The Government of Madhya Pradesh has proposed two industrial infrastructure projects for which it has sought Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), approval.

Both the projects will come up close to Indore, Dewas and Ujjain. The first project, being developed by Madhya Pradesh Audyogik Kendra Vikas Nigam (Indore), is a water supply project which will come up in Pithampur industrial area near Indore. The project entails an investment of Rs 200 crore. It will have 90 million litre per day of supply once it materializes. If the project receives DMIC nod, it will have a water pipeline from nearby Narmada river.

The second is a multi-pronged investment project of developing a Knowledge City which is likely to come up near temple town of Ujjain. It envisages the development of nearly 448 ha to develop specialised faculty-led clusters such as engineering, business and management studies, medical studies, bio-sciences and agriculture studies, environmental and design faculty, vocational and skill development studies and other education streams. The developer requires 1,200 acre for which DMIC's clearance is awaited. 

Once the state government gets DMIC approval, it will develop both the projects on public private partnership (PPP) model.
