Integrated Industrial Corridor to Connect Jabalpur, Bhopal and Indore: CM Mohan Yadav: Madhya Pradesh to Develop India’s Largest Integrated Industrial Belt
Madhya Pradesh CM Dr. Mohan Yadav said the 600-km Jabalpur-Bhopal-Indore Integrated Industrial Corridor would drive industrial growth across Madhya Pradesh’s eastern, central and western regions.
Connecting the metropolitan regions of Jabalpur, Bhopal and Indore, the project is expected to accelerate development across seven districts and adjoining areas by integrating industry, agriculture, logistics, technology and services. It will advance the state’s vision of creating India’s largest integrated industrial belt.
CM addressed a felicitation programme at Samvad Bhawan, his official residence, on Friday. Representatives of the Mahakaushal Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Jabalpur’s industrial sector and various business organisations felicitated CM and thanked him for the Cabinet’s approval of the project. Public Works Minister Shri Rakesh Singh and Chamber President Shri Ravi Gupta were present.
Land identification and master planning to be completed in 3 to 6 months
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said land identification and master planning would be completed within three to six months, with industrial zones and essential infrastructure to be developed over the following six to twelve months.
The state government has prepared a roadmap to develop 10,000 acres of industrial land, attract investment worth ₹1 lakh crore and generate more than 3 lakh direct and indirect jobs by the end of March 2028. A special purpose vehicle (SPV), wholly owned by the state government, will be established to implement the project, with an initial investment of ₹100 crore.
Region-Specific Industrial Growth
CM said the Mahakoshal region, particularly Jabalpur, would benefit significantly. The state’s cultural capital, Jabalpur; administrative capital, Bhopal; and industrial capital, Indore, will be connected through a unified industrial network.
Jabalpur is envisaged as a major centre for engineering, defence manufacturing, aerospace ancillaries, food processing and logistics. Narsinghpur and Raisen districts will benefit from agricultural processing and food parks.Bhopal will be developed as a hub for technology, electronics, IT, knowledge services and shared business infrastructure.
Sehore-Dewas will see opportunities in food processing and warehousing, while Indore will attract investment in IT, advanced manufacturing, logistics and other sectors. Dr. Yadav said investors would have access to essential infrastructure, including electricity, water and roads, making Madhya Pradesh a preferred investment destination.
Boost to Employment and Business Opportunities
CM Dr. Mohan Yadav said industrialists played an important role in generating employment and supporting livelihoods. The state government was developing facilities across sectors while considering the needs of businesses of all sizes. He said the project would bring investment opportunities closer to businesses and accelerate regional development, with the government committed to making the necessary arrangements for its implementation at the earliest.
