The Chief Minister suggested the firm could produce bulldozers alongside tractors at its new Gautam Buddh Nagar plant.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday suggested that CNH Industrial could manufacture bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh, noting that the machinery has become a brand associated with the state. He made the suggestion while virtually addressing the groundbreaking ceremony for the company's tractor manufacturing plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area of Gautam Buddh Nagar.
According to reports from ThePrint, Moneycontrol, and The Economic Times, Adityanath told the firm that because they are already producing tractors in the state, they could also manufacture bulldozers. He claimed there would be domestic and international demand for them as the machine has established a brand identity in the region.
The Chief Minister stated that the state has transitioned from a period of lawlessness and mafia control to a period governed by the rule of law. He attributed this change to a zero-tolerance policy towards criminals and the modernisation of the police force.
Adityanath noted that the improved security environment has helped Uttar Pradesh become a destination for investor confidence and ease of doing business. He highlighted the transformation of the Jewar region, which he said was once known for violence but is now a major investment hub.
Narendra Mittal, CNH Industrial India Region President, said the investment would strengthen the industrial ecosystem and create jobs. Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi added that the state is emerging as an electronics hub, mentioning semiconductor and electronics projects in Jewar worth approximately Rs 6,750 crore.
