Uttar Pradesh Accelerates Industrial Growth, Secures Record Investment Commitments

Uttar Pradesh is rapidly positioning itself as one of India’s most attractive investment destinations, driven by investment-friendly policies, improved law and order, and a strengthened industrial environment. Over the past eight years, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state has developed a robust industrial ecosystem that has significantly elevated its Ease of Doing Business standards.

Digital platforms such as the Nivesh Mitra single-window portal have made approval procedures faster and more transparent, boosting investor confidence. Intending to become a USD 1 trillion economy, the state government has introduced more than 33 sector-specific policies to promote investment, including the flagship Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy 2022, the FDI/FCI Policy 2023, and dedicated policies for semiconductors, defence manufacturing, electric vehicles, energy, and data centres.

More than Rs 120 billion worth of LOCs have also been issued under the FDI/FCI Policy 2023, reflecting the state’s growing global appeal.

The government is preparing projects worth over Rs 5 trillion for the upcoming Ground Breaking Ceremony (GBC-5). The four previous GBCs have already ushered Uttar Pradesh into a new phase of rapid industrial expansion. Since 2018, investments exceeding Rs 15 trillion have been implemented in sectors including IT and electronics, energy, defence, skill development, housing, and manufacturing, demonstrating policy stability and a consistently supportive environment for industries.

Large corporations such as Samsung, Vivo, Dixon, ACC, JK Cement, Dalmia Cement, Adani Power, Tata Power, Pepsi’s Varun Beverages, Coca-Cola bottler SLMG, Azure, ST Telemedia, Microsoft, and Adobe have established operations in the state over the past eight years, generating thousands of jobs.
