The Central Government is reportedly close to approving the establishment of a defence corridor in Nagpur district, a move expected to boost Maharashtra’s role in India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem. According to government sources on October 7, 2025, the proposal is currently under review by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and may receive a final clearance within the next few weeks. The corridor, once approved, will position Nagpur as a strategic hub for defence production and research, linking existing industrial clusters across Vidarbha with suppliers and startups in the defence sector. The project aligns with the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives, encouraging indigenous manufacturing of advanced military equipment. Local officials have identified potential sites near MIHAN and Butibori, offering proximity to key logistics infrastructure such as the Nagpur airport and cargo hub. The corridor is expected to attract major defence PSUs and private players, potentially generating thousands of jobs and stimulating regional industrial growth. If approved, Nagpur would join other states like Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, which already host operational defence corridors, strengthening India’s national security manufacturing base. #NagpurNews #DefenceCorridor #MakeInIndia #AtmanirbharBharat #MaharashtraDevelopment #DefenceManufacturing #MoD #NagpurGrowth #IndustrialDevelopment #IndiaDefence
The BJP has launched the Atmanirbhar Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan in Maharashtra, a three-month-long campaign that will run from September 25 to December 25, 2025. The initiative was inaugurated by Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan and is timed to begin on the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay and conclude on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The campaign focuses on spreading the message of self-reliance and empowering citizens to adopt local products and solutions in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a self-reliant India. As part of the Abhiyan, BJP workers will engage in grassroots outreach, organize awareness drives, and conduct programs to promote “Vocal for Local” and economic self-sufficiency across Maharashtra. The initiative aims to not only strengthen the idea of Atmanirbhar Bharat but also to connect people with policies and opportunities that support entrepreneurship, skill development, and local economic growth. #news #Newsone #AtmanirbharBharat #BJP #MaharashtraPolitics #SelfReliantIndia #EconomicGrowth #PoliticalCampaign #VocalForLocal #IndiaNews @bjp
