Fadnavis said he is also inviting global investors for the Magnetic Maharashtra global summit to be held next month.
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s keynote address yesterday, Fadnavis said he had talked about India becoming a five trillion dollar economy by 2025 and his strong India pitch will also help Maharashtra a lot.
“Maharashtra currently has a share of 15 per cent in the national GDP which we want to increase to 18-19 per cent by 2025,” he said.
Subsequently, we expect to attain a size of trillion dollar economy by 2026-27, the chief minister said.
He also said Davos has changed a lot over the last few years, as earlier India used to be one of the many countries here and today it is all about India here.
