The Maharashtra government signed an MoU with energy company Aggreko India for an investment of around ₹400 crore in Pune over the next 10 years. According to reports from Press Trust of India, the facility would be Aggreko's most significant global engineering and manufacturing centre outside Scotland. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that the project is expected to generate nearly 1,000 jobs and will be established at Phulgaon in Pune district. Aggreko India operates in the energy and temperature control solutions sector, making this a strategic addition to Maharashtra's manufacturing capabilities.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Fadnavis at Sahyadri Guest House in Mumbai, as reported by Press Trust of India. Chief Minister Fadnavis emphasized that Pune is emerging as a major hub for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and assured full government support for the project. "Pune is now becoming an important centre for Global Capability Centres, and we welcome Aggreko to this GCC capital," the chief minister said. "The company will get an excellent working environment in India, especially in Maharashtra," he added, emphasizing that the company will receive all necessary support along with an excellent working environment for this project.
According to the agreement, work on the state-of-the-art global engineering and manufacturing centre is expected to begin later this year, according to reports from Press Trust of India. The investment will be facilitated through the industries, energy, labour and mining departments, with all necessary permissions, registrations, approvals, incentives and administrative support provided in accordance with existing policies. The project is expected to provide a major boost to the local supply chain and help micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) connect with global supply chains.
As reported by Press Trust of India, the company will focus on developing sustainable technology solutions aimed at improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and strengthening resilience against climate change across sectors. Aggreko has also assured cooperation in promoting sustainable energy and temperature control systems aligned with the state's climate action plan. The project is expected to strengthen Maharashtra's capabilities in advanced manufacturing, energy equipment production and precision engineering, positioning the state as a key player in the global energy solutions sector.
