(MENAFN- KNN India) Indore, Dec 13 (KNN) The Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC) regional office in Indore has received investment proposals exceeding Rs 200 crore for the establishment of textile and garment industries in Jhanjharwada, Neemuch, with Rajasthan-based firms contributing over 20 per cent of the total, reported TOI.

The industry department is planning to expand the existing Jhanjharwada industrial belt near the Neemuch border area of Madhya Pradesh, due to the overwhelming response from potential investors, reported TOI.

Seeking to draw investments from neighbouring states, the MPIDC has put forth a proposal to expand industrial areas in Mandsaur, Neemuch, Burhanpur, and Agar-Malwa.

In addition to textile and clothing companies from Madhya Pradesh, South India, and Rajasthan, the Jhanjharwada industrial zone has also drawn investments from engineering and glass manufacturers in the past year, reported TOI.
