Bulldozer is now UP's brand, says Yogi Adityanath
The Chief Minister invited companies to manufacture bulldozers in the state during a plant groundbreaking ceremony.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday invited industries to manufacture bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh, stating that the machine has become a brand for the state. He made these remarks while virtually addressing the groundbreaking ceremony for a new CNH Industrial tractor manufacturing plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region.
According to reports from The Indian Express, the Chief Minister suggested that if companies produce bulldozers and tractors locally, demand will naturally increase both within India and internationally. He claimed that a zero-tolerance policy toward criminals and bulldozer actions have helped transform the state into a major destination for investment.
The CNH Industrial plant is being established in the YEIDA area at an investment exceeding Rs 1,200 crore. Adityanath noted that the 100-acre facility is expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs and will support agricultural mechanisation.
The Chief Minister stated that Uttar Pradesh has seen investment proposals totaling more than Rs 50 lakh crore over the last nine-and-a-half years. He noted that Rs 15 lakh crore in investments have been implemented, while Rs 7.5 lakh crore in proposals are expected to reach the groundbreaking stage during the next Investors’ Summit.
Adityanath also highlighted that the number of factories in the state has risen from 14,000 to 35,000. He added that MSME units have reached one crore and startups have grown from 120 to 25,000.
