Uttar Pradesh is set to fast-track the growth of export-driven industries, world-class manufacturing zones and modern logistics hubs, state infrastructure and industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ announced on Friday.
Addressing the Economic and Industrial Policy Conclave organised by the Indian Investors Federation during the 10th Grand Banking Leadership Summit at Hotel Taj, Gomti Nagar, the minister said the state is building a “high-trust, high-efficiency industrial ecosystem” aligned with global benchmarks. He reiterated the government’s focus on strengthening investor confidence and accelerating industrial reforms to boost competitiveness.
The conclave brought together senior bankers, policymakers, industrialists and entrepreneurs to deliberate on investment flows, MSME empowerment, credit reforms and new industrial strategies. Gupta highlighted special incentive packages designed for manufacturing, logistics and high-tech industries, noting that these are expected to draw significant NRI and global investments into Uttar Pradesh.
Industry and banking leaders welcomed the state’s industrial momentum. CEO Ajay Thakur pointed to unprecedented MSME expansion, rising capital inflows and Uttar Pradesh’s robust 8.2% GDP growth under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Executives from Canara Bank and other major national banks underscored their support for financing projects across expressways, ethanol production, the One District One Product (ODOP) initiative, food processing and renewable energy.
The discussions underscored confidence in Uttar Pradesh’s economic trajectory as the state positions itself as a major hub for manufacturing and investment.
