Devendra Fadnavis recently said Nashik, known for its religious and spiritual significance, is set to emerge as a major growth engine in the coming years, with the state government launching projects worth ₹33,000 crore ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela.

The Chief Minister said development in Nashik would accelerate as the city prepares to host the mega religious congregation, whose main events are scheduled between October 31, 2026, and July 24, 2028.

“In line with the Simhastha Kumbh Mela, Nashik district, which has religious and spiritual importance, will become a growth engine of development in the coming period. Nashik will not stop in terms of development,” Fadnavis said.

He added that industrial growth in the region would gain momentum through enhanced infrastructure, improved capacity and new facilities, while increased investments are expected to create employment opportunities.
