Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today left on a week-long official visit to the United Arab Emirat UAE, United States of America and Canada.

A statement issued from the CM’s office said, Mr Fadnavis will interact with business leaders and visit institutions in the two countries to give momentum to infrastructure and Information Technology initiatives in Maharashtra.

He would also visit the Virgin Hyperloop trial centre in San Fransisco. In February this year, the Virgin Group had signed an intent agreement with Maharashtra to build a hyperloop transportation system between Mumbai and Pune.

The project aims to reduce the travel time between the two mega cities to 20 minutes from the three hours at present.

In Montreal, Canada, Mr Fadnavis will have discussions on the use of Artificial Intelligence in agriculture and infrastructure.
