Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis in the state legislative assembly on Friday reaffirmed that Maharashtra tops the chart when it comes to Foreign Investment (FI) in India. In fact, the CM dismissed the claims by the opposition that Gujarat is the favourite destination for investment and is ahead of Maharashtra.

In his reply to the debate on the Governor’s address, Fadnavis maintained that in the first nine months of the financial year, Maharashtra received 1.39 thousand crore through FI. The FI investment received by Mahrashtra is three times higher than Gujarat. “Even if one combines the investment received by Karnataka, Gujarat and Delhi, still they fall way short of Maharashtra’s total,” the CM added.
