Senior officials from Invest UP, various departments, and development authorities, along with investors of the projects concerned, joined the meeting -both in person and virtually – to align efforts with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision of making Uttar Pradesh a one trillion-dollar economy.

The agenda comprised 16 issues spanning key departments including YIEDA, UPSIDA, Forest, Revenue, Higher Education, Housing, Cane Development, and Tourism. In most cases, departmental resolutions were provided. Deepak Kumar emphasized the need for all departments to resolve outstanding matters within stipulated timelines.

He stressed the need for a balanced approach between investors and departments, encouraging resolution through dialogue rather than prolonged litigation. Projects in education, hospitality, housing, and manufacturing were highlighted as facing delays due to procedural challenges.

District magistrates and departmental heads were instructed to expedite approvals and ensure a smooth, investor-friendly experience. The IIDC emphasized that timely clearances are essential to translating investment proposals into on-ground progress.

Invest UP showcased real-time project updates through the state’s single-window portal, Nivesh Mitra, highlighting its pivotal role in streamlining approvals, enhancing transparency, and reducing procedural delays.
