Mumbai:
The Madhya Pradesh government will organise a two-day global investors meet
in Bhopal from October 26, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan said in London. He
said the state offered vast scope for overseas investments in sectors like infrastructure,
agro-processing, automobiles, IT, and development of tourist spots. Chauhan
said Madhya Pradesh had developed a "single table" clearance for all
investment projects. He
said the mineral-rich state has also abundant skilled manpower, electricity, water
and historic tourist spots and investors failing to invest now would regret it
after five years. Madhya
Pradesh, meanwhile, has already attracted Rs11,000 crore investments from the
US and Rs80 crore from the UK - mostly from NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul
- state officials said. Chauhan,
who was in the UK capital to extend a personal invitation to businesses interested
in investing in the state, said overseas delegates attending the meet would be
treated as "state guests" and that the state government would take care
of their boarding and lodging. He
also addressed an interactive session with potential investors at
the India House, organised by the High Commission. The
chief minister, accompanied by a large business delegation, is also scheduled
to visit the US.
