In a major boost to Vidarbha’s industrial and infrastructure landscape, the Maharashtra government has signed MoUs worth ₹10,880 crore to accelerate investments in renewable energy, healthcare, and manufacturing. The agreements were formalised at the ‘Advantage Vidarbha – Khasdar Audyogik Mahotsav 2026’, organised by the Association of Industrial Development, in the presence of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The largest commitment comes from Galaxy Solar Energy, which will invest ₹10,080 crore to set up an integrated solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) manufacturing facility in Nagpur. The project will be developed in 3 phases and is targeted for completion by 2036. It is expected to strengthen the state’s renewable energy ecosystem and position Vidarbha as a clean energy hub.
In the healthcare segment, Maha-Metro has partnered with Hyderabad-based Quality CARE India Ltd (QCIL Care Group) to establish a 350+ bed multi-speciality hospital in Nagpur under the PPP model. The project involves an investment of ₹600 crore and is projected to create 1,500–1,800 direct jobs. Under the 60-year lease agreement, QCIL will pay ₹1,850 crore to Maha-Metro for the land. The NPV of this amount is estimated at ₹131.35 crore.
Further strengthening the industrial base, the state signed an MoU with GR Infraprojects for a ₹200 crore tower manufacturing plant in Nagpur.
Under these agreements, the government will facilitate required approvals and extend fiscal incentives as per existing state policies and regulations.
Highlighting the region’s momentum, Chief Minister Fadnavis said Vidarbha is witnessing historic investment commitments that are translating into real projects. He also announced plans to develop Gadchiroli as a green steel hub and to position Nagpur, Nashik, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar as emerging GCC destinations.
“A high-profile conclave will be conducted in Nagpur next month, where leaders from the GCC space will deliberate and chart the way forward,” Fadnavis said.
He added, “Ease of doing business and cost of doing business are the 2 key denominators. If we take care of these, every investment becomes seamless. Our industry, investment and services policies are forward-looking and futuristic.”
The state is revising policies across textiles and apparel, leather and footwear, electronics and semiconductors (fab), aerospace and defence, MSMEs, pharmaceuticals, biotech and medical devices, circular economy and bioplastics. These are expected within 2–3 months.
“With these initiatives, policy-led investment, policy-led industry, and policy-led growth will be the mantra of Maharashtra,” Fadnavis added.
