Bhopal, June 27 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav said that investment proposals worth Rs 30,402 crore have been received at the Regional Industry, Skill, and Employment (RISE) Conclave, held at Ratlam today, and they are expected to generate 35,520 employment opportunities.
Addressing the event, the CM affirmed that the journey of Madhya Pradesh’s industrial growth will not stop but will now move forward at an even faster pace. He said that while Ratlam was once known for Namkeen Sev, Sarees, and Gold, it will now also be recognised for skill, scale, and startups.
He added that roadshows are being conducted across cities to attract investment, with the next to be held in Surat on June 29.
Dr Yadav announced that in view of environmental conservation and with the objective of promoting green energy, if already established MSME units make a separate investment solely for setting up renewable energy plants, they will also be eligible for industrial development grants on such investments.
He announced that in six villages adjoining the Ratlam Mega Investment Region — Bibdaud, Palsodi, Rampuria, Sarwani Khurd, Jamthun, and Julwaniya — an amount of Rs 50 lakh per village panchayat has been approved for the construction of roads, community buildings, and necessary infrastructure development for the benefit of local residents.

Additionally, he declared that an international-standard hockey astro turf would be built at the Polo Ground in Ratlam, and a large airstrip will also be constructed. He further announced the development of a satellite township in the Kalika Mata temple complex.
Dr Yadav transferred Rs 3,861 crore in loans to over four lakh beneficiaries via a single click for self-employment.
Land allotment letters were handed to 35 large industrial units investing over Rs 6,000 crore, promising more than 17,600 jobs. Apart from that, Bhoomi-Poojan for 94 industrial units and clusters worth over Rs 2,012 crore was done. CM Dr. Yadav disbursed Rs 270 crore incentive grants to 288 MSMEs by a single click, Rs 425 crore financial support was transferred to 140 large industries while 538 MSMEs received land allotment letters.
Chief Minister Dr Yadav emphasised that the state government is taking concrete steps to promote business through strong policies.
He highlighted the state’s improved connectivity, stating that with the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, both cities are now just six hours away from Ratlam. In the coming years, air cargo services will be introduced to facilitate goods transport, and discussions are underway with the Maharashtra government to provide port facilities for Madhya Pradesh.
The CM noted that under the 11-year leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has risen to global prominence and now offers world-class facilities across all sectors. He said that the government is playing a crucial role not only in passenger rail services but also in freight transportation. Ratlam has been granted a four-track railway line by the Railway Minister.
The Chief Minister highlighted that Madhya Pradesh attracted investments worth over Rs 30.77 lakh crore through the GIS platform, expected to generate nearly 21 lakh employment opportunities. To further boost industry, investment, and jobs, the state government implemented 18 new policies in February.
As per state government officials, the state hosts over 340 industrial areas, 10 food parks, five SEZs, and two spice parks. The state is home to over 220 IT companies and more than 150 ESDM firms, employing over two lakh IT professionals. In the textile sector, major hubs include Khargone, Mandsaur, Ujjain, Budhni, and Pithampur, with a PM MITRA Textile Park soon to be established in Dhar.
