Maharashtra Fast-Tracks Industrial Growth with Bold Reforms🚀 Chaired the Ease of Doing Business War Room Meeting in Mumbai today, reaffirming Maharashtra’s commitment to remain the top destination for foreign direct investment and to swiftly convert these investments into thriving industries. Directed the administration to reduce the number of permissions required, ensuring that new entrepreneurs save valuable time and resources. To strengthen investor confidence, the Urban Development Department has been tasked with developing an AI-driven online system for building construction permissions. Under this model, once applications are submitted as per norms, documents will be verified automatically, and permissions granted seamlessly, eliminating delays and ensuring speed. Further reforms include the creation of a single-window mechanism for industrial approvals, exemption of multiple permissions for industries under the green pollution category for a specified period, and decentralising many permissions to the district level for faster processing. These measures will significantly cut red tape and simplify compliance. By eliminating obstacles and creating a truly industry-friendly ecosystem, Maharashtra is building an environment where entrepreneurs can focus on innovation and growth rather than navigating bureaucracy. With seriousness in implementation and proactive reforms, the State will continue to attract large-scale investment, accelerate industrial growth, and progress steadily towards the vision of becoming India’s first $1 trillion sub-national economy. #EaseOfDoingBusiness #InvestInMaharashtra #IndustrialGrowth

Maharashtra Minister of Disaster Management Girish Mahajan and the state government machinery travelling by local train to Virar to rush to the site of the building collapse at Virar. This is a great example of how roads have remained undeveloped even for a visit to Virar from Mumbai with no reliable and quick alternatives other than local train.

Earlier today, I had the privilege of touring the Teknowledge office in Lagos alongside the Honorable Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande (Ayodele Olawande ). Also present was Niyi Odejobi, as we explored the groundbreaking work Teknowledge is doing to drive technological innovation and youth empowerment in Nigeria. Teknowledge is dedicated to equipping young Nigerians with the skills and resources they need to thrive in the digital economy. Through specialized training in software development, artificial intelligence, digital entrepreneurship, and startup incubation, the organization is helping bridge the digital skills gap, fostering innovation, and creating opportunities for young people to excel. Their work is shaping a future where Nigerian youth are not just consumers of technology but active creators and leaders in the space. During the visit, the Minister was visibly impressed by the impact Teknowledge is making. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting initiatives that empower young people through digital education and job creation. He also spoke about the importance of strategic collaborations between the Federal Ministry of Youth Development and organizations like Teknowledge to expand access to tech-driven opportunities for Nigerian youth. It was inspiring to witness the alignment between Teknowledge’s vision and the Ministry’s goals. With strong partnerships like this, we are paving the way for a future where Nigerian youth have the skills, knowledge, and support to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world. The future is bright, and I look forward to seeing the impact these collaborations will bring.

Very good visit to the Garden Island Defence Precinct, Sydney’s major naval base. The Indo-Pacific is crucial for the world’s security. Any tension here echoes through the whole world. With our Security and Defence partnership, we will be able to carry out joint military exercises on land and at sea. It will also boost our defence industries in terms of production, scale and innovation.

I was at Mahindra University in Hyderabad Mahindra University last weekend, to preside, as Chancellor, over our 4th Annual Convocation. A particularly exciting feature of the trip was to see the innovation that is bubbling up all over the different Schools in the University. The diversity of the projects was energizing. A couple of examples: The Engineering School students have developed an autonomous E-shuttle that will be able to provide point-to-point unmanned transportation around the 100 acre campus. And Santosh, a new faculty member of the School of Design Innovation, showcased a line of footwear he had conceptualised (along with IIT Madras and ISB) using Gongadi fabric, woven from the coarse, warm wool of native sheep breeds. For centuries, it’s been made by local weavers for tribal and pastoral communities to keep warm in the chilly winters of the Deccan plateau. He’s adapted it to make footwear that local farmers can use which is easy to clean and maintain despite usage in muddy terrain and hopes to take the project forward at Mahindra University Universities must, and will leverage innovation that improves the quality of our lives…
