Upcoming Projects in Maharashtra: Rs 71.2 Lakh Crore Pipeline

Projects India tracks 12,865 upcoming projects in Maharashtra — spanning infrastructure, power, industrial, real estate and water sectors — with a combined recorded project cost of approximately Rs 71.2 lakh crore as of 24 September 2026. Of these, 3,035 are marked verified. Fifty-eight projects were added to our database in the last 90 days, with 94 added in the 90 days before that. Maharashtra accounts for a significant share of the 84,414 projects tracked nationally.

Maharashtra projects at a glance

Largest upcoming projects in Maharashtra

The table below lists the highest-value projects in our database for this scope. Several are multi-state in footprint but have a material Maharashtra component.

Three distinct themes emerge from this list. First, connectivity — rail, road and telecom — dominates the top tier by value, with projects already in active construction. Second, energy security sits prominently in the pipeline: the Jaitapur nuclear project and the Ratnagiri refinery are both at the approvals stage, meaning tendering activity will follow once clearances land. Third, heavy industry in coastal Maharashtra — the JSW green steel plant in Raigad — represents a large potential demand block for industrial projects in Maharashtra, even though it is currently on hold.

Where the projects are: city-by-city distribution

Pune leads with 1,633 projects, followed by Thane (1,476), Mumbai Suburban (1,039) and Mumbai city (930). The Nagpur–Nashik–Solapur corridor accounts for a further 1,397 projects combined, reflecting the state government's push to develop Vidarbha and Marathwada alongside the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Coastal districts — Raigarh and Ratnagiri — appear in the top ten partly because of the large port, refinery and nuclear energy projects anchored there. As the chart below shows, no single city dominates to the exclusion of others, which means suppliers and contractors can build pipelines across multiple geographies rather than concentrating only in the MMR.

What stage are these projects at — and what does that mean for procurement?

Understanding where projects sit in their lifecycle is critical for anyone trying to time an approach correctly. As the chart below shows, the largest single group is Under Approvals (4,779), followed by Construction Started (3,699) and Planning (1,967).

Projects under approvals and in planning represent early-stage pipeline where design consultants, environmental agencies, surveyors and financiers are the primary service buyers. Construction Started projects are actively buying civil works, equipment, materials and labour contracting services. The 286 projects marked Nearly Completion are in their final fit-out and commissioning phase, requiring instrumentation, testing, safety systems and snag-resolution services. The 345 projects on hold are worth monitoring: a change in land status, finance closure or regulatory clearance can move them back into active procurement without much public notice, which is precisely where a live intelligence feed adds value. Infrastructure projects in Maharashtra span all of these stages simultaneously, making it important to filter by stage rather than just sector.

Sector breakdown: beyond roads and real estate

Real estate leads by project count at 3,368, but the infrastructure and industrial segments carry the larger individual project values. Roadways and highways account for 809 projects, water and sewerage pipelines for 704, and power distribution for 620. Railways (524 projects) reflects the combined weight of metro rail, freight corridors and the bullet train. Solar power projects in Maharashtra sit within the broader power sector, which includes distribution, transmission and generation. Hospitals (358 projects) and distilleries and breweries (344) round out a diverse sub-sector mix that means equipment and material suppliers across many verticals — switchgear, pumps, structural steel, pharmaceutical-grade piping, food-processing equipment — all have addressable opportunities here. As the chart below shows, the top sub-sectors by count span both public-sector infrastructure and private-sector industrial activity.

Recent additions to the Maharashtra project database

Fifty-eight projects were added to our records in the last 90 days. A selection of the most notable recent entries is below.

