 “The Maharashtra Global Capability Centre Policy-2025 is a timely and forward-looking blueprint for India’s next growth decade. By targeting 400 new GCCs and creating 4 lakh high-skilled jobs, it directly supports India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat @2047 and the vision of a INR 30 trillion innovation-led economy. What makes the policy particularly significant is its inclusive geographical design.  It deliberately extends the GCC story beyond Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru to cities like Nagpur, Nashik, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The policy will connect local talent and regional infrastructure with global enterprise demand, bridging the urban-rural opportunity divide. This also aligns with the Union Government’s broader push to empower emerging cities, as reflected at the time of budget discussions. Equally noteworthy is sectoral depth of the policy; prioritizing industries such as aerospace and defence, life sciences, automotive, renewable energy, logistics, IT/ITES, and textiles, promoting specialised GCC clusters that leverage Maharashtra’s diverse industrial base and research capabilities. Maharashtra is positioning itself as a global centre for innovation, analytics, and digital transformation. The combination of fiscal incentives, infrastructure readiness, and policy convergence is likely to make Maharashtra a future-ready GCC destination.”
