Mumbai: The Maharashtra Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday approved the Global Capability Centre (GCC) policy to establish the state as a leading hub of GCCs in the country leveraging its diverse industrial base, financial leadership and technological expertise.

The policy proposes to establish 400 new GCCs, create four lakh high skilled jobs by integrating industry driven curricula, fostering cutting edge research, and equipping the workforce with advanced digital and technical skills.

It aims to promote GCC-led research, foster multinational collaborations, attract high value and knowledge intensive investments, develop world class business districts and a robust digital data bank. The policy aims to propel tier-2 and tier-3 cities such as Nashik, Nagpur and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar into the global GCC landscape, creating new economic hubs and fostering balanced technology driven growth.

The policy will remain in effect for five years (Financial Year 2029-30) from the date of notification or until the next policy comes into effect.

The state government plans to set up dedicated GCC parks equipped with future ready infrastructure, walk to work design and plug and play offices.
