During the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, the Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that the state has signed agreements worth nearly Rs 16 lakh crore. These agreements, across various sectors, are intended to boost Maharashtra's economic growth and help it achieve a $1 trillion economy. Fadnavis emphasized that for India to reach its $5 trillion economy target, Maharashtra must contribute by reaching the $1 trillion milestone by 2030. The recently signed agreements are expected to play a crucial role in this journey by bringing significant investments and creating job opportunities throughout the state. Fadnavis attributed the record-breaking investment commitments to policy continuity at the central and state levels, as well as the trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. The Chief Minister assured that the state government will closely monitor the progress of these agreements to ensure their successful implementation and conversion into actual investments, in order to maximize the economic benefits for the state and its citizens.
