The state also approved the highest number of investment proposals — 780, according to the survey. During that period, Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government was in power in the state. The state was able to achieve the record investment amid Covid-19 pandemic.

When it comes to inflow of FDI, Karnataka is in top position. For the two consecutive years, it has received more FDI than Maharashtra. In 2021-22 and 2022-23 (up to September), the FDI in the neighbouring state was recorded at 1,63,795 crore and 41,678 crore, which comes to a total of 2,05,473 crore against 1,77,389 crore in Maharashtra, it pointed out.

The Shinde-Fadnavis government had faced strong criticism after big ticket investment projects that were supposed to come to Maharashtra went to Gujarat. This had also brought major backlash for the state government that is being ruled by Shiv Sena led by chief minister Eknath Shinde and Bharatiya Janata Party as the latter is in power at the centre and in Gujarat.

Among the major projects that went to Gujarat are 1.54 lakh crore Vedanta-Foxconn, 5,000 crore bulk drug park, 424 crore medical devices park and 22,000 crore Tata Airbus projects. The state government also claimed that the Vedanta-Foxconn and Tata Airbus projects went out of the state as there was no action by the then MVA government.

To counter the criticism, state industries minister Uday Samant on November 1, 2022 announced to release white paper on investment projects in a month.
