Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday highlighted the state’s crucial role in strengthening India’s maritime sector while addressing the India Maritime Week 2025 event in Mumbai.

“Maharashtra has made a significant contribution to the country’s maritime strength. As India’s economic capital, the state owes much of its success to the strategic importance of Mumbai’s ports and the pivotal role of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA),” Fadnavis said.
