Maharashtra CM Fadnavis on US visit from tomorrow, to ink MoU with Oracle

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will be on a four-day tour to the US with a delegation to ink a major MoU with IT giant Oracle from September 18.

The delegation is also expected to meet executives from leading IT companies during the visit.

An official at the Chief Minister's Office said the state was likely to benefit with huge investment by the IT major.

The agreement is seen as one of the largest investments Fadnavis government has attracted in its two-year stint.

"It is probably larger than the investment agreement with the electronic manufacturing giant Foxconn, which signed an MoU for the investment of 5 billion USD in August last year," the official said.

Principal Secretary, Information Technology, Vijay Kumar Gautam and Officer on Special Duty in the CMO, Kaustubh Dhawase will accompany Fadnavis on the tour.
