Money9 Financial Freedom Summit 2026: Maharashtra to become a $5 trillion economy, CM Fadnavis says roadmap is ready

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis attended the fourth edition of Money9's Financial Freedom Summit 2026. Fadnavis delivered his address via video message. 

Fadnavis stated that Maharashtra's economy is growing rapidly. He stated that Maharashtra today has the largest economy among all the states in the country.

He added that if Maharashtra were to be considered as a separate country for a moment, its economy could be included among the world's largest economies.

Chief Minister Fadnavis was scheduled to attend the event in person, but was unable to attend due to a busy schedule. 

In his message, he noted that the state's budget session is underway, and this forum would have been a good opportunity to share key budget highlights. However, due to an important meeting in Delhi, he was unable to attend the summit, and he expressed regret.

Investment opportunities are increasing in every sector of Maharashtra

The Chief Minister stated that Maharashtra is among the leading states in terms of foreign investment, large infrastructure projects, employment opportunities, and startups. 

He also stated that while investment was previously limited to cities like Mumbai and Pune, 

new investment opportunities are now rapidly expanding in other districts of the state. According to Fadnavis, districts like Gadchiroli, Nandurbar, Jalgaon, and Nanded are also seeing increasing investor interest.

Aims to make Maharashtra a $5 trillion economy

The Chief Minister stated that the state government has set a goal of making Maharashtra a $5 trillion economy by 2047. To achieve this, a roadmap for a developed Maharashtra has been prepared, 

which is planned to be implemented in three phases. He said that a major saga is taking shape. We have begun to move forward with the dream of a $5 trillion economy by 2047, which is not impossible.
