This will be the CM’s second visit to Davos, wherein this time he is leading a 10-member delegation including senior officials from Industries Department, MIDC and CM’s secretariat. Eight officials from Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority and Mahatma Phule Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Technology will also be attending the conference independently.
Speaking about Davos, State Industries Minister Uday Samant said the government expects to sign MoUs worth Rs 2.5 lakh crore. These investments are expected in various cities of Maharashtra including Mumbai, Pune, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Gadchiroli, Nagpur, Chandrapur, Jalna and Raigad.
