Bhopal, Aug 13

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will hold a roundtable meeting with over 15 leading apparel and textile brand representatives from across the country and abroad on investment opportunities at his residence in Bhopal on Thursday.

The meeting will feature a detailed presentation on the state's advanced industrial infrastructure, including PM Mitra Park, skilled workforce, and strategic location, the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said in a statement on Wednesday.

During the roundtable meeting, Yadav will outline the state's vision for the sector, including the textile policy, investment opportunities and the 'Made in MP - Wear across the World' initiative.

"This event will foster direct dialogue between local producers and global brands, boosting exports, creating new employment opportunities and accelerating the state's economic growth," the statement reads.

During the meeting, an MoU will be signed between the BSL (Brand and Sourcing Leader) Association and the Madhya Pradesh government, ensuring long-term cooperation in three key areas: investment promotion, sourcing facilitation, and capacity building.

The BSL Association leads the global textile and apparel trade worth over USD 55 billion and is connected with more than 250 leading buyers and sourcing organisations.

It also serves as a strong bridge between Indian manufacturers and international brands, according to the government.

"Through this agreement, Madhya Pradesh will emerge as a priority manufacturing hub for international buyers, giving 'Made in MP' global recognition," the government said.

Madhya Pradesh is one of India's top raw cotton-producing states, with an annual production of approximately 18 lakh bales (about 3 lakh metric tons).

"We want to demonstrate how Madhya Pradesh, being the heart of India, has emerged as an ideal and sustainable location for the textile and apparel industry," Chief Minister Yadav had stated ahead of a week-long foreign business trip to the UAE and Spain in July this year.

As someone from Bhopal, I'm excited but skeptical. We've heard big promises before. Will this actually benefit local artisans and small weavers, or just big corporations? Need more transparency in these deals.

Excellent move! MP's central location makes it perfect for textile hubs. But government must ensure proper implementation - last year's textile park in Neemuch still hasn't taken off properly. #MakeInIndia

Hope they discuss sustainable fashion too! MP's cotton is good quality but we need eco-friendly processing. Global brands are demanding green textiles now 🌱

Good step but MP needs better infrastructure first. The roads to industrial areas are terrible and power cuts are common. Investors won't come unless basics are fixed!

My father was a textile worker in MP. Hope this brings modern training programs too - our workers need skill upgrades to compete globally. Best wishes for the initiative!
