Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav on Wednesday announced that a private Ahmedabad-based firm has proposed an investment of approximately ₹1,200 crore in Madhya Pradesh, including at the PM MITRA Park in Dhar, following discussions with the company's vice-chairman in Ahmedabad. The investment is projected to generate employment for around 5,000 people in the garment sector and is expected to deepen industrial ties between Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
Investment Locations and Timeline
The proposed industrial expansion spans three locations in Madhya Pradesh: Barlai near Dewas, the PM MITRA Park in Dhar, and Betma in Indore. The company has been allotted 105 acres at the PM MITRA Park for its proposed unit. Production at the PM MITRA Park is targeted to commence by next year, in alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for the scheme.
'By further strengthening relations with Gujarat, a unit of the company is also being established in Madhya Pradesh. In accordance with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, production at the PM MITRA Park is targeted to begin by next year. This will create new employment opportunities for the youth of the state,' Dr Yadav said.
Incentives and Sector Support
Discussions covered a range of incentives available to the textile and apparel sector, including capital and interest subsidies, reimbursement of stamp duty and registration charges, and support for green industrialisation and research and development facilities. The meeting also addressed completing the application process under the CCIP and expediting government-level approval of the proposal.
The company, headquartered in Ahmedabad, operates across the denim, garments, fabrics, and broader textile value chain — making it a strategically relevant partner for Madhya Pradesh's ambitions in textile manufacturing.
Circular Water Economy and ZLD Solutions
Beyond the investment itself, the meeting examined Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) solutions for textile, pharmaceutical, and other industrial clusters across Madhya Pradesh, which is currently developing more than 90 industrial parks. A proposal to connect these parks with sewage treatment plants of nearby municipal corporations to build a 'Circular Water Economy' model was also discussed — reflecting a broader push for sustainable industrial growth.
Simhastha-2028 and Communication Networks
The two sides also explored the possible deployment of mission-critical communication networks during Simhastha-2028, with the company's joint venture offering wireless communication, walkie-talkie networks, PMRT, and public safety solutions. Police, security forces, disaster management agencies, health services, and event management authorities are among the potential users of such systems.
What's Next
Chief Minister Dr Yadav invited the firm to deepen its investment in Madhya Pradesh and participate in the Global Investors Summit (GIS)-2027. The meeting was attended by Madhya Pradesh Additional Chief Secretary (Industries) Neeraj Mandloi, Secretary (Industries) John Kingsley, and MPIDC Managing Director Chandramauli Shukla. As the state seeks to expand its textile manufacturing base, this investment signals a concerted effort to convert Gujarat's industrial capital into employment gains on Madhya Pradesh soil.
Point of View
200 crore proposal is notable less for its size and more for its structure — spreading investment across three MP locations rather than a single SEZ, which suggests a deliberate attempt to distribute employment gains. Yet the 5,000-job projection for the garment sector warrants scrutiny: MP's textile ambitions have historically struggled with infrastructure gaps and labour absorption. The Circular Water Economy and ZLD discussions are forward-looking, but with over 90 industrial parks in development, implementation capacity is the real question. The GIS-2027 invitation signals that this deal is as much about political optics ahead of a flagship summit as it is about immediate industrial output.
