CM Devendra Fadnavis: Need policy to grant ‘Industrial Township’ status to villages with MIDC

A review meeting of the functioning of MIDC was held under the chairmanship of Fadnavis which was attended by Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, Industries Minister Uday Samant, and other senior officials.

During the meeting, Fadnavis stated that conferring “Industrial Township” status to villages with MIDC areas would not only boost local development but also expedite infrastructure projects such as water supply, roads, electricity, and other essential services.

Of the 63 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) signed by the Maharashtra government during the World Economic Forum 2025, 47 are related to the industrial sector.

The land allotment process for these companies is currently underway. Notifications for land acquisition for new industrial zones are also being issued.

It was reported that 654 plots have been allotted via the e-tendering system on the MahaTender portal.

As per the 100-day action plan of the government, MIDC had set a target to allot 3,500 acres of industrial land, out of which 2,346 acres have already been allotted to industries.

The land acquisition target has been achieved at 110 per cent. Additionally, a 5 MLD sewage treatment plant has been commissioned at Butibori, and requests, complaints, and approvals related to industrial services have been resolved efficiently.
