NSL Group Chairman M Prabhakar Rao described Uttar Pradesh as a very important state in terms of agriculture. “We have been working there for the last 10 years and have watched the state develop under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi. The government has provided an excellent environment for investment. Investors, who are already there, are now thinking in terms of expanding their businesses. We also have a setup in Noida and the way the government has controlled the law and order situation in this area is really commendable. This has brought a lot of relief to the IT (information technology) companies operating there,” Rao remarked.
