New Delhi/Bhopal: In a major recognition of its investor-friendly governance, Madhya Pradesh has been honored as a “Top Achiever State” in four business-centric reform areas — Business Entry, Labor Regulation Enablers, Land Administration, and Services Sector — under the Business Reform Action Plan (BRAP) 2024.
The award was presented by Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, to Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav at the Udyog Sammelan held at Sushma Swaraj Bhawan, New Delhi.
This honor places Madhya Pradesh among India’s top-performing states in the field of Ease of Doing Business, reaffirming its status as a fast-emerging hub for industrial growth and innovation.
CM Dr. Mohan Yadav: “We’ve Turned Ease of Doing Business into Speed, Scale, and Skill”
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh is continuously working to promote industries and build an investment-friendly environment. He credited the central government’s leadership for giving new direction to India’s industrial development.
He emphasized that Ease of Doing Business in Madhya Pradesh goes beyond policy reforms, focusing instead on “Speed, Scale, and Skill” of business operations.
“We have simplified legal complexities through the Public Trust Act and established an environment of trust among investors. The MP e-Seva portal has integrated over 1,700 services from 56 departments, ensuring transparent and efficient governance,” the Chief Minister said.
Dr. Yadav added that regional industry conclaves, a successful Global Investors Summit in Bhopal, and reforms like SAMPADA 2.0 have helped Madhya Pradesh strengthen its industrial identity nationally.

He announced that under the Public Confidence Bill 2024, 64 sections across eight Acts of five departments have been amended to simplify processes.
During the Global Investors Summit 2025, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state launched 18 new industrial policies and laid the foundation for the country’s largest PM MITRA Textile Park in Dhar.
