Madhya Pradesh's government has launched a transformative Film and Tourism Policy-2025 at the recent Global Investors Summit in Bhopal.

The policy, praised for creating a favorable investment climate, prompted proposals over Rs 68,000 crore in tourism and film sectors, promising the creation of 1.2 lakh new jobs. Investment in films and tourism is further bolstered by increased grants, such as Rs 5 crore for feature films and Rs 12 crore for international projects.
