JSW Plans Steel City in Gadchiroli with ₹3 Lakh Crore Investment

In a major boost to Maharashtra’s industrial landscape, the state government signed multiple memorandums of understanding (MoUs) on the first day of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, securing investment commitments worth over ₹3.35 lakh crore for Vidarbha. Among the most significant deals, JSW Group emerged as a key player with investment proposals amounting to ₹3 lakh crore, which is expected to generate around 10,000 jobs.

The JSW Group’s ambitious plans involve setting up multiple projects in Maharashtra, with a significant focus on Vidarbha, particularly in Nagpur and Gadchiroli. JSW’s Chairman, Sajjan Jindal, confirmed that the company would invest in a wide array of sectors including steel, solar energy, and electric vehicles (EVs), with a steel plant to be located in Gadchiroli. The state government has ambitious plans to transform Gadchiroli into a steel city, positioning it as a key industrial hub in the region. Alongside the steel plant, JSW’s proposal includes a solar mechanism unit in Nagpur and an EV manufacturing plant in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad). This MoU is part of Maharashtra’s broader strategy to attract industrial investments, with Vidarbha being the prime beneficiary of this investment wave. The state government has signed MoUs worth over ₹4.9 lakh crore across Maharashtra, with Vidarbha receiving the lion’s share. These projects are expected to generate more than 92,000 jobs across the state, with 21,000 positions projected for Vidarbha alone.

In addition to JSW, other major players are showing interest in Maharashtra. The Kalyani Group, known for its stakes in defence and steel industries, has also signed an MoU for a significant investment in Gadchiroli, potentially establishing a defence production unit in the region. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, while applauding JSW’s decision to invest in Maharashtra, emphasised the state’s favourable business environment. Sajjan Jindal, in his address, echoed similar sentiments, highlighting that Maharashtra offers a stress-free atmosphere for industrial growth, which is a key reason why JSW is committing large-scale investments to the state. JSW’s plans also include investments in renewable energy, cement, lithium-ion batteries, and solar water heating systems.

The company’s diverse portfolio is expected to provide a comprehensive development plan for the region, positioning Maharashtra as a key player in multiple high-growth sectors. Following JSW’s signing, another notable MoU was inked with Waaree Energies Ltd for an investment of ₹30,000 crore, focused on solar panel manufacturing. Furthermore, the Kalyani Group committed to a ₹5,200 crore investment, expected to create 4,000 jobs in the region. This surge in industrial investment is poised to transform Vidarbha, with Nagpur and Gadchiroli at the forefront of this industrial renaissance. As Maharashtra continues to attract high-value investments, the state’s economic landscape looks set to undergo a significant transformation, creating thousands of new job opportunities and enhancing its position as an industrial powerhouse in India.
