Maharashtra Restructures Industry Directorate for Growth
The Maharashtra government has split its Directorate of Industries into three new departments to help the state's economy grow.
One department will handle big projects, another will support small businesses, and the third will focus on services and new technologies.
The government plans to make Maharashtra a very rich state by 2047.
This change will cost the government extra money every year, but they believe it will help the state become much stronger economically.
Maharashtra restructures Directorate of Industries into three specialized commissionerates.
New commissionerates include Industries, MSME, and Services.
Restructuring aims to boost Maharashtra's economy to a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2029-30.
Additional annual financial burden of Rs 35.96 crore for new posts.
Headquarters for new commissionerates will be in Mumbai.
