Despite the Covid pandemic and lockdown, the Maharashtra government has
targeted investment proposals worth Rs 100,000 crore for the current
fiscal to kickstart the state economy at full speed, Chief Minister
Uddhav Thackeray said here on Tuesday.
Inaugurating the Indian
Merchants Chamber's "Mission Engage Maharashtra" to reboot, reform and
resurge the state economy, Thackeray said that last year, the state had
secured investments worth Rs 60,000 crore, which it aims to increase by
another Rs 40,000 crore this year.
"Maharashtra is a
business-friendly state for decades. Despite many states trying to move
factories out of here to their own states, it isn't going to happen.
That is because we don't merely believe in signing MoUs, but are also
proactive about actually translating them into meaningful employment
opportunities," he said.
Outlining the MVA's strategy to boost
investments, among other things, he said that work on to grant a
single-window clearance to all those who wish to set up industries in
the state.
Industry Minister Subhash Desai said that Maharashtra
is the engine for the country's growth and progress for which
initiatives like the IMD's conclave are helpful.
"India grows
when Maharashtra grows, Being one of the most important industrialised
states in the country, the economic recovery of the nation at large
depending on how Maharashtra bounces back," he said.
Desai said
that all this can give the right signals to the investors, strengthen
rural economies and galvanise MSMEs to give a fillip to the economy.
IMC
President Rajiv Podar said the state is passing through its worst
crisis and it was in such times that the private sector can play an
important role to help the government rebuild capacity and resilience
for future shocks.
"The (MVA) administration has given a resolute
fight to the pandemic while maintaining a balance between life and
livelihood. There is a need to Reboot-Reform-Resurge the economy for
which we have made 'Mission Engage Maharashtra' as our special focus
this year," he said.
In this, the 113-year old IMC's Expert
Committees on various sectors would work closely with the state
government on policies and programmes which can help achieve robust and
sustainable all-round growth here, he added.
