CM Fadnavis revealed that 39 percent of India’s total Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) last year flowed into Maharashtra, making it the leading state for investment. The state has implemented 15–16 progressive policies that have created a strong, reliable ecosystem for investors.
Maharashtra’s $1 Trillion Economy Vision
Speaking at the Sakal Media Group’s Global Impact Forum, CM Fadnavis said Maharashtra has maintained an average growth rate of over 10 percent in the past decade. The state is on track to become India’s first trillion-dollar economy by 2032, with an ambitious target to achieve this milestone by 2030.
Despite global geopolitical challenges, international agencies consider India a “bright spot” in the global economy, he said, adding that Maharashtra continues to sustain high growth and attract substantial investments.
WEF: A Global Investment Platform
Calling the WEF Annual Meeting a global marketplace for industries and investors, CM Fadnavis said Maharashtra showcases its strengths and capabilities at Davos every year. He expressed confidence that investment inflows this year would surpass last year’s figures, noting that Maharashtra leads the country in converting investment commitments into actual projects. Nearly 60–65 agreements have already been successfully implemented, he added.
Diverse Investments Across the State
CM Fadnavis stated that investments are being planned across all geographical regions of Maharashtra, with focus on 10 to 12 diverse sectors. He highlighted that the development of “Third Mumbai” is gaining momentum and is expected to attract major investments. “We have a strong investment menu, and we are confident of successfully attracting global investors,” he said.
Zurich, Jan 19: Maharashtra has emerged as India’s most trusted destination for foreign investment, said Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, asserting that the state delivers on its commitments, which has strengthened global investor confidence.
“Maharashtra is credible. We do what we promise. That is why investors across the world trust us,” CM Fadnavis said while interacting with the media at the Maharashtra Pavilion during the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos. He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid a strong foundation for a ‘Developed India’ by creating a robust ecosystem that continues to attract large-scale investments.
Describing Maharashtra as the “Gateway of India for investments,” the Chief Minister said healthy competition among Indian states ultimately benefits the nation, while expressing pride that Maharashtra continues to lead in attracting investments.
