The investments will be distributed across various sectors, including electronics, steel, solar energy, electric buses and trucks, defense, and related industries. These industries will be set up in different regions of the state, including North Maharashtra, Pune, Vidarbha, and Konkan.
Fadnavis emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring a smooth and easy experience for investors in Maharashtra. He stated, 'The state government will be with them as a partner at every stage of investment, not just by signing MoUs. We are dedicated to making the investment process as seamless as possible.'
To facilitate this, the government has introduced the Maitri portal, a single-window system designed to streamline the process of obtaining land, permits, and other necessary approvals for industries. Investors can now get these approvals promptly, reducing the time and effort required to set up their operations.
In addition to the investment and job creation initiatives, Fadnavis also highlighted recent energy-related decisions. He mentioned that a five-year multi-year tariff has been approved in the state, which will lead to a gradual reduction in electricity rates. 'Electricity rates are going to come down year by year. Earlier, electricity rates used to increase by 9 percent annually, but now they will decrease. This will be a significant relief for industries,' he said.
These measures are part of the government's broader strategy to boost the industrial and economic landscape of Maharashtra, making it an attractive destination for both domestic and international investors. The focus on diverse sectors and regions within the state aims to create a balanced and sustainable economic growth model, benefiting a wide range of stakeholders.
The signing of these MoUs is a testament to the government's proactive approach in addressing the needs of the business community and the local population. By fostering an environment conducive to investment and job creation, the Maharashtra government is laying a strong foundation for future economic prosperity.