• GMR Warora Energy Limited — Coal Based Thermal Power Project expansion (Phase II) at Warora, Rs 11,331 crore, Construction Started. This is the largest recent addition by recorded cost and signals active civil and mechanical procurement.
• CleanMax — Solar Power Project in Maharashtra, stage Construction Started. Cost not yet recorded, but the project is live in our database and represents the growing captive and commercial solar segment in the state.
• Aurum Real Estate Developers Limited — IT Park expansion in Navi Mumbai, Construction Started. Relevant to interior fit-out, MEP and facility management suppliers.
• Samrudhi Sugars Limited — Sugar plant expansion at Jalna, Rs 120 crore, Construction Started. Relevant to process equipment and civil contractors active in Marathwada.
• Indo Amines Limited — Synthetic Organic Chemicals Manufacturing expansion at Mahad, Under Approvals. A pipeline opportunity for chemical plant engineers and equipment suppliers.
• Western Railway — Foot Over Bridge at Vile Parle and Santacruz, Mumbai, Nearly Completion. Signals imminent handover and maintenance contract opportunities.
• Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited — Road Over Bridge at Virar, Rs 27 crore, Nearly Completion.

The pace of new additions — 58 in the latest 90-day window against 94 in the prior window — reflects normal database intake variation and does not indicate a slowdown in the underlying project pipeline, given that 12,865 projects remain active across Maharashtra.

Most active promoters and what they are buying

Public Works Department, Maharashtra leads by project count with 862 projects worth a combined Rs 33,483 crore, making it the single largest source of road, bridge and building tender volume in the state. The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (223 projects, Rs 47,750 crore) and Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (122 projects, Rs 4.64 lakh crore combined cost) dominate urban infrastructure. On the utility side, Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (217 projects) and Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company (161 projects) together account for nearly 380 power sector projects — a strong signal for cable, transformer and switchgear suppliers. Central Railway (143 projects, Rs 91,322 crore) and National Highways Authority of India (102 projects, Rs 1 lakh crore) anchor the transport pipeline. Power projects in Maharashtra from these utilities span distribution network upgrades, substation construction and transmission line work across the state. For B2B sales teams, these promoters represent the accounts with the deepest, most recurring procurement pipelines.

What this means for suppliers and contractors

The Maharashtra project pipeline is wide enough to support suppliers at every scale, but timing the approach by stage is essential.

• Planning and Under Approvals (combined 6,746 projects): The right time for design consultants, environmental impact assessment firms, geotechnical survey agencies, legal advisors and project finance specialists to engage promoters. Equipment OEMs can begin technical pre-qualification and model specification at this stage.
• Approvals Received (314 projects): Tendering is typically imminent. Civil contractors, EPC firms and major equipment suppliers should have pre-qualification documents ready and be watching live government tenders in this category actively.
• Construction Started (3,699 projects): Active procurement for civil works, structural steel, electrical systems, MEP services, formwork, ready-mix concrete, site logistics and labour contracting. This is the highest-volume stage for material suppliers.
• Nearly Completion (286 projects): Final fit-out, commissioning engineers, instrumentation calibration, safety and fire systems, facility management pre-contracts and handover documentation specialists are in demand.
• Hold (345 projects): Monitor these for reactivation. A project moving off hold often goes straight to rapid tendering. Being already known to the promoter is an advantage.

The 9,911 open tenders in Maharashtra right now — spanning Military Engineer Services maintenance works, infrastructure upgrades and civic projects — represent the near-term revenue layer sitting on top of this longer-cycle project pipeline. Construction projects in Maharashtra and their associated tenders are particularly active across Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur.

How to track upcoming projects in Maharashtra

The figures in this article are drawn from the Projects India projects intelligence database, which covers 84,414 projects nationally, updated continuously. For Maharashtra specifically, the database allows filtering by city, sub-sector, stage, promoter and project cost — so a transformer manufacturer looking only at power distribution projects in Nashik that are at the Approvals Received stage can isolate exactly that slice rather than scrolling through thousands of records. Teams that want to evaluate coverage before committing can request a free sample project report. Those running active tender responses can layer in AI tender intelligence to match open bids to their capability profile. Contractor and supplier teams looking to find sub-contract partners or pre-qualify with new clients can also use the VendorConnect directory to map the ecosystem around specific projects.
