“Many other entrepreneurs have expressed their willingness to join Madhya Pradesh. Those who are already involved have doubled their work and decided to build better relations with Madhya Pradesh as a future potential state,” the chief minister added.
The Madhya Pradesh government, according to the chief minister, is also ready to work side-by-side and improve relations with its neighbouring states.
On the state’s future and its contribution to developing India’s dreams by 2047, he said Madhya Pradesh aims to contribute USD 2 trillion to the national economy.

Ashish Gujrati, a Surat-based businessman and former President of Gujarat Chamber of Commerce, talking to ANI, said, he had a good discussion about Madhya Pradesh CM and textiles.
“We discussed how can one invest in textiles in Madhya Pradesh, and especially our textile ecosystem of Surat, the benefits of this ecosystem and the benefits of its experience, and replicate in Madhya Pradesh. We discussed how to develop the textile ecosystem in Madhya Pradesh. The policy of Madhya Pradesh is also very attractive. So there is a lot of investment scope from Surat to Madhya Pradesh,” Ashish Gujrati added.
Nikhil Madrasi, the President of the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said industrialists of Surat are ready to bring industry in Madhya Pradesh.
“I can say with great pleasure that we have told him that there is a lot of scope in Surat. And Surat’s industry wants to develop, whether it is Madhya Pradesh or Rajasthan or the whole country.

Ashok Girawala, President, Federation of Gujarat Weavers Association, said: “Industry is growing in the whole country, whether it is Odisha or Telangana or Bengaluru. Industries are growing everywhere, so I believe that Bhopal as well as Madhya Pradesh will also become a textile hub.”
Chairman of South Gujarat CII, Hetul Mehta, said, “The pharmaceutical industry is one of the fastest-growing industries across India. The ease of doing business and the policies that have come forward for the pharmaceutical industry are a very great investment for the pharma, not only for the Indian domestic market but also for export.
