The Maharashtra Cabinet has approved a comprehensive Global Capability Center (GCC) policy to position the state as India’s leading GCC destination. Leveraging its strong industrial base, financial leadership, and technological expertise, the policy aims to establish 400 GCCs and create 4 lakh high-skilled jobs by FY 2029-30.
Focus on Research, Skills, and Innovation
The policy emphasizes developing an industry-driven curriculum, fostering cutting-edge research, and enhancing workforce capabilities with advanced digital and technical skills. It also seeks to promote GCC-led research, encourage multinational collaborations, and attract high-value, knowledge-intensive investments.
Boosting Growth in Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cities
Targeting emerging urban centers like Nashik, Nagpur, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the initiative aims to create new economic hubs and ensure balanced, technology-driven growth beyond major metros.
Infrastructure, Incentives, and Support
The government plans to develop dedicated GCC parks with plug-and-play offices, future-ready infrastructure, and walk-to-work designs. Fiscal incentives include capital subsidies of up to ₹50 crore, rent reimbursement, R&D grants, and patent filing support. Non-fiscal incentives such as single-window clearance, industry status, zoning relaxations, and additional FSI will further ease operations.
Strategic Governance and Long-Term Vision
A Maharashtra GCC Growth Council will serve as a think tank and advisory body, ensuring alignment with global trends and workforce needs. eCluster development, including specialized GCC units in flagship projects like Innovation City and Maharashtra Global Med Zone, will strengthen the state’s global competitiveness.
