Rs 1,200 crore textile investment to deepen Gujarat-MP industrial ties
A company that makes jeans and other clothes wants to build new factories in a state in India called Madhya Pradesh.
The company is based in Ahmedabad, a city in the neighboring state of Gujarat.
The leader of Madhya Pradesh, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, met with the company's leaders in Ahmedabad to discuss the plan.
The company wants to invest about 1,200 crore rupees, which is a very large amount of money.
The new factories will be built at three places: near the city of Dewas, at the PM MITRA Park in Dhar, and in Indore.
The PM MITRA Park is a special government park for textile and clothing factories.
The company hopes to start producing clothes there by next year.
The factories could create jobs for about 5,000 people who work in the clothing business.
The state government will also earn money from taxes when the factories operate.
The leaders say the investment will bring jobs for young people and make the state stronger.
A private Ahmedabad-based textile firm has proposed an investment of around Rs 1,200 crore in Madhya Pradesh's PM MITRA Park.
CM Mohan Yadav announced the proposal after meeting the company's vice-chairman in Ahmedabad.
Industrial units are planned at Barlai near Dewas, the PM MITRA Park in Dhar, and Betma in Indore.
Production at the PM MITRA Park is targeted to begin by next year, creating jobs for about 5,000 people in the garment sector.
The firm has been allotted 105 acres at the PM MITRA Park; talks also covered incentives, water reuse, and communication networks for Simhastha-2028.
