The Lucknow administration signed 262 memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with entrepreneurs at the daylong summit held at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan. According to state government’s ‘Invest UP’ portal, around 331 investors have expressed their intent to invest in the state capital.

Out of total investment, the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) roped in investment of 15,485 crore through 68 proposals. Vice chairman, LDA, Indramani Tripathi gave a presentation of these proposals related with housing projects. As per him, these projects will ensure housing facilities for around 60,000 people and will also ensure direct and indirect employment to around 50,000 locals.

“The LDA has already approved maps of around 90 percent of these projects. Remaining approvals will be given at the earliest,” said the LDA vice chairman.

Inaugurating the summit, deputy CM Brajesh Pathak said: “Industrialists and the government are the two wheels of the same cart. Goal will be achieved if we walk together. The state government has come up with a new industrial policy that has opened doors for investment. Today, investors have full faith in the BJP government.”

On the occasion, Pathak also listed out projects of the state government and air connectivity between various cities in Uttar Pradesh. “Today every major city in the state has air connectivity from Lucknow. This is the reason why business is also increasing and traders need not go outside for business,” he added.

The deputy CM also gave examples of Amroha’s dholak, Pilibhit’s flute, Lucknow’s chikan business, Prayagraj’s guava, Aligarh’s lock, Moradabad’s brass industry and Meerut’s sports industry where entrepreneurs are getting business at their native places itself.

Pathak also attacked the previous Samajwadi Party government for lack of industries before the BJP came to power in the state in 2017. “At the summit, MoUs of over 50,000 crore have been signed with industrialists. Now, we will ensure that these projects are rolled out at the earliest. The administration will ensure all help to industrialists in setting up their units,” said Lucknow district magistrate Surya Pal Gangwar.
