Maharashtra’s new 2025 policy elevates AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics) + XR (Extended Reality) to the status of industry, infrastructure, and essential service. This means these technologies can operate 365 days a year, receive institutional support, and attract investments more easily.
The move signals the state’s ambition to transform into a creative-tech hub. As immersive media and XR grow, this policy could accelerate studios, startups, and infrastructure in India, positioning Maharashtra as a leader in next-gen content and digital entertainment.
