The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has taken another major step towards developing the Yamuna Expressway region as a global export hub with the launch of a state-of-the-art Apparel Park. The project is being developed by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) on 175 acres in Sector-29.
The Apparel Park is aimed at positioning Uttar Pradesh as a new centre for the garment and apparel industry while generating large-scale employment, particularly for women. Aligned with the ‘Make in UP’ and ‘Vocal for Local’ initiatives, the project is expected to strengthen the state’s presence in international apparel markets.

The park will be developed on a cluster model and will house around 100 export-oriented ready-made garment units producing apparel that meets global quality standards. Officials said the project’s biggest advantage is its strategic location, with direct connectivity to the Noida International Airport and the Yamuna Expressway. This is expected to significantly reduce logistics costs and ensure faster delivery for exporters, a key requirement for global trade.
A Common Facility Centre (CFC) is also being developed to support exporters and small entrepreneurs. The centre will provide shared facilities such as a modern design and training centre, testing laboratories and quality control units, an R&D centre, and marketing support services. By offering common infrastructure, the CFC will help smaller units cut costs and enhance their competitiveness in international markets.

The Apparel Park is expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs in areas including stitching, design, pattern making, packaging and quality control. The government’s focus on value-added manufacturing is aimed at strengthening the entire textile value chain, which is also expected to benefit farmers and handloom artisans across the state.
