International funds see India as key destination with many opportunities: Devendra Fadnavis

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis at Davos reveals over 70% of WEF MoUs convert to projects, highlighting state's high investment conversion rate.

"Today, international funds are especially viewing India as a very important destination, and we have many opportunities. - Devendra Fadnavis"

Davos, Jan 19

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said that international investors are increasingly looking at India as an important investment destination, offering vast opportunities across sectors.

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit here, he said global funds are showing strong confidence in India's growth story.

"Today, international funds are especially viewing India as a very important destination, and we have many opportunities," he mentioned.

"Investments are coming in from diverse sectors, and several discussions are currently underway with international companies and investors," Fadnavis stated.

He added that once these talks are finalised in Davos, they will be taken forward in India for implementation.

Highlighting Maharashtra's strong track record, the Chief Minister said that in most Indian states, only about 35 per cent of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) turn into real projects.

"In Maharashtra, however, the conversion rate is much higher at around 55 to 60 per cent," he explained.

"I must tell you that the minister has given a statement on the floor of the Assembly about the progress," he stated.

He noted that MoUs signed at Davos have shown an even better performance, with more than 70 per cent moving towards execution.

He also referred to a statement made by the concerned minister on the floor of the Maharashtra Assembly about the progress of investment proposals, underlining the state government's focus on accountability and delivery.

Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Pavilion was inaugurated at Davos by Fadnavis and Minister Uday Samant. The pavilion showcases the state's strengths in industry, infrastructure, innovation, and investment opportunities.

Senior officials, global investors, and industry leaders attended the event.

The pavilion aims to attract international partnerships and bring more foreign investment into Maharashtra, further strengthening the state's global presence.

Good to hear the confidence from Davos. But we need to ensure these investments reach beyond just Mumbai and Pune. Development should be inclusive and benefit tier-2 and tier-3 cities as well. Infrastructure in rural areas needs equal focus.

The 70%+ execution rate for Davos MoUs is a strong metric. It shows that when there's political will and a clear process, things can move fast. Hope this attracts more tech and green energy investments.

As someone working in the startup ecosystem, this is very encouraging. International funds mean more capital for innovation. The Maharashtra Pavilion is a smart move for branding. Execution is key now!

Statements at Davos are one thing, but ground reality is another. We often hear about big numbers, but the common man needs to feel the impact through better roads, stable electricity, and lower costs of living. Let's see the results on the ground.

Focusing on accountability and delivery is the right approach. Mentioning the minister's statement in the Assembly adds transparency. Hope this leads to sustainable industrial growth without harming the environment. Jai Maharashtra!
