The Maharashtra government has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Cleveland Clinic (Ohio, USA), Brookfield Asset Management, and Arodhan Health City to develop the Navi Mumbai International MediCity (NMIMC), Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Wednesday.
He said that the project is being described as a first-of-its-kind global healthcare, research and innovation ecosystem in India.
The announcement marks one of the largest international healthcare collaborations in the country, positioning Maharashtra as a future hub for advanced medical services, research and education.
The proposed MediCity project will involve a global investment of USD 1.2 billion and is expected to generate around 10,000 jobs. Spread across 250 acres in Navi Mumbai, the facility will integrate world-class patient care with cutting-edge medical research and innovation, CM Fadnavis wrote on X.
He said the development will combine healthcare delivery with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, genomics, and advanced clinical research, creating a modern ecosystem for medical advancement in India.
The Cleveland Clinic will act as the anchor healthcare partner for the project, bringing its global expertise in clinical care and medical research.
The MoU signing ceremony was attended by senior representatives including Cleveland Clinic CEO Dr Tomislav Mihaljevic, Dr Sameer Kapadia (Chairman, Cardiovascular Medicine), Lakshmi Mittal (Executive Chairman, ArcelorMittal), and Dr Falcone (President, Emerging Markets), along with officials from partner organisations.
The initiative aligns with the Government of India's "Heal in India" vision, aimed at making the country a global destination for medical tourism, research, and innovation, officials said.
The state representatives said that the project reflects Maharashtra's ambition to build globally competitive healthcare infrastructure while attracting international patients and medical professionals.
Beyond patient care, the Navi Mumbai MediCity in Maharashtra will also focus on medical education, training, and innovation-driven healthcare solutions.
The integration of AI-based systems and genomics research is expected to place the project among the most advanced healthcare ecosystems globally, officials said.
Officials said that the project will strengthen India's capacity in specialised healthcare services and create new opportunities for collaboration between global and Indian medical institutions.
