These projects stem from investment proposals received during the UP Global Investors Summit 2023, spanning various sectors such as manufacturing, renewable energy, IT, food processing, housing, real estate, hospitality, entertainment, and education.
The event will draw around 5,000 participants, including industrialists, representatives of global and Indian firms, ambassadors, high commissioners, and other distinguished guests.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Uttar Pradesh Minister for Industry Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi will also be in attendance.
Of particular significance is the implementation of investment proposals totalling ₹1.57 lakh crore in eight aspirational districts of Uttar Pradesh alone.
Launched by the Prime Minister in January 2018, the program of the aspirational district aims to uplift living standards in backward districts. Bahraich, Balrampur, Chandauli, Chitrakoot, Fatehpur, Shravasti, Siddharthnagar, and Sonbhadra are the aspirational districts in Uttar Pradesh.
