A total of 1,58,229 industrial units have been set up in Uttar Pradesh with an investment of Rs 24,368 crore since the Samajwadi Party government came to power in 2012, the state assembly was informed today.
Replying to a question by Suresh Kumar Khanna and Satish Mahana of the BJP, the state's Minister for Dairy Development Ram Murti Verma said that this has given direct and indirect employment to over 15 lakh people.
To supplementaries by Mahana on whether the state government will give companies incentives like subsidised power, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Azam Khan alleged that some industries are stealing electricity.
"Unfortunately, industrialists indulge in power theft despite receiving subsidy in coal and other fuels," Khan said.
