He said the initiative would focus on ensuring that the benefits of investment reach different sections of society and all regions of Maharashtra.

What makes this especially meaningful is the focus on ensuring that the benefits of investment reach MSMEs, local businesses, youth, farmers and every region of Maharashtra. With 'Mumbai 3' and 'Mumbai 4' taking shape, alongside Education Cities, Medicities and AI & Innovation Cities, Maharashtra is opening new avenues for growth and opportunity. The vision of a $1 trillion economy by 2030 adds further momentum to this journey. More than attracting investment, the larger goal is creating opportunities, empowering people and building a stronger, more prosperous Maharashtra for generations to come. Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha ji, Minister Adv. Ashish Shelar, Minister Jaykumar Rawal, Minister Sanjay Sawkare, Minister Uday Samant and other dignitaries were present, Fadnavis said.

In a separate post, Fadnavis highlighted the scale of the investments and their potential to create jobs across key sectors.
