Multi-national engineering firm John Cockerill is relocating the global headquarters of its metals business to Mumbai, signaling a major expansion in India.

Recently, the company’s global CEO François Michel, along with senior executives Vivek Bhide and François David Martino, met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to discuss growth and investment plans in the state.

“Our discussions focused on bringing cutting-edge steel and defence technologies to Maharashtra, in collaboration with partners like L&T and EPHL, Pune,” Fadnavis said in a post on X.

The move is expected to strengthen Maharashtra’s position as a hub for advanced metals and defence technology, while fostering partnerships with local industry players.
