The projects will cover electric mobility, integrated smart townships, tourism and social infrastructure and are expected to generate nearly 24,700 direct jobs. Developments will be sited over about 5,000 acres in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and other locations, with townships concentrated on roughly 2,700 acres. The townships are designed to accommodate about 200,000 people and to integrate modern planning principles, energy efficient design and green spaces. Planners intend to align utilities, transport links and public amenities to support long term urban resilience.

In mobility, Vingroup plans to deploy large scale electric taxi services, build a mobility as a service platform and establish a statewide EV charging network through its V Green arm to support Maharashtra's clean mobility objectives. The company will invest in social infrastructure, including schools under Vinschool and multi specialist hospitals through Vinmec across nearly 170 acres. Officials said the interventions aim to create integrated communities with access to education, healthcare and local employment.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis indicated the Mumbai Raigad region is expected to emerge as a globally competitive urban hub and that the state will provide support for project delivery. The announcement was accompanied by a separate plan by the group's EV arm VinFast to invest up to two billion (bn) dollars in an integrated electric vehicle and battery plant near Chennai, aimed at domestic consumption and exports. State and company representatives said they will work on implementation schedules and detailed agreements in the months ahead.
