Raipur:The Investor Connect program held in Ahmedabad has brought a fresh wave of optimism for Chhattisgarh’s industrial landscape, with the state receiving investment proposals worth approximately ₹33,321 crore.

These investments are expected to generate over 14,900 new employment opportunities across the state. Notably, since the implementation of the new Industrial Policy, Chhattisgarh has attracted a cumulative ₹7.83 lakh crore in investment proposals.
During the Ahmedabad event, Chief Minister Sai engaged in detailed discussions with India’s top industrialists and business leaders about emerging opportunities in Chhattisgarh. Expressing enthusiasm, he said, “It is inspiring to be in Gujarat, the land of industry, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Every grain of Gujarat reflects enterprise, and there is no corner of the world without the presence of our Gujarati brothers.” He emphasized that Gujarat and Chhattisgarh together will play a pivotal role in building a Developed India.
Sai noted that just as Gujarat continues to drive the Indian and global economy, Chhattisgarh is advancing rapidly on its own path of growth. “If Gujarat has enterprise, Chhattisgarh has energy, minerals, skilled manpower, and an investor-friendly industrial policy — a combination that is no less than a blessing for investors,” he remarked.
Highlighting the state’s progressive reforms, the Chief Minister shared that over the past 22 months, the government has implemented more than 350 reforms to make the establishment of industries smoother and faster. Under the state’s Single Window System, approvals are being issued promptly. Sai further added that under the new industrial policy, special incentives and subsidies are being offered, with additional support for industries established in tribal-dominated regions such as Bastar and Surguja. To date, Chhattisgarh has received investment proposals exceeding ₹7.5 lakh crore.
Sai also underlined the state’s strong position in the energy sector, noting that Chhattisgarh ranks second nationally in coal production. “At the recent Energy Summit, we received investment proposals worth ₹3.5 lakh crore,” he said. The state, he added, holds vast potential in thermal, hydel, solar, and forest-based industries.
The Chief Minister highlighted plans to transform Naya Raipur into a dedicated IT and AI data center hub, attracting interest from semiconductor and electronics companies. He also pointed out that tourism has been accorded the status of an industry, opening new avenues for investment in hospitality and wellness sectors.
Among those present at the event were CSIDC Chairman Shri Rajeev Agrawal, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Shri Subodh Kumar Singh, Industries Secretary Shri Rajat Kumar, Secretary to the Chief Minister Shri Rahul Bhagat, and CSIDC Managing Director Shri Vishvesh Kumar, along with other senior officials.
