Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): India’s Multinational conglomerate company, the Andani Group, has announced to invest Rs 3.5k crore in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district. The announcement was made at the Regional Industry Conclave started in Gwalior on Wednesday.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav inaugurated the event in Gwalior by lighting the ceremonial lamp. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Narendra Singh Tomar, along with other ministers, were present in the event.
This is the third industry conclave organised in the state within 6 months, which has attracted industry heads of 9 different sectors, who are positively willing to bring their industries to the Gwalior-Chambal region. Earlier, conclaves were held in Ujjain in February and Jabalpur in July.
Investors more interested in Gwalior- Chambal region
In fact, industrialists seem more inclined towards Gwalior’s Regional Industry Conclave as compared to Ujjain and Jabalpur. Reason behind this is the district's proximity with 7 major road corridors of India. These pass through, or are near the Gwalior-Chambal region.
