New Delhi, Apr 1: Over the past nine years, the Yogi government has established a new identity for Uttar Pradesh in the field of industrial development. As a result of good governance, transparent policies, and visionary leadership, 17,841 new factories have been registered in the state from April 2017 until now.
This is particularly significant because from India’s independence in 1947 until March 2017, nearly 70 years, only 14,178 factories had been registered. The total number of registered factories in the state now stands at 32,019.
Principal Secretary of Labour and Employment, Dr. M.K. Shanmuga Sundaram, stated that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath envisions making the state the largest economy in the country. To achieve this, the government focused on improving ease of doing business, creating an investor-friendly environment, and ensuring transparent procedures.
Facilities such as a single-window system, online clearances, land banks, improved law and order, and strong infrastructure have attracted both domestic and international investors.
17,841 factories registered after April 2017, including 10,194 since September 2023. 1,653,179 people employed in these factories, including 1,23,272 women, indicating growing socio-economic transformation. Regional distribution: Western UP – 10,895; Central UP – 3,526; Eastern UP – 3,205; Bundelkhand – 215. Factory sizes: 14,412 employ up to 100 workers, 3,213 employ 101–1,000 workers, 118 employ more than 1,000 workers.
Strict law and order measures and major infrastructure projects, including expressways, the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, airports, and logistics hubs, have accelerated industrial growth and employment generation.
These efforts have transformed Uttar Pradesh from being primarily an agrarian state to an emerging industrial powerhouse, strengthening the local economy and livelihoods of millions of families.
