Madhya Pradesh has achieved a historic milestone at the Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2025, held in Bhopal, by securing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) worth ₹30.77 Lakh Crore. The summit, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 24, showcased the state’s growing potential as a global investment hub. Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, the event set new benchmarks for attracting industrial investments, catapulting Madhya Pradesh into the global spotlight.
Organized by the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation Ltd. (MPIDC), the summit witnessed an overwhelming turnout, with over 25,000 registrations and more than 100 foreign delegates from 60 countries participating. Nine partner countries, including Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Turkey, Poland, Russia, Rwanda, and the United Kingdom, further reinforced the state’s reputation as an attractive investment destination. These partnerships are expected to bring in expertise, technologies, and collaborative business ventures, contributing to Madhya Pradesh’s economic growth.
Some of the country’s top industrialists attended the summit, including Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group, Pawan Goenka, Chairman & MD of Garaj Industries, Baba Kalyani, Chairman & MD of Bharat Forge, and Rahul Awasthi, Global Head of Operations at Sun Pharmaceuticals. Their participation underscored Madhya Pradesh’s growing importance in the national and international business community.
The summit also facilitated over 70 one-on-one meetings between industry leaders and representatives from companies like Godrej Group, Piramal, Aditya Birla Group, Torrent Group, Inox, PepsiCo, and Tata Group. These meetings provided a platform to explore investment opportunities, share strategies, and strengthen business relationships, paving the way for increased industrial growth in the state.
A highlight of GIS 2025 was the introduction of an AI-based business matchmaking tool, which streamlined the process of connecting businesses with the right partners. This tool enabled more than 600 Business-to-Government (B2G) and 5,000 Business-to-Business (B2B) meetings, significantly enhancing the efficiency of investment negotiations. The tool’s innovative approach is expected to lead to long-lasting partnerships and contribute to the state’s industrial development.
The summit also hosted 10 thematic and sectoral sessions that covered diverse investment sectors such as renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, food processing, medical devices, textiles, green hydrogen, and logistics. These sessions underscored the state’s focus on expanding its industrial base by embracing emerging sectors that are crucial for sustainable development.
The NRI Madhya Pradesh Summit, an integral part of GIS 2025, saw the participation of over 500 NRIs who reconnected with their home state, expressing their dedication to contributing to its growth. Many shared their investment proposals and discussed how they could assist in Madhya Pradesh’s ongoing development. This engagement demonstrated the vital role of the NRI community in strengthening the state’s economic fabric.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav hailed the success of the summit, emphasizing its pivotal role in transforming Madhya Pradesh into a key player in the global investment landscape. “Madhya Pradesh has become an increasingly attractive destination for investors, both at home and abroad. With record-breaking MoUs, a focus on sustainable industries, and strategic global collaborations, the state is poised to drive industrial growth and create new opportunities for its people,” he stated.
The GIS 2025 has firmly positioned Madhya Pradesh as one of India’s most promising destinations for investment and industrial growth. The event not only underscored the state’s strengths in infrastructure and industry but also laid the foundation for future collaborations that will contribute to its continued progress.
As the state moves forward with record investments and a clear commitment to sustainability, it is expected to play a significant role in India’s journey toward economic modernization and global prominence. Madhya Pradesh is on the cusp of becoming a major industrial powerhouse, with the GIS 2025 serving as a key milestone in its transformation into a global investment hub.
