Designed to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenue generation and support sustainability goals across industrial value chains, the collaboration will also help catalyse smart adoption across all critical infrastructure.
A key component of this initiative involves developing comprehensive, digitised service offerings, financial benefit plans and a digital implementation roadmap for all departments in Maharashtra, ensuring alignment with Maharashtra Vision 2030 and net-zero sustainability objectives. The deployment of industrial solutions across Maharashtra's departments will enable real-time data analytics, predictive maintenance and operational optimisation.
The MOU outlines the initial phase of this collaboration, known as the "Lighthouse Project–Discovery Phase." The primary objectives are to:
- accelerate digital transformation: focus on modernising key sectors, including water, energy and infrastructure, using advanced technology.
- establish a foundational digital platform: Develop a single, integrated platform to enable seamless data exchange and collaboration across different government departments and private sectors.
- foster a collaborative ecosystem: create a network of partners, including government bodies, system integrators, academic institutions and private enterprises to drive innovation.
- support sustainable growth: Align technological advancements with the Maharashtra Vision 2030 and the state's Net Zero commitments.
- demonstrate tangible value: pilot and showcase use cases to prove a clear return on investment (ROI) and measure efficiency gains from these digital initiatives.
This collaboration builds on AVEVA’s history of enabling unified data management across critical public infrastructure. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, the Government of Maharashtra has deployed the AVEVA PI System to unify data monitoring and reporting, ensuring safe drinking water and improved scheme management for millions across the state. In Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), a unified operations system integrating utilities, transport and infrastructure onto a single platform has already led to a 15–20 percent reduction in energy use and emissions and a 15–18 percent decrease in water losses—supporting the city’s goal of becoming India’s most livable city by 2030.
Sue Quense, Chief Commercial Officer, AVEVA, added, "At AVEVA, we believe in the power of technology to create meaningful and lasting impact. Our collaboration with the Government of Maharashtra reflects our commitment to enable digital transformation that is both innovative and sustainable. By bringing together data, AI and cross-sector expertise, we aim to support Maharashtra in building a connected future that delivers tangible value to its citizens.”
The Connected Maharashtra initiative builds on these successes as a cornerstone of the state’s Vision 2030, with future phases planned to scale pilot projects, expand smart infrastructure across sectors such as energy, water and mobility, and build long-term digital capability through training, collaboration and measurable value creation.
