RPG Group Explores Transmission, Tyre, IT Investments in Madhya Pradesh

The RPG Group will explore investment opportunities in Madhya Pradesh in the transmission, tyre manufacturing and information technology sectors, among others. The possibilities were discussed during a meeting between Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav and RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka in Mumbai.

The meeting was held at Hotel The St. Regis in Mumbai as part of the ‘Dialogue on Investment Opportunities in Madhya Pradesh’ programme. The discussion took place on Thursday, 8 October 2026. The focus was on identifying areas and locations where the group could consider setting up new industrial units in the state.

During the meeting, Harsh Goenka expressed the group’s interest in investing in Jabalpur and working in the electricity transmission sector. The discussion covered the possibilities of using Madhya Pradesh’s industrial infrastructure, geographical location, skilled workforce and investment-friendly policies to establish new industrial units.

The RPG Group also discussed the possibility of setting up a tyre manufacturing unit in Madhya Pradesh. The state’s central geographical location and the availability of raw materials were considered in this context.

Ratlam, Sagar and Jabalpur emerged as possible locations for the proposed tyre plant during the discussion. The group may consider the next steps after assessing the industrial facilities available at these locations and other requirements linked to the proposed investment.

Investment opportunities in the information technology sector were also discussed positively. The RPG Group team expressed its willingness to visit possible investment locations and assess the facilities available there as well as the business prospects.

In this connection, the possibility of using the plug-and-play facilities available at the IT Built-up Park in Ujjain was also discussed. These ready facilities could give the group an opportunity to begin its activities in the IT sector through existing infrastructure.

The meeting also covered issues connected with moving the possible projects forward. These included the availability of suitable land, the permissions required for the projects, incentives and support through a single-window system.

Emphasis was placed on identifying priority investment proposals and potential locations so that the further process could be made easier. The discussions were aimed at taking forward the investment possibilities in the sectors identified during the meeting.
