Maharashtra Secures Major Investment Commitments at WEF

The Maharashtra government signed memorandums of understanding worth ₹14.5 lakh crore on the opening day of the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos. The agreements were announced after the inauguration of the Maharashtra pavilion, led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, as part of the state’s global investment outreach.

Sectors Covered by the MoUs

The investment commitments span multiple sectors including infrastructure, manufacturing, renewable energy, logistics, digital services, data centres, and urban development. Officials said the proposals reflect sustained investor interest in Maharashtra’s industrial ecosystem and large consumer base.

Employment and Economic Impact

State officials indicated that the proposed investments have the potential to generate significant employment across regions of Maharashtra once projects move from the agreement stage to execution. The government highlighted that improving ease of doing business and infrastructure readiness have played a key role in attracting commitments.

Investment Push Continues

The state delegation is expected to hold further meetings with global investors during the remaining days of the WEF summit, with additional announcements likely as discussions progress.
