In a major boost to Maharashtra’s growth ambitions, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that Vietnam-based conglomerate Vingroup will invest USD 6.5 billion in the state over the next two years across key sectors, including electric mobility, renewable energy, infrastructure, and tourism.
The announcement follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Vingroup, the Maharashtra Industries Department, and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) at the Chief Minister’s official residence, ‘Varsha’.
Calling it a “matter of pride,” CM Fadnavis said the investment comes at a time when Maharashtra is witnessing rapid development. He added that regions like Mumbai and Raigad are on track to become globally competitive urban hubs, and this collaboration will further strengthen that vision.
The investment will span nearly 5,000 acres across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and other locations, and is expected to generate around 24,700 direct jobs. A key highlight of the project is the development of a large, eco-friendly integrated township spread across 2,700 acres, designed to accommodate nearly two lakh residents.
Vingroup’s plans go beyond housing. The company is set to introduce electric mobility solutions, including large-scale electric taxi services and a mobility-as-a-service platform, aimed at accelerating the shift toward cleaner transport in the state.
The project also includes the development of essential social infrastructure such as international-standard schools, multi-speciality hospitals, and a widespread EV charging network. In the renewable energy space, a 500 MW solar power project is planned to support the state’s green energy goals.
Tourism is another focus area, with plans to develop a large-scale theme park, zoo, and safari spread over 865 acres—creating both economic activity and employment opportunities.
Highlighting the importance of digital infrastructure, CM Fadnavis also stressed the need for advanced interconnectivity and scalable bandwidth. He noted that during high-demand periods—such as online applications for government schemes—strong digital systems are critical to prevent disruptions and ensure smooth service delivery.
Overall, the partnership signals Maharashtra’s growing appeal as a global investment destination and reflects a clear push toward sustainable development, modern infrastructure, and future-ready urban ecosystems.
