Multiple projects from overseas are "waiting" to come to Maharashtra and the Eknath Shinde-BJP government will provide conducive environment to industrialists to set up their units, Union minister Narayan Rane said on Tuesday, comments coming in the backdrop of the state losing out on some mega ventures in the last few months.

The Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), in Pune to attend an exhibition organised by the FICCI Ladies Organisation, said the recent criticism of the Shinde-led government over some projects moving to adjoining Gujarat was political in nature.
