CM Mohan Yadav Opens Manufacturing Unit of Germany’s Benecor Group in Bhopal, Tells How It Will Benefit People
Bhopal is rapidly emerging as a modern manufacturing hub in Central India, bringing significant benefits to the local youth, families, and the environment. The new Rs 160 crore ‘hygiene non-woven’ manufacturing unit—established by the German-based ‘Benecke Group’ and inaugurated virtually by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav—marks a major milestone. It serves as a powerful example of how international technology can be directly harnessed for the betterment of society.
Employment and Skill Development Close to Home
CM Mohan Yadav said that for the youth of Bhopal and the entire state of Madhya Pradesh, industrial growth translates into job opportunities without the need for migration. This unit will generate a substantial number of direct and indirect jobs, while also providing specialized technical training to young people. With plans to double its capacity within three years, the facility offers local youth the chance to build a stable, modern career within their own home state.
Affordable and Accessible Health Products for Women and Children
CM said the plant produces ‘hygiene non-woven’ material, a key component in the manufacturing of sanitary napkins and baby diapers. Previously, this material had to be imported; its domestic production will now alleviate supply chain bottlenecks and contribute to an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India). Local production ensures that families have reliable and easy access to essential health and hygiene products, leading to direct improvements in the daily lives and well-being of women and children.
Clean and Green Industrial Progress
CM Mohan Yadav said unlike traditional factories that often place a strain on local resources, this unit has been constructed in adherence to stringent ‘green building’ standards. It does not use a boiler at all and is designed to minimize water wastage. While preserving the local environment of Acharpura, it will generate approximately Rs 300 crore in annual economic activity—demonstrating how modern industry can foster community development without harming the environment.
