Overview
From Scale to Significance: Building a $1+ Trillion State Economy
At a time when global corporations and investors are prioritising resilient markets, scalable opportunities, and policy certainty, Maharashtra stands out as one of the world’s most compelling investment destinations. With world-class infrastructure, deep industrial capability, and a forward-looking policy environment, the State is well positioned to lead the next decade of growth across advanced manufacturing, clean energy, digital infrastructure, and global capability centres.
This closed-door roundtable is curated for global investors, CEOs, MDs, founders, and corporate decision-makers to gain actionable insights into why Maharashtra should be central to their India strategy and how to move efficiently from interest to execution.
Why Maharashtra. Why Now.
As India enters its next economic chapter beyond 2026, Maharashtra is at a defining inflection point uniquely positioned not just to participate in, but to shape the next century of growth.
Invest India and DPIIT data indicate that Maharashtra has attracted over 30% of India’s cumulative FDI in the last decade, reinforcing its role as the country’s most trusted investment gateway. NITI Aayog also projects Maharashtra to remain among the leading contributors to India’s $5–7 trillion GDP ambition, with an expected 8.5 – 9% GSDP CAGR through FY30.
Maharashtra’s advantage is built on:
- Scale-ready industrial corridors and port connectivity
- A strong base of global manufacturing and services leaders
- Deep talent pools, innovation ecosystems, and robust urban infrastructure
- A policy framework focused on speed, facilitation, and competitiveness
For global enterprises and long-horizon capital, Maharashtra offers a rare combination of stability, depth, and growth velocity enabling investment at scale with confidence.
