Energy projects lead the blueprint, followed by airports, data centers, and coal gasification facilities that will anchor the state's industrial growth.
Three New Growth Hubs to Connect Jobs and Skills
Maharashtra plans to build dedicated Education City, Medicity, and AI and Innovation City hubs to link industrial expansion with talent development. Fadnavis emphasized that companies must bring small and medium enterprises into their supply chains while collaborating with educational institutions.

Land Available for Mumbai's Next Phase of Growth
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority completed a land survey covering approximately 2,100 square kilometers. This mapping effort will support development of Mumbai-3 and Mumbai-4 zones, unlocking fresh real estate and industrial space. The land availability removes a key bottleneck for companies seeking to expand manufacturing and data center operations in the Mumbai region.
