Ahead of the highly anticipated Global Investors Summit 2025, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has reiterated the state’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment by introducing fast-track investment approvals and industrial expansion initiatives.
The event is set to take place in Bhopal on February 24-25 and aims to attract both domestic and international investors.
Highlighting the state government’s efforts to ease business operations, CM Yadav announced that a single-window clearance system has been put in place to ensure that all necessary permissions for new investments are processed within 28 days.
"We have established a single-window system, issuing all permissions within 28 days. Concrete steps are being taken to make Madhya Pradesh a preferred investment destination, both within the country and internationally," Yadav stated.
To further attract investors, the government has reduced bureaucratic red tape, cutting down the number of required approvals from 38 to just 10, making the process smoother for businesses looking to set up operations in the state.
The Madhya Pradesh government is expanding the number of industrial zones from 23 to 50, with a special focus on districts that require fresh industrial promotions.
"In districts where industrial development is still emerging, we have introduced attractive policies and additional incentives to encourage new investments," CM Yadav said.

The state boasts strong infrastructure, including surplus electricity, abundant water supply, and a skilled workforce, which Yadav believes will further boost investor confidence.
CM Yadav emphasised that Madhya Pradesh is among the fastest-growing investment destinations in India, benefitting from the global trust in India’s economic policies under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Over the past year, the state government has actively engaged with industries by hosting regional investment conclaves, leading to over ₹4 lakh crore in investments and the creation of more than 3 lakh jobs.
"Now, with the Global Investors Summit, we are reaching out to countries like the UK, Japan, and Germany to strengthen investment ties. So far, more than 30,000 registrations have been completed, and over 18,000 participants have confirmed their attendance," he added.
To boost job creation, the state government has introduced special incentives for industries that generate employment. Madhya Pradesh, which produces 43% of India’s total cotton output, is particularly keen on textile and labor-intensive industries.
"If an industry is creating jobs, we provide an incentive of ₹5,000 per worker for 10 years. The government is committed to promoting employment-driven industries in every way possible," Yadav said.
The Global Investors Summit will showcase Madhya Pradesh’s robust investment climate, infrastructure, and business opportunities, while fostering collaborations between global leaders, industrialists, and market experts. Discussions will focus on emerging economic trends and strategies to harness the state’s industrial potential.
With an influx of global interest and proactive state policies, Madhya Pradesh is poised to position itself as a premier investment hub in India.
