Maharashtra Signs ₹400 Crore MoU With Aggreko for Pune Engineering Hub

The deal signals a decade-long push to boost advanced manufacturing, increase jobs, align new capacity with the state's climate action plan.

Overview

  • A memorandum announced Monday between the Maharashtra government and Aggreko India commits roughly ₹400 crore of investment over 10 years to build a global engineering and manufacturing centre in Phulgaon/Fulgaon, Pune district.
  • State officials said the project is expected to create about 1,000 direct jobs and that construction is planned to begin later in 2026, though those targets remain projections rather than completed actions.
  • The government pledged administrative support, permits, registrations and policy-based incentives through the industries, energy, labour and mining departments to speed project implementation.
  • Aggreko described the Pune site as its largest engineering and manufacturing centre outside Scotland and said it would focus on energy-efficient and low‑carbon technologies to support Maharashtra’s climate goals.
  • Next steps include securing specific approvals, finalising land and construction plans and integrating local MSMEs into the company’s supply chain, with tangible economic and environmental results dependent on those pending milestones.
