Maharashtra opened the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos with record investment commitments worth USD 173 billion on the first day. The state government on Monday signed 19 MoUs involving investments across multiple sectors, with the potential to generate over 15 lakh jobs.
The agreements underline strong global confidence in Maharashtra’s consumer markets, infrastructure readiness and long-term growth fundamentals.
Maharashtra also inaugurated its state pavilion at the WEF Annual Meeting, marking the start of a week-long programme of high-level engagements.
The pavilion is designed as a platform for structured dialogue and investment realisation, aligned with the state’s vision of Viksit Maharashtra 2047 and its ambition to become a five trillion-dollar economy.
The state’s engagements at Davos focus on enabling sustained capital deployment across industry, consumer markets, hospitality and infrastructure, including both core and digital sectors.
