Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s push for industrial growth in Madhya Pradesh gains momentum with plans for ₹1,200 crore textile expansion by Arvind Group, aiming to create jobs and attract global manufacturing at the PM MITRA Park.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has pitched the state as a growing industrial base after meeting Arvind Group executives in Ahmedabad and discussing a proposed ₹1,200 crore expansion that could bring new textile and apparel manufacturing to multiple locations. According to the official account of the meeting, the conglomerate plans to set up three units in the state, including at Dewas, Betma and the PM MITRA Park in Dhar, where production is expected to start within a year.
The state government says the investment proposal includes about 105 acres of land at the PM MITRA Park, a flagship textile zone that has become one of the centrepieces of Yadav’s industrial outreach. The chief minister said the project would create jobs for young people in the state and deepen commercial ties between Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, where the Lalbhai family has long been based.
The Arvind talks fit into a broader push by Madhya Pradesh to market itself as an investment destination. Livemint reported that the state planned to use the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos to court global manufacturers, renewable energy companies, logistics firms, textile groups, chemical producers and food-processing businesses. In a separate report, the same publication said Yadav was also highlighting artificial intelligence-led governance and clean energy as part of a wider pitch to investors.
That effort comes as textile investments in the state gather pace. Business Standard reported in September that 15 companies had proposed ₹12,508 crore in textile projects in Madhya Pradesh, with more than 18,000 jobs expected, and said Arvind Mills was among the firms linked to the PM MITRA Park in Dhar. The Times of India has also reported that Yadav is looking to use the Davos platform to attract capital into agriculture, organic farming and tourism, while another report said the state recently secured electricity supply agreements worth ₹60,000 crore, underlining the government’s attempt to build a larger industrial story around power, land and infrastructure.
