Pride in Marathi Entrepreneurs like Bharat Gite: CM Devendra Fadnavis Praises Rapid Industrial Execution at Davos

Davos (Switzerland): “Entrepreneurs like Bharat Gite, known as the ‘Aluminium Man of India,’ have successfully implemented a ₹500 crore Memorandum of Understanding signed at last year’s World Economic Forum, commencing actual production within just one year. I feel proud of Marathi entrepreneurs like Gite who have established industries in such a short span,” said Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, expressing his admiration.

He was speaking during an interaction with Bharat Gite at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos. The discussion covered detailed aspects of industrial planning, swift execution, coordination between administration and entrepreneurs, and the growing importance of the manufacturing sector in the economy. These initiatives, which strengthen the Central Government’s missions such as ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, ‘Make in India’, and ‘Vocal for Local’, have delivered an inspiring message to entrepreneurs across the country that rapid industrial development is achievable within a short time frame.

CM Fadnavis further stated, “The state-of-the-art aluminium castings manufacturing plant of Taural India, established at Supa MIDC in Ahilyanagar district, has set an exemplary industrial model for the state by commencing production in a remarkably short period. This project has created employment opportunities for local youth and has significantly boosted industrial development in the region.”

He added, “Bharat Gite and Taural India are excellent examples proving that an MoU need not remain on paper but can be transformed into actual production within a year. Marathi entrepreneurs possess the capability to compete at a global level. With the right policy support, Maharashtra can reach new heights in the industrial sector.”

Sharing his perspective, Bharat Gite said, “Since 2016, Taural India has been expanding its industrial footprint and has made significant contributions in manufacturing precision aluminium castings required for the energy sector, defence production, medical equipment, and the aerospace sector. These contributions are strengthening the state’s industrial progress and supporting economic growth.”

He further emphasized, “The manufacturing sector is the backbone of a strong economy. If sectors such as automobiles, engineering, infrastructure, electronics, electric mobility, defence ancillary industries, agro-processing, and high-value export-oriented manufacturing are strengthened, the industrial foundation of the state will become even more robust.”
