THERE is every possibility of Madhya Pradesh becoming an air cargo hub like Delhi, said Chief Minister Yadav, reports Chhattisgarh's Central Chronicle.
Now air transport and cargo facilities are being expanded in the state, Dr Yadav told the recent annual Conclave-2024 of Air Cargo Forum India that he was optimistic that such an outcome would come about.
Dr Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh is the only state where interstate air service has been started. PM Shri Air Ambulance service has been started in the state, in which apart from able-bodied persons, Ayushman card holders are also being benefited.
Heli service has also been started to promote tourism in the state. From this point of view, adequate infrastructure is developed in the state for air transportation as well as air cargo.
Dr Yadav said that the construction of a cargo hub in the state will help explore the resources of the state, promoting trade and increasing employment opportunities.
To make Madhya Pradesh a business centre in the future, a desk named 'Future Ready Madhya Pradesh' has also been prepared. The pace of economic growth of the state is more than 20 per cent and the rate of agricultural development is 25 per cent. In the state budget presented yesterday, 16 per cent more allocation has been made as compared to the previous budget.
Dr Yadav said that products worth US$6 billion are transported through air cargo in Madhya Pradesh. He said that from this point of view, there is immense potential for the air cargo industry in Madhya Pradesh. Dr Yadav invited the air cargo industry to participate in the development of the state and invest in the state.
