The Maharashtra cabinet, led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has approved the establishment of a new Department of Electronics, Information Technology, and Artificial Intelligence. This department aims to enhance the state's digital governance as part of the 'Viksit Bharat 2047' vision. The existing Directorate of Information Technology will be upgraded to a Commissionerate, and a dedicated IT cadre will be created with permanent positions across various levels of government. Additionally, the cabinet approved the financial restructuring of the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited, which includes raising ₹32,679 crore (approximately $3.9 billion USD) through government-backed bonds. The restructuring will separate the agricultural distribution business and prepare the company for stock market listing. Furthermore, the Maharashtra Remote Sensing Application Centre will be transformed into a company to facilitate better project execution in urban planning and agricultural technology. The cabinet also launched the Maharashtra Responsive Development Programme, which will receive ₹165 crore (approximately $20 million USD) from the World Bank to support disaster management efforts, including flood mitigation plans in Kolhapur, Sangli, and Ichalkaranji.
