Where was the Global Investors Summit – 2023 held in Madhya Pradesh?
- (a)Bhopal
- (b)Gwalior
- (c)Ujjain
- (d)Indore
Correct — D, Indore. The 'Invest Madhya Pradesh – Global Investors Summit 2023' was held on 11–12 January 2023 at the Brilliant Convention Centre, Indore — Madhya Pradesh's largest city and its principal commercial/industrial hub, which the state government chose to host its flagship investment-promotion event.
- (a)Bhopal — Madhya Pradesh's political capital, but the summit was hosted in Indore, the state's commercial hub, not in Bhopal.
- (b)Gwalior — A major MP city known for its fort and heritage, not the venue of this investment summit.
- (c)Ujjain — Known chiefly as a religious/pilgrimage centre (Mahakaleshwar temple, Simhastha), not an industrial-summit venue.
The Global Investors Summit (GIS) is Madhya Pradesh's flagship investment-promotion event, organised by the state government to attract domestic and foreign investment across sectors such as agriculture, textiles, automobiles and IT/ITeS.
MPPSC frequently tests the venue/date of recurring state-government events; students often confuse Bhopal (the political capital) with Indore (the commercial/industrial capital), since both are prominent MP cities.
- The 2023 edition was held on 11–12 January 2023 at the Brilliant Convention Centre, Indore.
- Delegates from dozens of countries attended, and investors signed MoUs with the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC).
- Indore, not Bhopal, is Madhya Pradesh's largest city and its main commercial/industrial hub.
- GIS is organised periodically to showcase MP's investment opportunities across sectors.
- Assuming the summit was held in Bhopal because it is the capital — it was held in Indore
- Mixing up MP's Global Investors Summit with similarly named summits held by other states
MPPSC tests venue + year of MP's recurring government events with a 'Where/When was X summit held' phrasing — pin the city, not just the state.
