The industrial landscape of Madhya Pradesh has received a significant boost with a wave of new investment proposals. In a span of about one month, the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) has successfully allotted undeveloped plots to 11 industrial units, attracting proposed investments worth nearly Rs 2,800 crore. This move is set to create approximately 4,000 new jobs once these projects become operational.
Key Industrial Hubs Attract Major Investments
The land allotments have been strategically made across several established and emerging industrial locations in the state. The major areas include Pithampur Sector 6 and its extension, Sanwer, Jetapur-Palasia in Dhar district, Meghnagar, and Bhavsinghpura. This geographic spread indicates a healthy diversification of industrial activity beyond the traditional core areas.
Commenting on this development, Himanshu Prajapati, Executive Director of MPIDC, stated that the swift influx of proposals on raw land underscores the growing confidence of investors in the state's business ecosystem. He emphasized the corporation's focus on expediting the allotment process and ensuring timely infrastructure development to accelerate the journey from proposal to ground execution.
Pithampur and Sanwer Lead the Charge
As expected, the industrial powerhouse of Pithampur continued to dominate, drawing the lion's share of investments. The largest single proposal came from Syam Sel & Power Ltd, which plans to set up a unit worth Rs 1,250 crore in Sector 6. This project alone has the potential to generate employment for about 1,500 people. Adding to Pithampur's momentum, Altis Industries Ltd has lined up a Rs 260 crore project in the Sector 6 Extension area.
The Sanwer industrial area emerged as another crucial destination, attracting a cluster of medium-sized projects focused on manufacturing and packaging. Companies like ALU Propack Pvt Ltd, Flaxi Lam Pvt Ltd, and Fairseal & Closers Pvt Ltd have together proposed investments worth nearly Rs 480 crore in value-added manufacturing, further strengthening the industrial output of the Indore region.
Emerging Locations and Sectoral Diversification
The recent allotments also highlight the rise of new industrial centres on the state's map. Meghnagar attracted a Rs 247 crore unit proposed by Madhya Bharat Phosphate Pvt Ltd, while Nimad Green Energy Pvt Ltd plans to invest over Rs 180 crore in Bhavsinghpura.
Signaling a welcome trend of sectoral diversification, Jetapur-Palasia in Dhar district received a healthcare manufacturing proposal valued at over Rs 100 crore. This move beyond traditional industrial clusters points to a maturing and broadening investment portfolio for the state.
Officials view this one-month surge as a clear indicator of renewed and strong traction in manufacturing-led investments. While established hubs like Pithampur and Sanwer continue to be the bedrock of growth, newer centres are steadily gaining prominence, painting a promising picture for balanced regional industrial development and job creation across Madhya Pradesh.
