UP’s dominance increases in electronic goods market and IT sector

Lucknow: In a major achievement for the Yogi Adityanath-led government, Uttar Pradesh has emerged as one of the leading states in the country in the IT sector and electronic goods market. UP currently contributes 40 per cent of the mobile headsets and a staggering 55 per cent of the nation’s mobile components produced in the country.

This remarkable feat is just one example of Uttar Pradesh’s dominant position in the consumer electronics market nationally, making it the largest exporter of electronic goods in the country.

Furthermore, as the rapidly emerging IT hub of the nation, Uttar Pradesh is not only making a mark domestically but also gaining international recognition. These accomplishments vividly reflect the visionary and steadfast commitment of CM Yogi, as underscored by the recent data from Invest India.

It is noteworthy that Invest India works as an agency under the Central Ministry of Commerce and Industry, whose main objective is to promote national investment promotion and facilitation.

The impact of the efforts made by the double-engine government in Uttar Pradesh to harness the state’s immense potential is becoming evident on both national and global scales. Invest India data reveals that despite a population equivalent to Brazil, the proper implementation of the vision of PM Modi and CM Yogi in the state has brought about massive positive changes in Uttar Pradesh.

It is noteworthy that as per CM Yogi’s intentions, core sectors have been selected to promote industrial and economic activities in the state, in which Ease of Doing Business is being promoted through various processes including policy formulation, concessions and land allotment. Consequently, in the last few years, industrial and business activities in every sector of Uttar Pradesh have had a positive direction. The state is not only excelling in food grain production, but is also leaving its mark in numerous other sectors.

UP’s strength continues to increase in IT, handloom, tourism and agro sectors

According to Invest India data, 196 companies related to the Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) sector are operating in Uttar Pradesh. Furthermore, there are 30 Special Economic Zones and 40 IT and ITES Parks, which are collectively shaping Uttar Pradesh into the emerging IT hub of the nation.

Owing to the policies of the Yogi government, research and development centres have developed in Noida and Greater Noida. Similarly, companies doing research on semiconductors also have a wide presence in these areas due to their close proximity to Delhi.

UP’s dominance increases in numerous sectors

Uttar Pradesh is currently gaining recognition for having the largest road network across the country. Cities like Meerut, Moradabad, Kannauj, Kanpur, Agra, Varanasi, Bhadohi, and Lucknow are solidifying their positions as the main business centres within the state. Uttar Pradesh has already established itself as a leader in the production of food grains, contributing more than 8 per cent of the country’s total food production.

Additionally, the state ranks third in fish production and holds the top position in frozen meat production. With the presence of 15 Agro and Food Processing Clusters and 4 Agriculture Export Zones, Uttar Pradesh is continually progressing in the field of food processing.
