The past year has seen a significant surge in investor interest in Jhansi, with 310 investment proposals received, committing to invest Rs 2,10,484 crore. Also, 130 of these investors have now signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the government.

Of the 130 investors who have signed MOUs,72 investors will set up units costing over Rs 10-10 crore, and their foundation stones will be laid during the Bhoomi Pujan ceremony in Lucknow. The remaining 58 investors will establish units costing less than Rs 10 crore.

Following the Bhoomi Pujan ceremony, announcements about the commencement of five solar plants, two private universities, and a Medical Education Institute are expected. Companies in the handloom and textile sector will also begin work, and two mega housing projects will commence. Additionally, micro, small, and medium-level companies will also start their operations.

A dedicated committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of the Chief Development Officer in Jhansi to implement the MoUs for investment. This committee includes officials from 22 different departments related to investors, and it will meet every 15 days to resolve the issues raised by the investors. Previously, this work was done in the District Udyog Bandhu meetings, but now a separate committee is being constituted for this purpose.
