Chief Minister Yadav emphasized that Madhya Pradesh offers several incentives for investors. The state government organized a roadshow in Ludhiana to attract investors from Punjab. Yadav pointed out that Ludhiana, known as the "Manchester of India," is a major industrial hub. More than 400 delegates, including top executives from various industries, participated in the interactive session. The Chief Minister held one-on-one discussions with over 15 industrialists, informing them about the government's policies and how they could expand their businesses in Madhya Pradesh.

CM Yadav highlighted Madhya Pradesh's strengths, including a sufficient water supply, surplus electricity, a land bank of one lakh acres, and a good road network. He also mentioned that the state government is ready to amend policies to accommodate the needs of industrialists and will not hesitate to change rules where potential is seen. He particularly emphasized the potential in the garments and textile sector, reaffirming the government's commitment to this industry.

The Chief Minister also addressed why industries should invest in Madhya Pradesh rather than Punjab, clarifying that they do not have to leave Punjab but can expand their businesses. He noted the strong ties between Punjab and Madhya Pradesh, encouraging businessmen to explore opportunities in both states to promote economic growth.

During the meeting with industrialists, Dr. Yadav highlighted Madhya Pradesh's liberal policies, peace, and abundant resources as key factors making the state a preferred destination for industrial expansion. He assured industrialists that the state would assist in securing pending environmental clearances from the Centre to ease project implementation timelines. He also emphasized the state's active push in solar energy and other power sector initiatives, signaling MP's readiness for green and future-ready industrial development.

CM Yadav also mentioned the government's efforts to revive legacy mills, such as the Hukum Chand Mill in Indore, where settlements worth over ₹100 crore have been cleared with a focus on worker welfare. Similar decisions have been made regarding JC Mill in Gwalior and Heera Mill in Ujjain, demonstrating the administration's commitment to balancing industry needs with labor rights.
