New Delhi:
In a significant move to bolster India’s economic growth, the Maharashtra government and Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) have signed a monumental Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland. This historic agreement, announced on January 22, 2025, involves an investment of Rs 3.05 lakh crore, poised to create over 300,000 job opportunities across various sectors.
The MoU, signed in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Anant Ambani, Non-Executive Director of RIL, is expected to drive employment in sectors such as new energy, retail, hospitality, and high-tech manufacturing. Anant Ambani emphasized the significance of this investment, stating that it aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a “New India” and reflects RIL’s commitment to contributing to the nation’s economic transformation.
Chief Minister Fadnavis expressed his gratitude to Anant Ambani and RIL, highlighting that this investment will be a massive boost to Maharashtra’s growth. He noted that the state has signed MoUs worth over Rs 6.25 lakh crore in a single day, underscoring the confidence in Maharashtra’s growth potential under PM Modi’s leadership.
The investment will be led by Anant Ambani and will span multiple sectors, including petrochemicals, polyester, renewable energy, bioenergy, green hydrogen, green chemicals, industrial development, retail, data centers, telecommunications, hospitality, and real estate. This comprehensive approach is part of RIL’s vision to make Maharashtra the first state with a USD 1 trillion economy.
In addition to the RIL deal, Maharashtra has secured several other significant investments during the WEF summit. Tata Group will invest Rs 30,000 crore in green energy and solar components, creating over 7,500 jobs. Other notable investments include Rs 17,000 crore by Balasore Alloys Ltd in steel and metals, generating 3,200 jobs, and Rs 16,500 crore by Reliance Infrastructure Ltd in the defence sector, which will create 2,450 jobs.
Chief Minister Fadnavis also engaged with various global business leaders, including Mastercard APAC president Ling Hai, LDC CEO Michael Gelchie, and Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S, to discuss investments in agriculture, food processing, international shipping, and IT advancements. These discussions are crucial to Maharashtra’s economic diversification strategy.
