"Madhya Pradesh emerging as leading textile hub": CM Mohan Yadav ahead of Global Investors Summit 2025

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], February 10 (ANI): Ahead of the Madhya Pradesh Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2025, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said on Monday that the state has emerged with immense potential in the textile and apparel industry and that the event will further propel industrial growth by showcasing investment opportunities to global investors.
The two-day summit, scheduled for February 24-25 in Bhopal, aims to highlight Madhya Pradesh's investment climate and industrial infrastructure, providing numerous opportunities for potential collaborations.
"Madhya Pradesh has emerged as a state with immense potential in the textile and apparel industry. The state's rich agricultural background, the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional weaving communities, a modern industrial base, and investor-friendly policies are propelling it to the forefront of this sector. Through well-planned government efforts, the state is rapidly emerging as one of India's leading textile and garment hubs. The GIS 2025 will further accelerate this industrial journey by showcasing the opportunities available in the state to investors worldwide," CM Yadav said.
He emphasised that Madhya Pradesh's textile industry is not limited to production alone but is creating a comprehensive value chain--from raw material production to garment manufacturing and global exports. He noted that Madhya Pradesh contributes 43% to India's and 24% to the world's organic cotton production. This not only highlights the state's capacity but also positions it as an ideal location for environmentally sustainable and high-quality textile production.
The Chief Minister further highlighted that Madhya Pradesh leads in cotton production while its silk industry is steadily expanding. The state produces over 200 tons of silk annually, promoting both traditional handlooms and modern silk products. Additionally, Madhya Pradesh is advancing rapidly in modern synthetic fibre production, which is boosting technical textiles and speciality fibre manufacturing.
CM Yadav also mentioned that the PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Park (PM MITRA), being developed in the Dhar district, will provide a new dimension to the state's textile industry. Spanning 2,100 acres, this park will offer world-class infrastructure for textile and garment industries. It will not only attract significant investments but also enhance the state's competitiveness on a global scale.
The Chief Minister pointed out that the identity of the state's textile industry is not limited to large-scale production units; its traditional crafts are also a significant strength. Exquisite handloom products like Chanderi, Maheshwari, Bagh print, Batik print, and Zari-Zardozi reflect Madhya Pradesh's rich heritage. Efforts are underway to bring these crafts global recognition. Maheshwari sarees, Bagh prints, and Chanderi cotton have already received GI tags, strengthening their branding and market position.
According to an official release, the state boasts over 60 large textile mills, more than 4,000 looms, and 25 lakh spindles. Cities like Indore, Bhopal, Ujjain, Dhar, Dewas, Gwalior, Chhindwara, and Jabalpur are emerging as key textile hubs. Indore's ready-made garment cluster has become a major unit with over 1,200 enterprises. The Apparel Design Centre and Special Economic Zone in Indore are providing a competitive edge to industries.
CM Yadav noted that the government is implementing several attractive policies to boost industries. Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country to attract Rs 3,513 crore investment in the textile sector under the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme. This investment will position the state as a leader in high-quality textile production and exports.
The government is providing industries with electricity and water at minimal rates, along with benefits like GST exemptions, tax rebates, and other incentives. Special customized incentive packages have also been designed to offer financial support tailored to the investment needs of industries, stated the release.
The Global Investors Summit 2025 will provide a new direction to this industrial transformation. Investors, industrialists, and policymakers from around the world will be invited to explore Madhya Pradesh's potential and discover new investment opportunities. By blending its historical heritage with modern innovations, Madhya Pradesh is on the path to establishing itself as a global textile hub. The government is fully committed to providing all possible facilities to investors and setting new benchmarks in this sector, it added. (ANI)
