The chief minister of Madhya Pradesh invited French companies to explore investment opportunities in the state and to take part in a 2027 summit aimed at strengthening bilateral trade.
The chief minister of Madhya Pradesh announced a formal invitation to French enterprises, urging them to consider setting up or expanding operations in the state. The outreach is part of a broader strategy to attract foreign direct investment and diversify the region's industrial base.
In a statement, the chief minister highlighted Madhya Pradesh's strategic location, skilled workforce, and ongoing infrastructure projects as key incentives for potential investors. Sectors such as renewable energy, automotive components, and information technology were identified as priority areas for collaboration.
The invitation also includes a call to French firms to attend a state‑hosted summit scheduled for 2027, which will showcase investment opportunities and facilitate dialogue between Indian policymakers and international business leaders. Organisers expect the event to draw participants from multiple countries, reinforcing India’s position as a hub for global trade.
Officials said the move aligns with recent efforts to deepen Indo‑French economic ties, following several bilateral agreements signed earlier this year. The chief minister expressed confidence that French participation will boost job creation and contribute to the state's growth trajectory.
