Madhya Pradesh plays a crucial role in India’s agricultural economy, particularly in soybean and wheat production. “The state processes nearly five lakh tons of soybeans annually and over one lakh tons of wheat. This makes it an ideal hub for our expansion,” Balkrishna added.
Beyond food processing and Ayurveda, Patanjali is keen on making inroads into the renewable energy and IT manufacturing sectors. It has signaled a shift toward a more diversified and sustainable business model.
The investment is likely to generate employment, boost local industries, and enhance self-reliance in the food processing and healthcare sectors.
Madhya Pradesh continues to attract major investments, thanks to its strong agricultural foundation and pro-business environment. The state government has been actively fostering industrial growth by streamlining regulations, improving infrastructure, and ensuring ease of doing business.
