On day one of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Maharashtra announced groundbreaking investment deals totaling ₹4.99 lakh crore, poised to create over 92,000 jobs across critical industries, including defence, renewable energy, steel, and IT.
The JSW Group spearheaded this wave of investment with a staggering ₹3 lakh crore commitment to steel, renewable energy, cement, and electric vehicles. This initiative alone will generate 10,000 jobs in Nagpur and Gadchiroli. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis hailed Chairman Sajjan Jindal for driving Maharashtra’s transformation. In a historic first, Gadchiroli—long marginalized in industrial development—secured a ₹5,200 crore deal with Kalyani Group, bringing 4,000 jobs to the region.
Momentum surged across sectors. Reliance Infrastructure pledged ₹16,500 crore in Ratnagiri, while Wari Energy committed ₹30,000 crore to solar devices in Nagpur. In food and beverages, AB InBev and Bisleri injected ₹750 crore and ₹250 crore, respectively. Maharashtra’s bold, investor-friendly policies fueled this extraordinary economic leap.
