Jaipur/Bhopal, March 21 (NationPress) In a crucial initiative aimed at enhancing economic collaboration between states, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav engaged with investors from Rajasthan in Jaipur on Saturday, labeling the two states as "natural partners" and "twin brothers" ready to convert Central India into an industrial hub.

Emphasizing their common heritage, cultural connections like the traditional 'Roti-Beti' relationship, and a fresh water-sharing partnership through the ambitious “Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal National River Interlinking Project,” Yadav stressed the importance of joint development under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's guidance.

The 'Interactive Session on Investment Opportunities in Madhya Pradesh,' hosted in Jaipur, allowed Yadav to personally inform the Rajasthan business sector about the state's investor-friendly environment.

He congratulated Rajasthan on its State Foundation Day (March 19) and Gangaur Puja, highlighting their shared journey towards a prosperous, self-sufficient India.

Given Rajasthan's prowess in textiles, gems, jewellery, and handicrafts, along with Madhya Pradesh's organic cotton, textile parks, and manufacturing capabilities, the two states can establish a strong value chain.

Yadav pointed out Madhya Pradesh's swift ascendance as a power-surplus state, now emerging as the nation's leader in “green, clean, and solar energy.”

Electricity generated in Madhya Pradesh powers Delhi's Metro, while domestic users benefit from rates around Rs 2.90 per unit. The first 'Manufacturing Zone for Power and Renewable Energy Equipment' is developing in the Mohasa-Babai region of Narmadapuram, attracting key solar players with efficient land allocations, shared infrastructure, and cost-saving features, according to the chief minister.

The Chief Minister also informed Rajasthan investors about 26 new sector-specific policies introduced to draw in investments, with forthcoming frameworks in Space and AI.

Industrial regulations are being streamlined, and the 'Invest MP 3.0' Single Window System ranks among India's premier digital platforms, he remarked.

A budget allocation of Rs 6,104 crore supports industrial growth, complemented by Rs 1 lakh crore in infrastructure investments. The textile and apparel sector under the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Promotion Policy 2025 offers appealing incentives, attracting leading corporations, he noted.

In addition to energy, Madhya Pradesh excels in mining, medical tourism (with land leased at Rs 1 for PPP-model medical colleges and hospitals), and dairy production—boasting extensive Gaushalas (with capacities ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 cows), increased cow subsidies to Rs 40, breed enhancement, veterinary assistance, and free milk for schoolchildren. Yadav dismissed previous misconceptions that industries couldn't flourish in the state, emphasizing its status as one of India's fastest-growing economies with rising industrial rates and GDP.

According to Yadav, Rajasthan's globally acclaimed traders exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit essential for wealth generation. As global investment trends shift from Gulf sources, Madhya Pradesh presents golden opportunities amidst challenges.

This outreach is part of Yadav's nationwide initiative to establish Madhya Pradesh as a leading investment destination, promoting deeper collaboration between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh for shared success and development.
