These two projects will result in an investment of Rs 3,500 crore and create over 3,500 direct and indirect jobs," he said.
"Under Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Madhya Pradesh is becoming a standout example of economic growth. I am proud to say that the Adani Group is deeply committed to this vision at the both national and state level. In Madhya Pradesh, we have already invested Rs 18,250 crores and created 12,000 jobs.
