BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh has received investment proposals worth more than Rs 53,000 crore across sectors including green energy, urban development, healthcare and education during Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s three-day visit to the United Arab Emirates, officials said on Wednesday.
Yadav’s visit, which concluded on Tuesday, was aimed at strengthening economic ties and attracting investments to the central Indian state. During his interactions with investors and business leaders, the chief minister highlighted Madhya Pradesh’s growing economic potential and sought greater participation from UAE-based companies in the state’s development.

The chief minister’s UAE visit comes as Madhya Pradesh seeks to attract both domestic and international investment by showcasing its infrastructure, natural resources, industrial potential and policy environment.
During the three-day tour, Yadav engaged with investors and stakeholders to present opportunities available across various sectors and encourage them to explore projects in the state.
The investment proposals worth over Rs 53,000 crore mark a significant outcome of the visit, according to officials. The state government is expected to pursue these proposals and facilitate their progression into concrete investment commitments and projects.
The visit reflects Madhya Pradesh’s broader efforts to position itself as an attractive destination for global investors and accelerate economic development through investment in emerging and critical sectors.
