Yogi Adityanath calls bulldozer a UP brand, invites manufacturing in state
The Chief Minister suggested CNH Industrial manufacture bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh alongside its new tractor plant in Gautam Budh Nagar.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday described the bulldozer as a brand associated with Uttar Pradesh and invited companies to manufacture them within the state. He made these remarks while virtually addressing the groundbreaking ceremony for a CNH Industrial tractor manufacturing plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area.
Speaking at the event, Adityanath suggested that CNH Industrial, which is establishing a plant in Sector 8D of Gautam Budh Nagar, could also produce bulldozers. He claimed that because the machine has become a brand in the state, there would be automatic demand for them both domestically and internationally.
The Chief Minister stated that the state has transitioned from being governed by mafias to being governed by legal principles. He attributed this change to a zero-tolerance policy regarding criminals and the modernisation of the police force, which he said has helped foster investor confidence.
According to reports from The Times of India and The Indian Express, the CNH Industrial plant involves an investment of over Rs 1,200 crore. Adityanath noted that Uttar Pradesh has received investment proposals worth more than Rs 50 lakh crore over the last nine and a half years.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the transformation of the Jewar region, stating it has evolved from an area known for violence into a major investment hub. He mentioned that several projects, including semiconductor and medical device parks, are currently taking shape in the region.
