The government highlighted major improvements in connectivity, including the expansion of the expressway network, growth in airport infrastructure and the development of freight corridors and inland waterways. Uttar Pradesh currently has 17 operational airports, several more under development and extensive industrial zones planned along major expressways.
The state has also reported growth in foreign direct investment, manufacturing and exports. Officials said FDI inflows have increased substantially since 2017, while the number of registered factories and export volumes have more than doubled. MSME initiatives and the One District One Product (ODOP) programme have further supported entrepreneurship, local industries and employment generation.
The government said emerging sectors such as defence manufacturing, semiconductors and data centres are strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s industrial profile. It added that continued domestic and international investment commitments have helped position the state as a major destination for business and economic growth.
