The Maharashtra Industry, Investment & Services Policy 2025 is the parent state-level industrial-policy instrument for India's largest state by GDP (~USD 500 bn) and largest by FDI inflow. It replaces the 2019 Maharashtra Industrial Policy and is structurally analogous to the Karnataka Industrial Policy 2025-30 notified earlier in 2025, but is wider in scope by covering services and investment promotion in the same umbrella framework.
Key instrument design choices:
first-ever Maharashtra umbrella spanning manufacturing, services, and investment promotion in a single notification. Prior cycles (1993, 2001, 2006, 2013, 2019) were industry-only.
Sub-Committee under the Chief Minister empowered to sanction customised incentive packages for projects above the ₹500 crore investment threshold (Mega) or higher Ultra-Mega tiers, outside the standard schedule. This is the governance mechanism Maharashtra has historically used to land Foxconn-Vedanta (pre-restructuring), Tata-Airbus C295, JSW-MG (now JSW-SAIC), and Skoda-Volkswagen- Mahindra anchor packages.
investment-promotion entry point with 125+ integrated services, AI-driven investor support, blockchain-based document verification and real-time compliance tracking, consolidating what had been fragmented across multiple departments.
Vidarbha, Marathwada and other lagging regions to counter the Mumbai-Pune-Nashik corridor concentration; ties to 20+ smart townships and 5000+ acre Ultra Mega Parks under PPP.
circular-economy, low-emission and digitally-integrated production facilities, layered onto central PLI/ECMS/Semicon Mission 2.0 incentives.
inflow; the umbrella sets the state-level framework for an estimated USD 80-120 bn of investment-location decisions across western India through 2030.
hook under which future Maharashtra anchor-deal filings (battery gigafactories, semiconductor OSAT, aerospace assembly) will be contracted; subsequent state-level sectoral notifications and individual project-incentive contracts should reference this policy as their authorising instrument.
2024-01-07 Tamil Nadu Semiconductor and 2025-02-11 Karnataka Industrial Policy 2025-30); together these three umbrella state-level instruments span India's top three industrial states and partially close the structural gap whereby India's national- level filings dominate the register despite states being the binding incentive layer for site-selection.
Semicon Mission 2.0 raises post-subsidy after-tax IRR for manufacturing projects, intensifying inter-state subsidy competition between Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.
most state-anchor deals are signed under NDA, making severity quantification (cost-to-state per job, present-value of foregone revenue) extremely opaque.
redirect investment toward services / GCC capacity at the expense of manufacturing build, given that India's services FDI footprint is already concentrated in Maharashtra (Mumbai BFSI, Pune IT).
requirements; whether the new zoning + Mega-package schedule will raise EU / US countervailing-duty exposure for Maharashtra- assembled exports under Section 301 / EU TDI investigations.
(including the restructured Foxconn-Vedanta successor arrangements and JSW-MG / Tata-Airbus packages) — whether grandfathering applies on the original schedule or whether contracts will be re-papered under the 2025 framework.
