Billionaire Gautam Adani’s group, Reliance Industries and state-owned power producer NTPC were among over a dozen companies that on Monday committed to invest about Rs 4 lakh crore across businesses in Madhya Pradesh, amid a high-voltage showcase by the state of its vast opportunities and investment potential.

While Adani promised Rs 1.10 lakh crore in pumped storage, cement, mining, smart meters, and thermal energy, Reliance committed Rs 60,000 crore to set up biofuel projects in the state.

Madhya Pradesh can potentially increase the size of its economy by 18 times to USD 2.1 trillion (Rs 248.6 lakh crore) by 2047-48, according to a report by industry body CII. The state needs to focus on boosting the manufacturing industry and industrial expansion, it said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
