Uttar Pradesh Government Extends Udyami Mitras Tenure to Strengthen Investor Support
In a significant move to enhance investor facilitation and streamline business operations, the Uttar Pradesh government has approved the extension of tenure for 108 Udyami Mitras until May 2026. This decision was made during a high-level steering committee meeting chaired by Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner Deepak Kumar at the Invest UP office in Lucknow.
Expanding Investment Outreach and Support
The committee also greenlit the recruitment of 24 additional Udyami Mitras, including 10 dedicated to Satellite Investment Promotion Offices in key metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and New Delhi. This expansion aims to broaden the state's investment outreach and attract more businesses to Uttar Pradesh.
Udyami Mitras serve as dedicated relationship managers for investors, guiding projects from conceptualization to commissioning. They assist in navigating regulatory processes, resolving bottlenecks, and ensuring smooth project implementation. The extension of their tenure underscores the government's commitment to providing continuous support to investors.
Entrepreneurship Development and Digital Streamlining
As part of efforts to boost entrepreneurship, the committee reviewed a proposal to establish an Entrepreneurship Development Cell at Invest UP. This initiative is expected to support over 1,000 entrepreneurs through structured programs, sector-specific accelerators, and investor connect platforms, fostering innovation and business growth in the state.
Additionally, officials discussed measures to further streamline approvals and enhance digital services for investors ahead of the rollout of the upgraded single-window system, Nivesh Mitra 3.0. This system aims to simplify regulatory processes and improve the ease of doing business in Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing Investor Issues and Ensuring Accountability
The meeting addressed more than 10 investor issues related to land use conversion, statutory clearances, duty exemptions, and infrastructure connectivity. Departments were directed to ensure time-bound action on these matters, emphasizing accountability and efficiency.
Commissioner Deepak Kumar stressed the importance of fast-tracking investment proposals and improving the overall business environment in the state. Senior officials present at the meeting included Aparna U, Vijay Kiran Anand, and Prerna Sharma, highlighting the collaborative effort to drive economic growth and investor confidence in Uttar Pradesh.
