Shinde and Fadnavis went to Delhi on Sunday evening and held a meeting with Shah.
The CM said issues related to agriculture and cooperation were discussed during the meeting with Shah.
Several pending projects in the state have been streamlined now and they are on way to completion, he said.
"We have always received guidance from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for various projects. We met Shah to discuss issues related to the cooperation sector," Shinde said in the tweet.
Last year, Shinde along with 39 other MLAs revolted against the Shiv Sena (then undivided) leadership.
The revolt led to a split in the Shiv Sena and collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government.
Shinde later joined hands with the BJP and became the CM.
Last week, Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar met Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to invite him for the 75th Foundation Day of the Maratha Mandir, a charitable institution.
Pawar, who met Shinde at the CM's official residence 'Varsha', is the president of the Mumbai-based Maratha Mandir.
The veteran politician later tweeted that he also had a discussion with Shinde about organising a meeting to address the issues faced by actors, artistes and people associated with the Marathi film industry and theatre.
