Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Invest Madhya Pradesh – Global Investors Summit 2025 on February 24, 2025, in Bhopal, emphasizing that now is the right time to invest in the state. The summit, held at the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya near the picturesque Upper Lake, aims to showcase Madhya Pradesh’s vast investment opportunities to industrialists and global investors.
India’s Economic Growth and Madhya Pradesh’s Rising Potential

He also pointed out that Madhya Pradesh is emerging as a key business hub, thanks to its strong talent pool, growing industries, and favorable investment climate.
“The speed of development in Madhya Pradesh has doubled after the formation of the double-engine government in the State,” he remarked, referring to the governance model where both the state and central government work together to accelerate progress.
Policy Reforms and Investment Prospects
To attract more investors, PM Modi unveiled 18 new policies introduced by the Madhya Pradesh Government, covering diverse sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, renewable energy, and tourism.
