Godrej Industries Limited is preparing to launch a new factory in Madhya Pradesh later this year, according to its Chairman and Managing Director, Nadir Godrej.
Speaking to ANI during the Madhya Pradesh Global Investor Summit 2025 (GIS-2025), Godrej highlighted the company’s ongoing investments in the region.
“We have had a large factory in Malanpur for many years and at the last investment conference we had promised to increase our capacity and we have already invested 450 crores there and the work is going on and we hope to inaugurate the factory later this year,” he said.
He also discussed the company’s plans to expand beyond its existing operations, particularly in the real estate sector.
“We are doing something in Indore we recently started. And Godrej Agrovet is also very active in Madhya Pradesh because, as the Prime Minister (PM Narendra Modi) said, it is a farming state, so we are very active here,” he added.
Godrej further outlined the company’s contributions to agriculture in the state. “We provide animal feed; we also provide agrichemicals, plant growth promoters, pesticides, weedicide and all that; and so all those activities are going on here (in Madhya Pradesh) and Goodrich Capital Non-Bank Financing Corporation is also starting in Madhya Pradesh now,” he said.
Additionally, he noted that the company continuously seeks ideas from the government and requests support for business expansion in the state.
Godrej mentioned his meeting with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, expressing confidence in further investments in the region.
The Madhya Pradesh Global Investor Summit 2025 (GIS-2025) aims to drive economic growth by attracting significant investments and fostering partnerships with international businesses. The event, featuring leading industrialists, diplomats, and global trade organizations, is expected to strengthen Madhya Pradesh’s position as a key investment destination in India, according to the state government.
