Early Times Report
Lucknow, June 11: The Yogi government is steadily transforming Uttar Pradesh into an “Udyam Pradesh” (Enterprise State), with a clear focus on achieving the $1 trillion economy goal. While large-scale industrial clusters for defense and semiconductor manufacturing are underway, equal emphasis is being placed on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs)—key drivers of grassroots entrepreneurship. In line with CM Yogi’s vision, the establishment of 15 MSME-focused industrial zones across 11 districts is being fast-tracked.
The draft blueprint prepared by the MSME department outlines that a total of 764.31 acres will be developed for these industrial estates. Across these estates, 872 industrial plots will be available for investors to set up their enterprises. This will not only strengthen the MSME sector in the state but also play a vital role in achieving the one trillion-dollar economy target.
The department’s roadmap includes a state-wide campaign to create a substantial land bank. As part of this, the process of making land available for the 15 MSME estates in the 11 districts is underway. Key land allocations include:
• Aligarh (Gabhana): 116 acres
• Etah (Jalesar): 6.8 acres
• Firozabad (Tundla): 19 acres, Sirsaganj: 10 acres
• Kanpur Dehat (Akbarpur-Kumbi): 59 acres, Duwari: 172 acres
• Lalitpur (Bighakhet): 9.8 acres, Pulwara: 44 acres, Jharar: 8.6 acres
• Mahoba: 37 acres
Similarly, land has been earmarked in:
Prayagraj (Sadar): 8 acres
Pratapgarh (Raniganj): 39.7 acres
Mirzapur (Chunar): 35 acres
Mau (Sadar): 84 acres
Raebareli (Sadar): 58 acres
YEIDA’s Initiative to Promote the MSME Sector
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is also working on a major plan to boost the MSME sector. YEIDA has reserved 500 acres of land for setting up MSME units in its upcoming development zones. |
