The Chief Minister remarked that Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh are like “twin brothers.” He noted that while Gujarat possesses technology, trade, and industrial experience, Madhya Pradesh boasts abundant water resources, a large land bank, and logistical advantages due to its central location in the country. The partnership between the two states could pave the way for a new chapter in industrial development.
He pointed out that there are extensive opportunities in Madhya Pradesh for Gujarat’s petrochemical, chemical, textile, pharma, food processing, and automobile sectors. Projects like the Bina Petrochemical Project, Ujjain Medical Device Park, Dhar’s PM Mitra Park, and the Pithampur Automobile Hub could further strengthen collaboration between the two states.

Approximately 19,000 acres of land are being allocated for 48 new industrial parks. Additionally, the state boasts over 5 lakh kilometers of road networks, strong rail connectivity, 8 airports, and 6 inland container depots, providing better connectivity for investors.
