All industrial clearances in Maharashtra to be available on Maitri portal: Fadnavis
He said the move will streamline approvals and ease business operations.
"Maharashtra is steadily progressing towards becoming a USD 1 trillion economy. To support this momentum, industries must receive timely access to essential services such as water supply, roads, connectivity, environmental clearances, forest permissions, labour compliance, and land," Fadnavis said while chairing a high-level meeting.
The chief minister directed that all departments concerned grant online clearances via the Maitri portal, according to an official release.
He said a provision should also be made for anonymous grievance submissions by entrepreneurs facing bureaucratic hurdles.
Fadnavis instructed the Water Resources Department to ensure adequate water availability for industrial zones as per demand.
He emphasised the priority development of power sub-stations in Mazalgaon, Dighi, Butibori, Chamorshi , Jaipur , and at the PM Mitra textile park in Amravati.
The chief minister also called for dedicated mechanisms to resolve issues related to power transmission and maintenance in industrial areas, the release stated.
He directed the Environment Department to make all its approvals available through the portal and asked the PWD to expedite the connectivity of Shendra-Bidkin with the Samruddhi Expressway.
At the meeting, Fadnavis highlighted the need to improve the ease of doing business.
He stated that permissions like 'consent to establish' and 'consent to operate' should be issued on time, while doing away with unnecessary permissions.
He also recommended a consolidated policy on land allotment and called for a clear framework for labour welfare in industrial areas.
Fadnavis further proposed that areas with MIDC presence be granted "industrial city" status to avoid dual taxation issues. The chief minister also reviewed the ongoing and proposed land acquisition processes for various industrial projects across the state.

Many students from Dr Ambedkar College are the first in their families to receive higher education: CM
1 2 Nagpur: Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday praised Dr Ambedkar College at Deekshabhoomi for its transformative role in uplifting marginalised communities through education, calling it a "legacy institution" that has lived up to the ideals of Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. Speaking at the college's Diamond Jubilee celebration, Fadnavis said it was a matter of pride that the Chief Justice of India, Justice Bhushan Gavai, could be part of the function at an institution co-founded by his late father, RS Gavai. "It's a meaningful coincidence — the son returning to the institution built by the father, now as the head of India's judiciary. We are proud of Justice Gavai, and this is a great moment for Nagpur. " He emphasised the institution's strong connection with Deekshabhoomi. "This is not just a college, it is a social movement. Many of the students graduating from here were the first in their families to receive higher education. That's real transformation," he said. The CM credited stalwarts like Sadanand Fulzele, Padmashree Dadasaheb Gaikwad, Dadasaheb Kumbhare, and his father for laying the foundation of the college during a time when such efforts were rare. He also recognised the contribution of former principals TK Damodaran and R Krishnakumar. "At the time, who would have thought a college with just Rs20,000, five teachers, five classrooms, and 300 students would become such a massive force of empowerment?" Today, the college boasts more than 6,000 students, 50 classrooms, and a wide multidisciplinary curriculum. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It holds a NAAC 'A' accreditation and has been recognised by the UGC as a 'College with Potential for Excellence'. Fadnavis noted that in earlier decades, govt colleges were the preferred choice, but now "students' first preference is Ambedkar College — that speaks volumes about its stature." Fadnavis also acknowledged the contribution of former principals TK Damodaran and R. Krishna Kumar in the institution's growth. "This college has changed the lives of thousands and continues to serve the purpose for which it was founded — empowerment through education." Highlighting the growing role of women in education, Fadnavis said, "Out of five students felicitated today, four were girls. Of every 100 medals, 80 go to girls. This shift is welcome and reflects the belief of Dr Ambedkar — that real progress begins when women lead." Present on the occasion were Deekshabhoomi Smarak Samiti secretary Rajendra Gavai and educationist Vilas Gajghate, among others.

New Delhi, Aug 2 (PTI) HCLTech CEO C Vijayakumar earned USD 10.85 million (about ₹ 94.6 crore) in the financial year 2024-25, making him one of the highest-paid executives in the Indian IT sector and surpassing the earnings of chiefs at larger rivals TCS and Infosys. The company's board has also approved an over 71 per cent increase in his current remuneration to USD 18.6 million (about ₹ 154 crore) for the next financial year, according to the company's annual report. Vijayakumar's FY25 compensation places him ahead of his peers at India's top two IT firms. For the same period, TCS CEO K Krithivasan's remuneration was ₹ 26.52 crore, while Infosys CEO Salil Parekh earned ₹ 80.62 crore. Vijayakumar's earnings also topped those of Wipro CEO Srinivas Pallia (USD 6.2 million or about ₹ 53.64 crore) and Tech Mahindra CEO Mohit Joshi ( ₹ 53.9 crore). According to HCLTech's annual report, Vijayakumar's total remuneration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, comprised a base salary of USD 1.96 million and a performance-linked bonus of USD 1.73 million. The largest portion of his earnings came from long-term incentives, with exercised Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) valued at USD 6.96 million. An additional USD 0.20 million was provided in benefits and perquisites. Vijayakumar, who took over as the CEO in 2016, is based in the US and draws his remuneration from HCL America Inc., the firm's wholly-owned US subsidiary. "Under C. Vijayakumar's leadership, HCLTech's market capitalisation has increased from ₹ 1,15,000 crore on March 31, 2016, to ₹ 4,32,000 crore on March 31, 2025, reflecting a growth of 3.8 times since FY16. Over the same period, the market capitalisation of the other four leading Indian listed IT services firms among the top five has grown by approximately 2.5 times," the company said. The company's board has approved a revised remuneration package for Vijayakumar, effective April 1, 2025. The proposed annual salary is set at USD 18.6 million, marking a 71 per cent increase from his FY25 earnings. The proposed structure significantly increases both fixed and performance-linked components. "The revised compensation acknowledges C Vijayakumar's successful and long-tenured leadership as CEO, recognising his significant contributions to the company's growth and sustained performance over the years," the report said.
