During the last three and a half years, Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the top investment destination, receiving 98 investment proposals worth Rs 13,408.19 crore in the manufacturing sector, according to an official statement released. Big businessmen from India and outside are investing heavily in infrastructure, food processing, textile, electronic manufacturing, real estate, electricity, and manufacturing sectors in Uttar Pradesh.
“However, of all these sectors, manufacturing is the most preferred among them and is booming,” officials said in the statement.
The receipt of 98 investment offers totaling Rs 13,408.19 crore in the industrial sector over the last three and a half years attests to this, they claim.
The industrial sector received the necessary boost after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath implemented regulatory reforms to create a favourable climate for investments in the state, according to the statement.
According to Department of Industrial Development data, investment proposals in the manufacturing sector include 10 bids for Rs 4,250 crore from international investors and 88 proposals from local firms to build up big manufacturing facilities in the state.
Over 22,000 people might be employed as a result of this. The Yogi administration has granted land to 66 of 88 businessmen for the establishment of manufacturing facilities.
The majority of these manufacturers have finished the building of their units and have begun production. Aside from that, the statement stated that 26 big industrialists are pushing through with their intentions to establish businesses.
