On the inaugural day of his official visit to Singapore, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath successfully secured three significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Universal Success Group, totaling a substantial investment of Rs 6,650 crore. These agreements, signed on Monday, are poised to catalyze substantial economic growth and infrastructure development across the state.
Strategic Investments to Boost Uttar Pradesh's Economy
The newly inked MoUs encompass a diverse range of projects, including group housing developments, a state-of-the-art logistics park, and a cutting-edge hyperscale data centre. Collectively, these initiatives are projected to generate more than 20,000 employment opportunities, significantly bolstering the state's industrial and urban infrastructure framework.
During his interactions with investors, Chief Minister Adityanath highlighted the policy stability, enhanced connectivity, and rapidly expanding industrial ecosystem in Uttar Pradesh. He extended a formal invitation to the Universal Success Group to visit Lucknow, the state capital, to explore further opportunities for establishing data centre facilities. Adityanath assured the investors of comprehensive support at all governmental levels to facilitate smooth project implementation.
Detailed Breakdown of the Three MoU Projects
International Theme-Based Township: The first MoU involves the development of an international theme-based township on a sprawling 100-acre plot near the Jewar International Airport, within the jurisdiction of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority. This ambitious project, with an investment of Rs 3,500 crore, is expected to create approximately 12,000 jobs. Scheduled for launch in 2027, it aims to enrich the rapidly evolving urban landscape surrounding the airport.
Logistics Park Development: The second agreement focuses on the establishment of a modern logistics park on 50 acres along the strategic Kanpur-Lucknow Highway. With an investment of Rs 650 crore, this facility is projected to generate about 7,500 employment opportunities.
