Maharashtra govt signs MoUs worth Rs 4,080 crore in electronic, logistic sectors
Mumbai, June 5
Two Memorandums of Understanding were signed at the Chief Minister's official residence, 'Varsha', in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Fadnavis -- one between the Government of Maharashtra and Jabil, and another between the Government of Maharashtra and Dubai-based RSA Global, an official statement said.
These agreements will bring an investment of Rs 4,080 crore to Maharashtra and generate approximately 4,750 direct and indirect employment opportunities, it added.
Chief Minister Fadnavis stated that both projects would provide a major boost to industrial investment, export capacity, and the modern logistics infrastructure in Maharashtra, while accelerating the creation of high-skill jobs. Furthermore, these initiatives will further strengthen Maharashtra's leadership position in the electronics manufacturing and logistics sectors.
State government said Jabil will set up an Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) expansion project in Pune. The company plans to invest Rs 1,500 crore to manufacture 5G equipment and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based networking switchgear, a move expected to generate approximately 4,000 direct jobs. Jabil has been operating in Maharashtra for 23 years and currently employs over 10,000 people in the state. The company's new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is set to commence operations on June 17, 2026.
Under a second Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the Government of Maharashtra and RSA Logistics and Transportation Pvt. Ltd., a state-of-the-art 'Ultra Mega Logistics Park' will be developed on a 25-hectare site within the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) area at Uran, Raigad district.
An investment of Rs 2,580 crore is proposed for this project, which is expected to generate approximately 750 direct and indirect jobs. Advanced facilities such as container stacking, container washing and cleaning, repairs, and the handling and storage of empty containers will be developed here.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured entrepreneurs that the State Government would extend all possible cooperation for industrial expansion.

Happy to see my state booming! But I hope the Ultra Mega Logistics Park at Uran doesn't harm the local environment. Raigad has beautiful coastal areas—need to balance development with ecology. 750 jobs at ₹2,580 crore is a bit expensive per job, no? Still, better than no investment.
Finally, some concrete progress! EMS for 5G and AI equipment is exactly what India needs to become a manufacturing hub. With JNPA port nearby, that logistics park makes perfect sense. Fadnavis is serious about investment. Now we need similar push for IT and startups in smaller cities too.
Let's be honest—MoUs are signed every month, but implementation is key. Remember the previous investment summits? Many promises remain paper tigers. Also, 4,750 jobs for ₹4,080 crore is roughly ₹86 lakh per job—a bit steep. But if it works, great for Maharashtra. Let's wait and see the actual ground reality. 😕
As someone from Pune, I'm thrilled about Jabil's expansion! 4,000 direct jobs in 5G and AI manufacturing is huge. Our city is already an automotive and IT hub—adding electronics EMS will complete the ecosystem. Need to ensure infrastructure like roads and power keeps up. Good job, Fadnavis ji! 👏
This is excellent news for the state! Maharashtra has always been an industrial leader, and such investments will create a multiplier effect—more suppliers, more services, more local
