A sectoral breakdown of the financial commitments shows that renewable and green energy captured the dominant share, attracting investment proposals worth Rs 71,289 crore. The textile industry secured proposals amounting to Rs 5,000 crore, while pharmaceutical production drew Rs 2,280 crore. In addition, developers and industrial groups submitted proposals worth Rs 1,000 crore for real estate, Rs 400 crore for chemical manufacturing, and Rs 200 crore for information technology infrastructure.
State Focus on Industrial Growth and Employment
Addressing corporate leaders during the interactive sessions, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav highlighted the distinct geographical and operational advantages that central India provides to businesses. He noted that abundant industrial land banks, rapidly improving transport networks, and a dependable workforce make the state a natural hub for manufacturing. Regarding the administration's primary objective, he stated, "Bringing investment proposals to the ground and creating new employment opportunities for youth is the state government's priority."
He assured prospective investors that statutory clearances would be streamlined alongside dependable supplies of electricity, clean water, industrial fuels, and logistics connectivity. Held under the banner of interactive sessions on investment potential, the discussions involved top decision-makers from RPG, Welspun, INOX, Bhilosa, Ipca, and Sun Pharma to review execution roadmaps, factory sites, and tailored incentive packages.
RPG Group: Evaluating Expansions in Jabalpur, Ratlam, and Ujjain
The dialogue between Chief Minister Yadav and RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka centered on power transmission infrastructure, automotive tire production, and information technology. Goenka expressed interest in channeling capital into electrical transmission works based around Jabalpur, leveraging the state's central grid presence and supportive operational guidelines.
For tire manufacturing operations, company executives evaluated prospective plots across Jabalpur, Ratlam, and Sagar, aiming to assess local utility access and transport connectivity. The group also examined the plug-and-play facilities at the newly built IT park in Ujjain to determine whether to expand operations for Zensar Technologies. RPG Group already maintains an established presence in the state, with KEC International having contributed significantly to its high-voltage electricity transmission network alongside Ceat's manufacturing footprint.
Welspun Group: Technical Textile Park and Infrastructure Projects
Discussions with Sandeep Garg, Managing Director of Welspun Enterprises Limited, focused on industrial pipe fabrication, technical textiles, and civic infrastructure developments. Welspun proposed establishing a specialized technical textile park on former mill land, offering to serve as the project's primary anchor tenant once site inspections by its technical survey team conclude.
The meeting also reviewed current operational outlays, including a Rs 150 crore commitment by Welspun Corp for mild steel line pipes and an ongoing Rs 700 crore capital deployment under Sintex. With manufacturing facilities already active in Raisen and Dewas, Welspun indicated readiness to partner with the state administration on highways, arterial roadways, water distribution networks, and wastewater treatment initiatives.
INOX Air Products: Establishing India's First Semiconductor-Grade Silane Facility
Siddharth Jain, Managing Director of INOX Air Products Limited, outlined plans for advanced industrial gases that support electronic manufacturing ecosystems. The company submitted a proposal to invest Rs 1,260 crore to build India's first ultra-high-purity semiconductor-grade silane gas production plant. Scheduled to commence commercial operations by April 2029, the facility is estimated to replace roughly Rs 350 crore in annual foreign imports while generating more than 320 skilled local jobs.
Talks also covered an additional Rs 1,200 crore expansion to produce specialty electronic gases using next-generation processing units, requiring roughly 40 acres of industrial land. Crucial operational prerequisites were reviewed, including natural gas supply lines via GAIL, an electricity tariff subsidy of Rs 2 per unit, electricity duty waivers, interest subvention, and expedited regulatory timelines. Operating in Indore and Bhopal since 2000, the company commissioned a liquid medical oxygen unit in June 2023 and is progressing on a solar-linked nitrogen pipeline in Narmadapuram.

The enterprise requested 200 acres of prime land inside the industrial enclave for primary textile processing, along with 100 acres for dedicated auxiliary units, with site selection now in its closing stages. Targeting operational launch in 2028, the proposed complex across the Dhar-Indore belt will manufacture polyester filament yarn, synthetic fibers, knitted fabrics, and non-garment man-made textiles, fostering an extensive supply chain of micro, small, and medium ancillary suppliers.
