Washington: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister
Shivraj Singh Chouhan has invited US industry majors to invest
in his state, positioning it as the logistics and
manufacturing hub of India in a post-GST regime offering
business-friendly policies.
Chouhan, in a series of meetings with US industry
representatives and leaders of the corporate world here has
invited them to invest in his state.
In Rewa, he said, world's largest solar power plant is
under construction where the electricity would be sold at a
record Rs 2.93 per unit, the cheapest in the world.
Referring to his drive from the airport to the city,
Chouhan said the roads in Madhya Pradesh seem to be better
than that of Washington DC.
In his presentation, Mohammed Suleman, Principal
Secretary said that in new GST regime, we are at the best
location to take products across the country.
Post GST, Madhya Pradesh would be the most attractive
destination for manufacturing in Indiam he said.
Madhya Pradesh, because of its location touches almost
50 per cent of the population of the country, so any facility
which is in Madhya Pradesh can easily transport its
manufacturing product to the rest of the country.
The Deputy Indian Ambassador to the US, Santosh Jha said
Chouhan is leading a state that is increasingly setting the
bar, adding that increasingly his experimentations in Madhya
Pradesh are becoming national plans.
