The Yogi Government has recently unveiled a new Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Scheme specifically designed to bolster investments from Fortune-500 companies on the global stage. Notably, 14 Fortune-500 listed companies have a presence in the state. Now, extensive efforts are being made in Uttar Pradesh to increase this number.
Recently, Japan’s Fuji Silvertech Concrete Pvt Ltd became the first company to make a planned investment of more than Rs 1 billion after the implementation of the new FDI policy. Fuji Silvertech has been allotted 20 acres of land at 75 per cent concessional rates in Sector-32 of Yamuna Expressway Industrial development Authority (YEIDA) region to set up manufacturing facilities. This location is near the upcoming Noida International Airport (Jewar).
Another noteworthy Fortune-500 company, Sify Infinit Space, is expected to receive subsidised land for the establishment of a data center in Sector-28. Concurrently, during the upcoming World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, CM Yogi’s delegation is set to engage with leaders of Fortune 500 companies, seeking extensive investments in the state through FDI.
Simultaneously, the Yogi Government is diligently working towards showcasing the comprehensive economic landscape of Uttar Pradesh on various global platforms. To intensify these efforts, a proactive contact and coordination approach is being adopted, ensuring a robust presence in global economic forums. The aim is to encourage global industry leaders to consider substantial investments in the state.
Uttar Pradesh has made remarkable strides in attracting foreign investment in recent years, experiencing a substantial increase compared to the preceding years. Between 2019 and 2023, the state witnessed nearly four times more foreign investment than in the 17-year span from 2001 to 2017.
