In a major push towards making Uttar Pradesh a 1 trillion-dollar economy, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to embark on an international mission to attract global investments.
As part of this initiative, the Chief Minister will soon lead investment roadshows in Singapore and Japan.
According to officials here on Monday, the upcoming visit is part of the state government’s ambitious international investment outreach plan, aimed at positioning Uttar Pradesh as a preferred destination for foreign investors.
Sources said that CM Adityanath’s tour will begin in Singapore, followed by Japan. During his visit, he is expected to meet top industrial groups, investors, and business organisations from both countries to explore investment opportunities in Uttar Pradesh.
The state’s investment promotion agency, Invest UP, has drawn up a detailed blueprint to ensure the success of this mission. Ahead of the Chief Minister’s visit, a five-member delegation will travel to Singapore and Japan to hold preliminary discussions with potential investors, business houses, and chambers of commerce.
The delegation will spend two days in Singapore and three days in Tokyo, after which it will submit its report to the state government to help finalise the Chief Minister’s itinerary.
Shashank Chaudhary, Additional CEO of Invest UP, has been entrusted with coordinating and ensuring the success of the visits. Senior ministers are also expected to accompany the chief minister as part of the high-level delegation.
Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ said the state government is consistently strengthening global partnerships to encourage foreign investment. “Under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, Uttar Pradesh is taking concrete steps to emerge as a prominent global investment destination,” he stated.
Officials added that the state also plans to hold similar investment roadshows in Taiwan, Germany, France, Russia, and the UAE. To support this effort, Invest UP has established dedicated foreign desks in each of these countries to ensure smooth coordination of investment-related activities.
The government’s key focus sectors for attracting foreign investment include semiconductors, textiles, artificial intelligence, defense, automobiles, electric vehicles, tourism, chemicals, aviation, electronics, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, technology, renewable energy, computer hardware, machinery, gas, and shipbuilding.
