The central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has secured investment proposals worth Rs 60,000 crore from the United Kingdom during Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s recent visit to that country. Yadav, at the conclusion of his UK tour, stated that substantial investments were secured across sectors, including healthcare, industry, mining, services, and agriculture, where significant interest was shown.

"I am delighted to know that people working here in the UK have a lot of interest in Madhya Pradesh, and we are hoping for good investment. They are fully aware of our investment-friendly schemes and attitude.”
During his visit, Yadav also met representatives of companies such as the Indorama Group, SRAM & MRAM Group, Cyanconnode, Hybrid Air Vehicles Limited, Clinisupplies, Aurora Energy Research, Elsevier, WeDeliver, Capro, Wavesight, The Montcalm Luxury Hotels, Phyla Earth, Ampergia Limited, Ayana Consulting, Pangaea Data Ltd, Invergy, BEM Group Ltd, DAX FIRST, Ransat Group, Cogo Ecotech Solutions, Empathy AI, Money for Business Limited, DAM Healthcare Limited, and Helion.
He also had detailed discussions on accelerating industrial development and opportunities for possible cooperation. The chief minister informed potential investors about the favourable business environment in the state as well as investment facilities.
During his visit to Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), Yadav emphasised that research and academic studies are truly meaningful when they benefit society. Efforts will be made to affiliate universities and technical institutions in Madhya Pradesh with WMG to foster a collaborative exchange of ideas and practices, he said. He also highlighted that Madhya Pradesh has immense potential in the automotive sector, and announced plans to explore opportunities for his state's youth to gain expertise at WMG while also inviting their experts to train professionals in MP.
Yadav described WMG as a stellar global model for promoting innovation in science and engineering through public-private partnerships. He lauded the group for expanding academic activities and enabling the practical implementation of the state’s vision to empower youth leadership and innovation.
“India is a very important partner for us, and it was a pleasure for us to have the Chief Minister visit the university,” Warwick Manufacturing Group Dean Clark said.
