Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has invited Singaporean companies to invest across manufacturing, multimodal logistics, semiconductors, data centres, green energy and urban infrastructure, as the state steps up efforts to achieve its trillion-dollar economy ambition.
At a meeting with a 14-member delegation from the Singapore Business Federation on Wednesday, the Chief Minister proposed the development of a dedicated ‘Singapore City’ and a high-tech industrial township near the Noida International Airport at Jewar. He assured investors of comprehensive government support, from the signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to project implementation and the commencement of commercial operations.
The meeting resulted in the handover of an eligibility certificate for one investment project and the exchange of MoUs with two companies, marking progress towards translating investment proposals into industrial projects.
Adityanath said the state’s objective was not merely to attract investment commitments but to ensure their timely execution, generate employment and strengthen manufacturing capacity. He highlighted the complementarity between Singapore’s technological capabilities and management expertise and Uttar Pradesh’s large consumer market, skilled workforce and expanding infrastructure.
Recalling his visit to Singapore in February 2026, the Chief Minister said investment agreements worth approximately ₹60,000 crore had been reached during the visit. He reiterated the state’s commitment to providing investors with security, policy stability and assistance in securing timely project approvals and execution.
Manufacturing and Logistics Infrastructure in Focus
Highlighting Uttar Pradesh’s industrial development plans, Adityanath said the state was developing 27 integrated manufacturing and logistics clusters. The six nodes of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, located in Lucknow, Kanpur, Jhansi, Agra, Aligarh and Chitrakoot, have attracted investment proposals exceeding ₹35,000 crore.
He identified multimodal logistics, warehousing, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, data centres, cloud services, artificial intelligence, clean energy and waste management as priority areas for Singaporean investment.
The region around Jewar, supported by its expressway network and connectivity to the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors, could emerge as a major supply chain and logistics hub for North India.
The Chief Minister also highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s manufacturing strengths, stating that the state accounts for approximately 55 per cent of India’s mobile phone production and nearly 60 per cent of electronic component manufacturing. Its contribution of around 21 per cent to the country’s foodgrain production also presents opportunities for investment in food processing, packaging and export-oriented industries.
₹775-Crore Packaging Hub to Generate 1,880 Jobs
Among the projects discussed, Greater Nashik Infracon Private Limited, associated with Singapore-based Universal Success Enterprises Group, received an eligibility certificate for the allocation of 50 acres in Sector 8D of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area.
The company plans to establish a Universal Packaging Hub with an investment of ₹775 crore, including foreign direct equity from Singapore. The project is expected to generate approximately 1,880 direct jobs, adding to the region’s industrial and employment base.
An MoU was also exchanged with Agricorp International for setting up a manufacturing unit to produce soy protein isolate and chickpea protein concentrate. The proposed facility is expected to support agricultural processing, value addition and the development of higher-value food products.
Waste Management Projects in Noida and Saharanpur
Blue Planet Environmental Solutions, a global waste management company, signed an MoU to undertake waste treatment projects in Uttar Pradesh.
The proposed projects include the treatment of approximately 7.5 lakh tonnes of legacy waste in Sector 145, Noida, and the processing of fresh waste at a capacity of 350 tonnes per day in Saharanpur.
The initiatives are expected to contribute to improved waste management and environmental sustainability while creating opportunities for investment in urban environmental infrastructure.
Opportunities in Tourism and Urban Development
Beyond manufacturing and logistics, Adityanath invited Singaporean investors to explore tourism and hospitality projects in Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura-Vrindavan and Prayagraj, as well as destinations along the Buddhist Circuit.
Urban planning and township development were also highlighted as potential areas of collaboration, particularly in Lucknow, the State Capital Region and emerging urban centres.
The proposed Singapore City near Jewar reflects the state’s broader strategy of integrating industrial development, modern urban infrastructure and international investment around a major aviation and logistics gateway.
Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh was focused on converting its investment potential into operational manufacturing facilities, stronger infrastructure, employment opportunities and sustainable economic growth. The state is seeking to deepen its economic partnership with Singapore as part of its wider ambition to become a leading destination for international investment and a major contributor to India’s manufacturing and logistics growth.
