Madhya Pradesh reached significant milestones in 2025, with Chief Minister Mohan Yadav declaring the state Naxal-free after decades of Maoist violence, while the year also saw the long-awaited disposal of toxic Union Carbide waste, and the tragic death of 24 kids due to a contaminated cough syrup. The state observed 2025 as Industry Year and organized Global Investors Summit (GIS) for the first time in Bhopal, positioning itself as a top investment destination. The government focused on promoting tourism, especially in religious and wildlife sectors. Already enjoying the status of a tiger state', Madhya Pradesh will also be home to a third habitat for cheetahs - which will come up in Sagar district. Forty-one years after the Bhopal gas tragedy, toxic waste lying at the defunct Union Carbide factory was moved out and incinerated at a facility in Pithampur industrial town near Indore, a months-long process which saw opposition from local residents and environmentalists.
