In a push to attract large private investment, Uttar Pradesh will spend ₹6,191 crore in FY26 to scale up industrial infrastructure in major industrial enclaves across the state. The allocation announced by the UP State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) marks a nearly 15-fold jump from ₹415 crore in FY24.
 
According to UPSIDA chief executive officer (CEO) Mayur Maheshwari, the budget will fund the development of sustainable industrial infra including roads, water and sewerage systems, and uninterrupted power supply. 
 
“The UPSIDA is playing a pivotal role in steering UP toward its ambitious goal of becoming a $1 trillion economy,” he said, adding that the agency is driving the state’s industrial transformation by expanding infrastructure and attracting investment.
 
The results are visible. Industrial land allotment in the UPSIDA enclaves has surged from 114 acres in 2017-18 to 526 acres in 2024-25. In 2025, the UPSIDA has already allotted 88 acres through 261 plots. Under the UP Warehousing & Logistics Policy, the UPSIDA has approved 38 projects spanning 524 acres with a proposed investment of ₹2,556 crore across its industrial hubs. In the FY26, the authority has allotted land to more than 10 mega and super mega industrial units, attracting a total investment of ₹2,348 crore.
