Country FDI is coming fiercely in the economically major state Maharashtra. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday that Maharashtra has received a record FDI (FDI) for the last 10 years in just 9 months of 2024-25. Fadnavis cited the Center’s DPIIT foreign investment report for December 2024 in support of his claim. According to the report, Maharashtra has crossed the highest annual foreign direct investment in the last 10 years in just nine months of the current financial year (2024–25).
FDI of Rs 1,39,434 crore came in 9 months
He said that a total of Rs 1,39,434 crore has been received in the first nine months of FY 2024-25. The Chief Minister said, “This is the highest foreign investment in Maharashtra in any one year in the last 10 years.” According to data compiled by DPIIT (Department of Industry and Internal Trade Produce) by the end of December 2024, Maharashtra tops the country in FDI flow. This is followed by Karnataka and Gujarat.
Mahayuti government broke its own record
Fadnavis said on the social media platform ‘X’, “By doing so, the Mahayuti government has broken its own record of FY 2016-17. Of course, there is still a quarter left in the current financial year. ” The Mahayuti alliance, which won a huge victory in the assembly elections in the state last year, includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Ajit Pawar.
