MP CM meets JITO reps in Dubai
Bhopal, July 14 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav held wide-ranging discussionS in Dubai today with representatives of the Jain International Trade Organization (JITO) on investment and collaborative opportunities.
The chief minister shared the government's vision of positioning the state as a leader in global investment, skilling and technology. He invited the JITO community to be a part of the state's industrial growth journey.
Yadav stated that Madhya Pradesh has now emerged as the most favourable investment destination in India due to its strong logistics connectivity, political and economic stability, skilled human resources and investor-friendly industrial policies.
The government, he added, is not only attracting investors but is also actively assisting at every stage — from land allocation to project implementation, it was officially learnt.
Several potential areas of collaboration between Madhya Pradesh and JITO were discussed during the meeting, including the proposal to establish an annual MP-JITO Investment Forum in Dubai.
The forum would serve as a global platform to showcase Madhya Pradesh's key projects in logistics, industrial parks, electric vehicles, food processing and semiconductors. The Chief Minister invited JITO representatives to participate in the upcoming investment forum.
He highlighted that the state's new Logistics Policy not only incentivises exporters but also includes provisions that benefit infrastructure developers. Yadav invited corporates associated with JITO from the textile and food sectors to participate in greenfield projects in areas such as Ujjain, Mandsaur and Basai.
The Chief Minister proposed that Dubai-based skill development institutes collaborate with Madhya Pradesh's Global Skill Park to launch joint training programmes that would supply skilled manpower to industries. He further emphasised that under the One District, One Product initiative, the state is prioritising coordination with JITO entrepreneurs to export agricultural products such as pulses, oilseeds and processed foods to international markets.
The meeting also included discussions on future-forward sectors like renewable energy and drones. The Chief Minister invited clean-tech companies associated with JITO to initiate pilot projects in Madhya Pradesh and noted that the state's renewable energy policy actively promotes innovation in these fields.
Yadav also highlighted that, following the historic investment proposals received during the recently concluded Global Investors Summit, the government is now moving swiftly toward effective implementation. He stated that investment in Madhya Pradesh is not only an economic opportunity but also a social responsibility, leading to new enterprises, employment and innovation.
The meeting was attended by JITO office-bearers, technology experts and prominent entrepreneurs. They assured the Chief Minister of their active participation in skilling, technology incubation and social development projects in Madhya Pradesh. JITO representatives expressed strong interest in building long-term industrial partnerships with the state and submitted a proposal to host a comprehensive investment dialogue. UNI AC SSP
