Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said Maharashtra has a unique opportunity to emerge as a leader in electronics manufacturing and modern logistics.
Speaking at the signing of two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) at his official residence, Varsha, Fadnavis assured investors that the state government would act as a partner in their growth journey.
"The government's role is to help create a complete industrial ecosystem in the state. Entrepreneurs should consider the government as their partner in this journey," he said.
The agreements were signed between the Maharashtra government and leading electronics manufacturing company Jabil, as well as Dubai-based RSA Global, an official statement said.
It said that the two projects together are expected to bring investments worth Rs 4,080 crore to the state and generate around 4,750 direct and indirect employment opportunities.
According to CM Fadnavis, the investments will boost industrial growth, strengthen export capabilities and improve modern logistics infrastructure in Maharashtra. He said the projects would also create high-skilled jobs and further enhance the state's position as a preferred destination for industry.
As part of the agreement, 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. The project is expected to create around 4,000 direct jobs.
Jabil has been operating in Maharashtra for the past 23 years and currently employs more than 10,000 people in the state. The company's new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is scheduled to begin operations on June 17, 2026.
The second agreement involves the development of an Ultra Mega Logistics Park at Uran in Raigad district.
The project will be developed by RSA Logistics and Transportation Pvt Ltd on a 25-hectare site within the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) area.
An investment of Rs 2,580 crore has been proposed for the project, which is expected to create around 750 direct and indirect jobs.
The logistics park will feature modern facilities for container stacking, container washing and cleaning, repairs, handling of empty containers and storage operations.
Several senior government officials and industry representatives attended the signing ceremony.
Among those present were Industries Department Principal Secretary Dr P. Anbalagan, Industries Commissioner Deependra Singh Kushwah, Jabil Global CEO Mike Dastoor, Managing Director B. N. Shukla, Vice President Debashish Choudhury, Director Santosh Bhagwat, RSA Global Chairman Ajay Indravadan Shah, CEO Abhishek Prakash Rao and Head of Human Resources Mohan Limaye.
