| Uttar Pradesh emerges as the new hub of investment and growth: PM Modi | | |  Early Times Report
GAUTAM BUDDHA NAGAR, Sept 25: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday inaugurated the 3rd edition of the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS) at the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was also present on the occasion.
In his address, the Prime Minister described the recently implemented Next Generation GST reform as a landmark in India's economic journey. He said, "The reform has not only provided major relief to consumers, but has also energized trade and industry." "GST reforms are putting monthly savings directly into the pockets of common families, and these savings will further strengthen India's growth story," he added.
Calling upon investors to explore the immense opportunities in Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi said the state, under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is scaling new heights of development and has now emerged as a vibrant hub of investment and progress.
The Prime Minister emphasised the importance of promoting indigenous products and establishing their global identity. He noted that today every Indian proudly says, "This is Swadeshi," and this sentiment must be further reinforced. "Whatever can be made in India, must be made in India," he said, adding that self-reliance is no longer an option but a necessity, as dependence on others restricts growth. Urging entrepreneurs to design business models that strengthen Atmanirbhar Bharat, he emphasized that only user-friendly and durable products can build the credibility of Indian manufacturing.
Highlighting Uttar Pradesh's transformation, PM Modi described the state as a hub of investment and development brimming with opportunities. He pointed out that in recent years, Uttar Pradesh has witnessed a connectivity revolution that has significantly reduced logistics costs. With the highest number of expressways and international airports in the country, the state has become a gateway of progress. He cited major infrastructure projects, such as the Dedicated Freight Corridor and the Defence Corridor, which are shaping Uttar Pradesh into an industrial powerhouse.
The Prime Minister also mentioned flagship initiatives like Namami Gange and One District One Product (ODOP), which are boosting cruise and heritage tourism while placing Uttar Pradesh firmly on the global map. He noted that the state now contributes 55% of India's mobile phone production, and a new semiconductor facility soon to be commissioned here will take India's journey towards self-reliance to the next level.
On the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, PM Modi recalled the principle of Antyodaya, ensuring that the benefits of development reach the poorest of the poor. He underlined that Antyodaya forms the very foundation of social justice, and this is the model India is presenting to the world. |
