MP attracts Rs 20,193 crore investment proposals; CM Yadav eyes more than 27,000 jobs
New Delhi/Bhopal, July 16 Madhya Pradesh continued its push to attract investments as Chief Minister Mohan Yadav addressed industrialists and global investors in the national capital on Thursday.
During the 'Bharat Tex‑2026' event and an interactive session on investment opportunities in Madhya Pradesh, the state received proposals worth Rs 20,193 crore. These commitments are expected to generate employment for around 27,592 people.
Speaking at the session, CM Yadav assured investors of a stable industrial environment.
He said there were no labour issues in the state and industries would remain secure for decades. Several MoUs were exchanged with company representatives.
CM Yadav invited participants to attend the Global Investors Summit (GIS‑2027) scheduled for January 2027. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership for transforming India's global image and creating equal opportunities for all states.
Highlighting the state's strengths, Yadav noted Madhya Pradesh's abundant power supply, skilled workforce, and policy support, including subsidies and incentives for employment‑oriented industries.
The state ranks first in cotton and organic cotton cultivation and second in food grain production.
He emphasised potential in textiles, MSMEs, mining, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Industrial parks, he said, witness instant plot allocations, and past GIS proposals have already translated into ground‑level action.
The events in New Delhi showcased Madhya Pradesh's business‑friendly policies and commitment to inclusive growth.
With emphasis on ease of doing business, infrastructure, and investor security, the state is positioning itself as a preferred destination ahead of GIS‑2027.

Finally, some attention for our state! MP has so much potential in textiles and food processing. The emphasis on skill development and instant plot allocation is smart. Let's hope the youth don't have to migrate to other states for jobs anymore.
Impressive numbers, but I'm a bit skeptical. ₹20,193 crore sounds huge but how much actually lands in the state's economy? Also, 'no labour issues' comment worries me—workers' rights shouldn't be sacrificed for investment. Still, hope this creates real opportunities! 🙏
As someone from Indore, I've seen development happen in our city. But smaller towns in MP need these jobs too. Hope the investment reaches places like Rewa, Satna, and Shahdol. The 'ease of doing business' is nice, but implementation matters more!
CM Yadav seems to be following the Modi model well. MP's got abundant power and skilled workers—that's a solid pitch. But I want to see clear timelines for these projects, not just before GIS-2027. The textile sector focus makes sense given our cotton production.
Interesting to see an Indian state making such big moves. From an outsider's perspective, the focus on 'no labour issues' might raise some eyebrows—labour rights are important. Still, 27,592 jobs in a developing state sounds promising. Hope the plans are sustainable.
