MoUs worth \u20b914.50 lakh crore were signed on the very first day, which reflects global recognition of Maharashtra\u2019s leadership in India\u2019s growth story. In addition, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) secured a record amount of MoUs in terms of FDIs in the infrastructure development of the MMR. Remarkably, while Maharashtra\u2019s achievement in the entire conference last year was MoUs worth \u20b915.70 lakh crore, this year the gain on the first day itself was very close to this figure. This demonstrates the renewed faith and confidence of the industry leaders in Maharashtra under the dynamic CM Devendra Fadnavis. This massive investment is expected to create approximately 15 lakh new jobs in various sectors across the state in the coming days, giving a major boost to the state&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Glimpses from Davos! | Maharashtra Investment|\u091c\u093e\u0917\u0924\u093f\u0915 \u0917\u0941\u0902\u0924\u0935\u0923\u0942\u0915\u0926\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0902\u091a\u0940 \u092a\u0939\u093f\u0932\u0940 \u092a\u0938\u0902\u0924\u0940 \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zDAry5gIcYo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the Maharashtra government&#8217;s Industries, Investment, and Services departments signed 19 crucial agreements on the first day.

It acts as a facilitator for 31 services across 8 departments, reducing bureaucratic hurdles and offering grievance redressal for investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis\u2019s Davos visit proved critical as Maharashtra netted massive investments in industries and infrastructure. While inaugurating the Maharashtra Pavilion in Davos, he called Maharashtra the powerhouse of India&#8217;s future. Global companies are considering Maharashtra a reliable and long-term partner for investment, especially due to the introduction of MAITRI (Maharashtra Industry, Trade and Investment Facility), a single-window portal through which the investors will get all necessary information, G2B (Government-to-Business) assistance and obtain the necessary approvals. MAITRI considerably improves ease of doing business providing direct access to 31 services across 8 departments and fast tracking grievance redressal, which bypasses bureaucratic hurdles and helps investors set up industries promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the spectacular first day in the 2026 World Economic Forum, Davos, more deals are expected to come Maharashtra\u2019s way in the remaining two days to surpass last year&#8217;s record.
