Aimed at turning the state of Uttar Pradesh into a $1-trillion economy, as envisioned by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state government has geared up to organise roadshows at divisional headquarters. The roadshows will be organised by the UP State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA).
“After achieving the investment target of more than Rs 1 lakh crore, UPSIDA will organise roadshows at the divisional headquarters on the instructions of CM Yogi Adityanath,” a government spokesman said here on Tuesday.
Industrial Development Minister Nandgopal Nandi will be the chief guest at each road show. UPSIDA was given a revised investment target of Rs 1 lakh crore, which has already been met. All the major industrial groups have signed MoUs with the authority management for investment.
UPSIDA chief executive officer Mayur Maheshwari said their industrial areas have a land bank of more than 15,000 acres. So far, MoUs with various institutions involving an investment of Rs 85,000 crore have been signed. The division-wise roadshows will be held in Prayagraj on January 15, in Varanasi in January 16, in Agra on January 19, in Meerut on January 20, in Kanpur on January 22, in Ayodhya on January 23, in Bareilly on January 24 and in Jhansi on February 2.
