UPGIS 2023: Uttar Pradesh’s golden era has begun, says Mukesh Ambani

Lucknow: Hailing the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for driving change in the country and the state respectively, the leading industrialists of the country and abroad, said on Friday that the UP Global Investors Summit (GIS), 2023, was going to play a big role in fulfilling the CM’s goal of making the state a $1 trillion economy. The industrialists exuded confidence in Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership and described UP as the most reliable state for investors.

Reliance Industries’ CMD, Mukesh Ambani, said: “Uttar Pradesh is on way to become Uttam Pradesh. The UP government has created a good environment for investment by facilitating infrastructure such as highways, expressways, and rail traffic, in addition to making the state crime-free. Today, UP has become a hub of investment because of its transparent policies, reforms, and strict law and order. Uttar Pradesh has become the center of hope for a new India.”

He added: “The golden era of UP has begun. Both industry and cooperation are needed for the development of the state. UP is becoming an ‘enterprise state’ by imbibing the mantra of PM Modi, ‘Reform, Perform and Transform.’

There is a greater harmony between rural and urban India in UP. In order for India to become a $5 trillion economy, UP must become a $1 trillion economy state. The state is making progress toward this goal under the leadership of CM Yogi.”

Ambani said that Reliance Jio would complete its rollout of 5G in UP covering every town and village of the state by December 2023 and that the company planned to invest an additional Rs 75,000 crores in the next four years across Jio, retail and renewable energy businesses providing an additional 1 lakh jobs to the youths of the state.

He further remarked that Reliance Industries is working in the field of bioenergy and that the venture would benefit farmers as well as help with solid waste management and improve the environment. “In a nutshell, Reliance will continue to work for UP, jee jaan se,” he said.
