Maharashtra has secured Rs 56,000 crore in investment commitments aimed at expanding its maritime infrastructure.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that 15 agreements were signed during the India Maritime Week, covering port expansions, shipyard development, and technology enhancements. Key investments include the expansion of Dighi port by the Adani Group and a major industrial development project, along with JSW Group's plans to expand Jaigad port. These initiatives are set to integrate Maharashtra’s ports into global supply chains, boosting economic growth.

Additionally, the state plans to introduce a 'water taxi' service from the newly inaugurated Navi Mumbai airport, and develop a state-of-the-art marina in Mumbai. These projects align with the state's goal to become India's maritime superpower and include efforts to enhance maritime education and technology through dedicated centers of excellence.
