Lucknow, September 1 (IANS). Jagdeep Dhankhar had praised the industrial policies of the Yogi government at the UP International Trade Show organized in Greater Noida on 25/2024. In his address, he had said, “Due to the continuous efforts of the state government, Uttar Pradesh is fast becoming an enterprise state. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is playing on the front foot to establish good governance in the state. Due to his efforts, there is a 360-degree transformation in the state.” Change is visible. Uttar Pradesh has become the favorite state of the world’s investors. The work being done regarding world class airports and highways is praiseworthy. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also often appeals to investors to invest in UP, security and good governance is my guarantee.
Jagdeep Dhankhar’s words and Yogi’s guarantee of security and good governance have brought about a radical change in the industrial eco system of Uttar Pradesh in the last seven years are also being proved true in the figures.
Noida and Greater Noida are creating new paradigms in industrial development. Now Yamuna Development Authority is also included in it. After the operationalization of Jewar International Airport, the development of this area will gain wings. Considering the way many countries are interested in investment and corporate offices in this area, it is possible that in the coming few years, the area around Jewar may become one of the most preferred investment destinations in the country and the world.
Bundelkhand and Purvanchal are also following the same footsteps due to better connectivity. Bundelkhand is becoming a hub of solar energy. The Defense Corridor is further boosting the atmosphere here. The government plans to create an industrial corridor, BIDA (Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority), bigger than Noida, by including 33 villages of Jhansi in 36 thousand acres between Kanpur and Jhansi. Work on this has also started.
State Capital Region (SCR) has been formed on the lines of National Capital Region (NCR) by combining five districts near Lucknow. With the establishment of Textile Park in 1162 acres on the border of Lucknow and Hardoi and construction of IT Park, STP Park, Incubation Centre, State Data Center in 40 acres of Lucknow Amausi Industrial Area, the state capital will also become a hub of industry. In the coming few years, the State Capital Region will catch up with the National Capital Region in terms of development.
Yogi government is connecting Bundelkhand Expressway with Chitrakoot through Link Expressway. For this, during his two-day visit to Chitrakoot, the CM has also approved Rs 13 billion. Development of Bundelkhand and Purvanchal is one of the special priorities of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. This land of bravery and values will also write a golden history of development through other development schemes including Defense Corridor. Similarly, in the Chief Minister’s home district Gorakhpur, the fertilizer factory which was closed for almost two decades has been reopened. That too with more production capacity than before. GIDA has also emerged as a preferred destination for investment in the last 35 years of its establishment. Encouraged by this, the government is developing an industrial corridor in about 800 acres on both sides of the Gorakhpur Link Expressway connecting Gorakhpur to Purvanchal Expressway.
There is a large patch of barren land around Dhuriapar in Dakshinanchal of Gorakhpur. Farming is very difficult here. A new industrial city is being built in this area on about 5500 acres. If this happens, Gorakhpur will emerge as the biggest investment hub between Patna and Kathmandu. It is noteworthy that the Yogi government has implemented a special incentive scheme for the industrial development of relatively backward Bundelkhand and Purvanchal. The government is going to develop about 5500 acres of industrial corridor along the expressways of the state. Being Bundelkhand and Chitrakoot Link Expressway and Purvanchal and Gorakhpur Link Expressway, Bundelkhand and Purvanchal will get maximum benefit from it.
There are some investment related figures which prove how the industrialists from the country and the world are eager to invest in UP. MoUs worth more than Rs 4.68 lakh crore and implementation of projects worth more than Rs 4 lakh crore at UP Investors Summit. Work started on about 1500 projects worth Rs 10.11 lakh crore in Ground Breaking Ceremony 4.0. 28029 MoUs agreed upon in UP Global Investors Summit, investment proposals worth more than Rs 40 lakh crore.
