MP: NITI Aayog to help develop Indore and Bhopal as G-hubs

Madhya Pradesh: NITI Aayog is assisting the state government in developing Indore and Bhopal as Growth Hubs (G-Hubs) for regional economic development.

The Commission is collecting relevant data from both districts through an online platform and will analyze it to identify growth-promoting areas, paving the way for a comprehensive and robust G-Hub plan.

NITI Aayog’s Principal Economic Advisor, Anna Roy, made these remarks during a meeting with top district officials at the Collector’s office on Friday. He stated that the initiative aims to develop an economic plan by assessing industrial development, infrastructure, human resources, investment potential, and institutional strengths, which will ultimately create jobs and advance the vision of a “prosperous Madhya Pradesh.” Roy emphasized that

Departmental and district-level information is being collected for the Indore Economic Region (IER) and Bhopal Economic Region (BER) to ensure that planning reflects the real needs and priorities of each region. This will make the planning process more accurate and effective.

Mobility and Urban Amenities

To promote economic growth, urban mobility, public transport, and traffic management will be incorporated into the economic plan. This will boost industrial and commercial activity and improve civic amenities, helping the Indore Economic Region develop a strong, inclusive, and sustainable development model.
