Industry in Madhya Pradesh is largely resource driven, leveraging the states natural wealth in the form of limestone, coal, soya, cotton, bauxite, iron-ore, silica etc. Therefore the state has a strong industrial base in sectors like textile, cement, steel, soya processing and optical fibers.

However there have been a few exceptions to the resource driven industrialisation rule and the State as a result of its aggressive incentive policies and strong solicitation/facilitation in the past has developed a strong base in the Auto, auto ancillary and pharmaceutical sectors.
