PM Modi Inaugurates Global Investors Summit 2025 in Bhopal

Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today inaugurated the Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2025 in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

Addressing the gathering, he apologised for the delay of his entry to the event as there were board exams for the 10th and 12th standard students and his security measures en route to the event could have caused inconvenience to the students. Shri Modi said it was his immense pride to welcome the investors and business leaders in the land of Raja Bhoj. He added that today’s event was important as a Viksit Madhya Pradesh or developed Madhya Pradesh is necessary for the journey towards Viksit Bharat. He congratulated the Government of Madhya Pradesh for the wonderful organization of the summit.

“The whole world is optimistic about India”, exclaimed Shri Modi said that it was the first time such an opportunity had risen in the history of India. He added that be it common citizens policy experts institutions or countries of the world, everyone had a lot of expectations from India. He highlighted that the comments received in the last few weeks about India will raise the enthusiasm of investors. Recalling the recent statement by the World Bank that India will continue to remain the fastest-growing economy, the Prime Minister highlighted that a representative from the OECD remarked, “The future of the world is in India.” He added that recently, a UN organization on climate change declared India as a solar power superpower. This organization also mentioned that while many countries only talk, India delivers results. Shri Modi noted that a new report revealed how India is emerging as an excellent supply chain for global aerospace firms. These firms view India as a solution to global supply chain challenges. The Prime Minister quoted various examples showcasing the world’s confidence in India, which is also boosting the confidence of every Indian state. This confidence is evident at the Global Summit in Madhya Pradesh, he said.

“Over the past decade, significant reforms have been accelerated at the national level, now reforms are being encouraged at the state and local levels as well”, said the Prime Minister discussing the State De-regulation Commission mentioned in the budget. He noted that continuous dialogue is being maintained with the states and over 40,000 compliances have been reduced in recent years in collaboration with the states. Additionally, 1,500 obsolete laws have been eliminated, he added. The Prime Minister emphasized that the objective is to identify regulations that hinder the ease of doing business and the De-regulation Commission will help create an investment-friendly regulatory ecosystem in the states.

“Textile, Tourism, and Technology sectors will play a significant role in India’s developed future and create crores of new jobs”, exclaimed the Prime Minister. He highlighted that India is the second-largest producer of cotton, silk, polyester, and viscose. He noted that the textile sector provides employment to crores and that India has a rich tradition, skills, and entrepreneurship in textiles. Madhya Pradesh, being the cotton capital of India, contributes to around 25 per cent of the country’s organic cotton supply and is the largest producer of mulberry silk while the state’s Chanderi and Maheshwari sarees are highly appreciated and have received the GI Tag, he added. He emphasized that investments in this sector will significantly help Madhya Pradesh’s textiles make a global impact.

Reiterating his statement from the Red Fort, the Prime Minister concluded that now is the right time for investment and increasing investment in Madhya Pradesh.
