Madhya Pradesh is rapidly strengthening its position in India's technology landscape, with state’s Chief Minister (CM) Dr Mohan Yadav asserting on Monday that the state government has delivered on the commitments it made to promote investment and innovation.

The Chief Minister inaugurated the MP Tech Growth Conclave 3.0: GCC, Data Centre and Semiconductor at Hotel Taj Lakefront on Monday, marking a significant milestone in the state's technology-driven growth journey. The event began with the screening of a short film highlighting the development of Global Capability Centres (GCCs), data centres and semiconductor technology in Madhya Pradesh.

During the event, CM Dr Yadav also inaugurated 20 industrial units and witnessed the signing of an important Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India Lead for Google Play and the Madhya Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation (MPSEDC).

'India has entered a new era of growth,' says CM

Addressing the gathering, CM Dr Yadav said India was undergoing a major transformation under the leadership of Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi. He remarked that the period when India's potential was undermined had passed, and the country was now showcasing its capabilities through talent, intelligence, skills and innovation.

"We cannot continue blaming difficult times forever. The present era demands understanding opportunities and moving forward," CM Dr Yadav said.

He added that 12 years of the PM Modi government's tenure had helped India establish itself as one of the world's fastest-growing economies. According to him, this period has witnessed a significant change in India's global identity.

MP expands beyond traditional sectors

Highlighting Madhya Pradesh's transformation, CM Dr Yadav said the state's identity was earlier limited to agriculture, mining and forests. However, the state is now making rapid progress in sectors ranging from defence and drones to science and technology, renewable energy, industrial corridors and future-oriented industries.

The Chief Minister said it was a matter of pride that the MP Tech Growth Conclave had reached its third edition. He claimed that commitments made during the last two years had been fulfilled, with investment proposals worth Rs 46,000 crore received through the first two editions. He added that 22 new industrial units had been inaugurated and foundation stones laid for four new projects.

Since the Global Investors Summit 2025, investments exceeding Rs 12,000 crore in the technology sector have already materialised, reflecting the state's growing pace and confidence, he said.
