“Come, invest in UP we don’t have dearth of land,” CM tells Mumbai investors
MUMBAI, Jan 5 (The CONNECT) – UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has called upon the country’s industry to contribute towards realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s $5 trillion economy goal for India by investing in Uttar Pradesh, through which the path to the prosperous self-reliant India passes.
The largest state is working diligently to fulfil PM’s resolution as it has potential, vision and immense possibilities. “We are providing every necessary assistance and resource to the investors in our state and they must take advantage of this”, he pointed out.
Addressing the country’s leading industrialists, representatives of financial, banking and industrial institutions, businessmen and investors in the country’s financial capital the Chief Minister invited them all to the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit to be held in Lucknow from February 10-12.
Referring to the success of the UP roadshow held abroad in connection with GIS 23, the Chief Minister said that this was the first time after independence when the UP team had visited 21 cities in 16 countries to invite investors and it received tremendous response. “We received investment proposals worth more than Rs seven lakh crores during the roadshows.
In the programme which lasted for more than one and a half hours, the Chief Minister explained in detail about the possibilities inherent in the commercial, cultural, spiritual and social values, traditions, diversities of Uttar Pradesh from the point of view of investment.

Giving credit to Prime Minister Modi’s guidance for positive change and creation of investment-friendly environment in the state, the Chief Minister said that before 2017 there used to be riots every day in the state.
“Today six years have passed but there has not been a single riot anywhere. Everyone would be familiar with the firing incident in Bhatta-Parsaul for land acquisition, but today we have acquired the same land for the fourth phase of construction of Asia’s biggest airport with farmers themselves visiting the Chief Minister’s residence to hand over the registry papers,” he said.
Inviting investors to come to UP, the Chief Minister said that there is no dearth of land, the prime requirement for industries.
Uttar Pradesh is the state with the most fertile land, the CM said. “We have 11% of the country’s total agricultural land but we produce 20% of food grains. If we make a little effort together, we can alone produce more than 30% of the country’s total requirement of foodgrains.”
The Chief Minister said that in this heartland state of India there is no sector, be it agriculture, food processing or dairy, start up, infrastructure development, defence production etc., where there is no scope for growth. Sharing the ongoing efforts for the development of UP, the Chief Minister mentioned opening of expressways, airports and metros and he country’s first waterway, registration of 96 lakh registered MSME units, as well as signing of investment agreements worth Rs 4.68 lakh crore of which projects worth Rs 4 lakh crore came on the ground in five years.
Inviting the UP GIS industry, the Chief Minister said, “We have ensured that there is zero human intervention from the government level in the process of industrial projects through Nivesh Mitra and Nivesh Sarathi portals. After signing the MoU, the Chief Minister’s Office directly monitors the progress of the project.”
