Devendra Fadnavis, Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister, announced the creation of one of the world’s largest gems and jewellery parks in the state. The announcement effectively refutes the Maha Vikas Aghadi’s (MVA) claim that the state’s projects are being handed over to Gujarat.
The production of the unique park will cost approximately Rs 60,000 crore. The project is expected to employ around 1,00,000 people. The 80-acre gems and jewellery park will be one of the most unique parks of its kind in recent years.
The Deputy CM tweeted, “A few days ago, a delegation of India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) met me with a proposal of setting up a state of the art Gems & Jewellery Park in Navi Mumbai.”
“Spread over more than 80 acre (25 acre in Phase 1), this will be one of the largest Gem and Jewellery parks in the World. With an estimated investment of Rs 60,000 crore, this one of its kind manufacturing to retail park will be the largest facility of its kind.”
“The park will generate direct and indirect employment for over 1,00,000 skilled and unskilled workers. I have directed all concerned departments to expedite the approval process for this most iconic project of this sector.” Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister added.
