Yogi pitches state as manufacturing hub

Uttar Pradesh has secured investment proposals worth Rs 19,877 crore from Singapore-based companies, giving a major push to the state’s industrial and digital infrastructure ambitions.

Announcing the development during his visit to Singapore, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the proposed investments span data centres, renewable energy, logistics parks and group housing projects. The state government said the projects are expected to generate more than 20,000 jobs.

Adityanath is on a four-day tour of Singapore and Japan beginning February 23, with two days scheduled in each country to attract global investments and forge industrial partnerships.

Big-ticket proposals

Among the key commitments, Universal Success Group proposed Rs 6,650 crore for investments in group housing, logistics parks and data centres.

Golden State Capital (GSC) announced an Rs 8,000 crore investment to set up a 100-megawatt data centre in Uttar Pradesh, a move seen as critical in positioning the state as a major data centre hub in India.

The Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) committed Rs 2,500 crore toward renewable energy, green hydrogen and agri-solar (Agri-PV) projects. Additionally, AVPN Limited pledged Rs 2,727 crore for renewable and Agri-PV initiatives, strengthening the state’s green energy roadmap.

Push for skills and technology

In a parallel move, a cooperation agreement was signed with ITE Education Services (ITEES) to enhance Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Uttar Pradesh. The partnership aims to upgrade academic standards, infrastructure, leadership capacity and quality assurance systems to align the state’s skill ecosystem with global benchmarks.

Global outreach

During the tour, Adityanath is scheduled to meet representatives of 33 global companies — 25 in Singapore and eight in Japan — as part of government-to-business (G-to-B) engagements and investor roundtables.

Discussions are expected with executives from Google, Toshiba, and Suzuki Motor Corporation, focusing on data infrastructure, renewable energy, agribusiness and automobile manufacturing.

Officials said the chief minister is pitching Uttar Pradesh as the “manufacturing hub of India,” highlighting the state’s industrial policy, land bank availability, expressway network, logistics backbone and skill development initiatives.

After concluding the Singapore leg, the delegation will travel to Japan on February 25 and 26 to continue investor outreach.

With nearly Rs 20,000 crore worth of proposals secured on the first leg itself, the visit signals Uttar Pradesh’s aggressive push to attract foreign capital and accelerate job creation.
