According to the government of Chhattisgarh, the state has received investment proposals worth Rs 95.80 billion across sectors including data centres, semiconductors, solar equipment manufacturing, textiles, pharmaceuticals and dairy at an investor outreach programme held in Hyderabad.

The proposals, submitted by seven companies, are expected to generate around 7,800 direct jobs. The chief minister of Chhattisgarh handed over invitation letters to prospective investors at the event and urged Hyderabad-based companies, particularly those in the IT, pharmaceutical and logistics sectors, to explore opportunities in Chhattisgarh. He said the state is emerging as a preferred investment destination on the back of streamlined approvals, infrastructure development and industry-focused policies.

Among the key proposals, Hypernext Data Center Limited announced a planned investment of Rs 42 billion to set up a data centre in the state, a project expected to create around 250 jobs. Nivai Labs Private Limited proposed an investment of Rs 10 billion in semiconductor and graphics processing unit infrastructure, which the state government said could strengthen Chhattisgarh’s position in the digital and electronics ecosystem while generating approximately 200 jobs.
