BHOPAL: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Global Investors Summit 2025 in Bhopal, Madhya Praadesh. In his address he highlighted India's growing global optimism.
PM Modi cited endorsements from the World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and United nations (UN) agencies, emphasizing India's leadership in economic growth, aerospace, solar power and supply chains. The PM highlighted that global optimism in India is driving investment and boosting states like Madhya Pradesh.
The Prime Minister also introduced 18 new policies by the Madhya Pradesh government to bring in big investments to the BJP-led state.
"Madhya Pradesh has a strong workforce and growing industries, making it a great place for business. This is the perfect time to invest here," he said.
He added that development in Madhya Pradesh has sped up since the 'double engine' government was formed. The state is now one of the leaders in India's electric vehicle revolution.
Talking about the health and wellness sector, he said there are many opportunities in this field. "The world is embracing the idea of 'Heal in India,'" he noted.
Modi also pointed out how much Madhya Pradesh has changed in the last 20 years. Earlier, the state had problems with electricity, water, and law and order, which made industrial growth difficult.
"But in the past two decades, with the support of the people, the BJP government focused on good governance. Earlier, investors avoided Madhya Pradesh, but now it is among the top states for investment," he said.
He also mentioned that a UN climate change body recently called India a "solar power superpower." "While many countries just talk about climate action, India is delivering real results," he added.
