Maharashtra has been actively working to position itself as an economic powerhouse in India. With its diverse industrial base and robust infrastructure, the state continues to attract interest from global investors. The focus at WEF 2025 will be on signing agreements in critical sectors, including green energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, information technology, and financial services.
A state government official highlighted the significance of this effort, stating that the target of ₹7 trillion in MoUs aligns with Maharashtra’s long-term vision of sustainable economic growth and job creation. “This ambitious target underscores Maharashtra’s commitment to becoming a global investment hub,” the official said.
