Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Greenlights Major Industrial Investment Worth Rs 3,540 Crore
In a significant boost to industrial development, the Uttar Pradesh cabinet has approved investment proposals totaling Rs 3,540 crore, paving the way for the establishment of five super mega industrial units across key districts of the state. Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ announced this landmark decision, highlighting its potential to transform the economic landscape.
Strategic Locations for Mega Industrial Projects
The proposed units will be strategically located in five crucial districts: Ayodhya, Gorakhpur, Rae Bareli, Fatehpur, and Mirzapur. This geographic spread aims to ensure balanced regional development and create substantial employment opportunities across Uttar Pradesh.
To facilitate swift project implementation, Letters of Comfort will be issued to the companies shortly. This administrative step is designed to streamline processes and accelerate the establishment of these industrial giants.
Detailed Breakdown of Major Investments
The cabinet's approval encompasses several high-value projects from prominent companies:
- Pakka Limited will invest Rs 676.26 crore to establish a unit in Ayodhya, marking a significant industrial presence in this culturally important district.
- Gallant Ispat Limited is set to develop a Rs 765.11 crore unit in Gorakhpur, contributing to the region's industrial infrastructure.

Additional Capital Subsidy Approval
In a complementary move, the cabinet also approved a capital subsidy of Rs 6.88 crore for Radico Khaitan Limited for its existing unit in Sitapur. This subsidy underscores the government's support for both new investments and the expansion of established industrial operations.
Minister Nandi emphasized that these approvals are part of a broader strategy to attract industrial investments and boost economic development across Uttar Pradesh. The establishment of these super mega units is expected to create thousands of jobs, stimulate local economies, and position the state as a premier industrial destination in India.
