Mumbai, April 8:Maharashtra is ensuring smooth and uninterrupted facilities for investors, and an ecosystem is being created to attract investments across all regions of the state.

He was speaking at the ‘India Global Forum Next 25’ event held at the Jio World Centre in Bandra-Kurla Complex. Also present were Manoj Ladwa, Founder of India Global Forum, Sanjay Mukherjee, Metropolitan Commissioner of MMRDA, P. Anbalagan, Secretary of the Industries Department, and other prominent figures from the business community.

No Shortage of Skilled Workforce in Maharashtra

CM Fadnavis said that Maharashtra is creating new investment opportunities and supporting the global supply chain. The state is also leading in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India. In addition, many major national and international companies are already operating in Maharashtra.

To meet the workforce demands of these industries, a dedicated Skill University is functional, ensuring there is no shortage of skilled manpower in the state. He also highlighted the government’s focus on industries based on green and smart technologies.

MMR to Play Key Role in Trillion-Dollar Economy

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) will play a significant role in making Maharashtra a $3 trillion economy. Alone, the MMR region has the capacity to build a $1.5 trillion economy, which is why it is receiving focused attention.

Mumbai is already the FinTech capital, and a “Third Mumbai” is being developed in Navi Mumbai. This new area will include an EduCity and Innovation City. Notably, the EduCity is set to host one of the world’s largest universities, with five universities already in final stages of planning.

The Navi Mumbai International Airport is nearing completion, and the Atal Setu (Trans Harbour Link) has significantly improved connectivity to the airport and surrounding areas.
