the manufacturing, hi-tech, renewables and food processing sectors

 

The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Eknath Shinde, concluded his World

Economic Forum 2023 (WEF) meetings at Davos, on a successful note, paving the

way for accelerated growth for Maharashtra and India.

business and political leaders, which resulted in the signing of 19 MOUs with

globally and nationally renowned companies such as Berkshire Hathaway, ICP

investments, New Era CleanTech, Gogoro India, Greenko Energy Projects, Mahindra

Electric Vehicle Automobile and several more.

 

Offering a vibrant economic climate, ease of doing business, robust

infrastructure, and decisive leadership these investments are spread across

Maharashtra and will lead to uniform economic growth across all the districts

in the state. With the economy recovering rapidly from the slowdown caused by

the Covid-19 pandemic, these investments will create over 100,000 jobs in

ago.

I am extremely happy with the outcome of my meetings. With these global

investments, across key growth sectors spread across the state, we have laid

down the foundation for accelerated economic growth of Maharashtra and India.

Maharashtra's unique position as the gateway to India. I will continue to lead

the state's efforts for rapid economic growth in order to achieve our $1

trillion GDP goal."
