industrialists from Punjab, Dr. Yadav described Ludhiana as the “Manchester of India” and praised its contribution to India’s economic strength. He invited Punjab’s industrialists to set up operations in Madhya Pradesh and become partners in building a developed India. “Come and make Madhya Pradesh your second home. The state government will welcome you with open arms and provide all possible support,” he said.
Top investors such as Trident Group (₹5,000 crore), Ralson Tyres (₹2,200 crore), and Vardhman Industries (₹1,581 crore) committed significant investments in locations like Pithampur, Dhar, Sehore, and Bhopal. These projects span textiles, food processing, steel, ethanol, and agro-based industries.
Highlighting MP’s strengths, the CM said the state offers land, power, water, skilled manpower, and a supportive policy environment. He underscored the state’s rich mineral resources, including diamonds in Panna and newly found gold reserves in Singrauli.
During one-on-one meetings with over 15 industrialists, Dr. Yadav assured them that Madhya Pradesh is ready to amend policies to attract investment and prioritise both industrial growth and workers’ welfare. Additional Chief Secretary Neeraj Mandloi and Principal Secretary Raghvendra Kumar Singh also briefed investors on infrastructure, incentives, and sectoral policies.
Trident Group Chairman Rajendra Gupta, praising MP as a global business launchpad, announced plans to invest ₹5 lakh crore over the next three years. Industrialists welcomed the CM and applauded the proactive approach of the MP government in creating a conducive investment climate.
The Ludhiana session follows similar roadshows in Coimbatore and Surat, as MP continues its aggressive investor outreach following the Global Investors Summit held earlier this year.
