Highlighting growing interest from national hospitality chains, Mukund Prasad, director at Leisure Hotels Group, said the company is actively expanding into Madhya Pradesh after acquiring land parcels in Kanha and Pench. The group is now exploring Ujjain and Omkareshwar for spiritual and wellness tourism projects. "The state policies are highly supportive and officials are responsive to the needs of promoters. The govt is encouraging investors to combine luxury tourism with wellness, and the group is planning to invest around Rs 200 crore, as wellness development heavily depends on quality infrastructure," said Prasad. Spiritual institutions too have shown keen interest in MP's sacred landscape. Swami Chaitanya Hari, founder of Yoga Nisarga and Vedic Yoga School, said his group is exploring tranquil locations along the Narmada Parikrama and Kshipra river regions to establish wellness centres and ashrams. "These areas offer a spiritually rich and naturally serene environment, ideally suited for holistic healing and yoga-based practices," said Hari.

"Local farmers must be included in the supply chain for sourcing food and herbs, ensuring that wellness tourism is both sustainable and authentic," said Agnihotri. The influx of spiritual tourism has also triggered large-scale interest from the real estate and hotel sector. CREDAI Ujjain president Mahesh Paryani said demand for hospitality infrastructure is growing rapidly. "Around ten major hotel chains have already tied up for projects in the city and are expected to begin operations by the next financial year. These hotels are expected to invest over Rs 3,000 crore," he said.

Govt taking loan, spending it on luxuries, says Kamal Nath
Bhopal: Bhopal: Former CM Kamal Nath on Thursday came down heavily on the Mohan Yadav govt for applying for a fresh loan of Rs 4,500 from the Centre. The Congress veteran alleged that the loans taken are not being used for either the youth or farmers. He said rather it was being utilised for the purchase of "luxuries" of the BJP govt and its leaders, and the public was getting crushed under the burden of inflation day after day. Taking to 'X', he said, "The BJP govt of Madhya Pradesh is drowning the state in a quagmire of debt. The state govt has started the process of taking a new loan of Rs 4,500 crore from the Centre." Nath argued, "With this new loan, the state will have a debt of Rs 4.3 lakh crore which is much more than its annual budget of Rs 4,21,032 crore. MP govt has not taken any initiative to reduce wasteful expenditure and reduce the debt burden on the treasury. " He alleged that the loans were not being utilised to provide employment, increasing the financial assistance to Ladli Behnas or for the economic welfare of the weaker sections. "Despite taking so much loan, BJP govt has not even given MSP for wheat and paddy to farmers as was promised during the elections. Moong dal farmers are protesting in the state, but moong is not even being purchased at MSP," the former CM said. "If the loan is not being used for welfare, then where is this money being spent?" he asked.
