Promising single window clearances, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today invited industrialists from the region to invest in his state.
"Our industrial policy is investor friendly. We can give power on a 24X7 basis to industries. Moreover, there is no trade unionism and the law and order is good," Chauhan told industry captains here.
Stating that the government has created a land pool and some 20,000 hectares are available, which can be given easily to industries, Chauhan said, "I am the CEO of Madhya Pradesh and not just the CM," and promised single window clearances and industry-friendly policies.
The BJP chief minister was here as part of visiting top cities across India, seeking participation in 'invest Madhya Pradesh Global Investors Summit' scheduled to be held in Indore between October 8 and 10.
"Investors can meet me every Monday even without having an appointment. You won't face any problems when you come to our state," Chouhan said.
Senior government officials said the focus was on attracting investments in the textile industry, as Madhya Pradesh was one of the major producers of cotton, producing 20 lakh bales in the last season.
Agriculture contributed about 60 per cent of state GDP, which stood at USD 40 billion at constant prices in 2013-14, while industry and services accounted for only about 20 per cent each.
Madhya Pradesh is aiming to increase the share of industry in GSDP in its drive to become an industrialised state, officials said.
Chauhan is the second chief minister to visit this textile and pump major city as Karnataka chief minister, Siddaramaiah held a road show in January urging industrialists to invest in Chamarajnagar, which has attracted investment worth Rs 120 crore.
