Investments – Uttar Pradesh has secured investment proposals worth Rs 19,877 crore from Singapore-based firms for industrial and digital infrastructure projects, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced on Monday. The commitments came on the first day of his four-day official visit to Singapore and Japan, aimed at attracting global capital and strengthening economic ties.
Major Investment Commitments Announced
According to a statement issued by the state government, the proposed investments are expected to generate more than 20,000 employment opportunities across multiple sectors. Officials described the agreements as a significant boost to the state’s push for industrial expansion and technology-driven infrastructure.
The chief minister began his overseas tour on February 23 and will spend two days each in Singapore and Japan. The visit focuses on promoting Uttar Pradesh as an emerging destination for global manufacturing, digital infrastructure, renewable energy, and advanced technology partnerships.
Focus on Digital Infrastructure and Data Centres
Among the key agreements signed in Singapore was a Rs 6,650 crore proposal by Universal Success Group. The company plans to invest in group housing, logistics parks, and data centre projects in Uttar Pradesh.
In another major development, Golden State Capital announced an Rs 8,000 crore investment to establish a 100-megawatt data centre in the state. The project is expected to play a central role in strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s position as a growing data centre hub in India, particularly as demand for digital storage and cloud infrastructure rises.
Officials noted that expanding data centre capacity is critical to supporting the state’s digital transformation goals and enhancing its technology ecosystem.
Push for Renewable Energy and Green Projects
Sustainability and clean energy also featured prominently in the discussions. The Private Infrastructure Development Group signed an agreement to invest Rs 2,500 crore in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and agri-solar (Agri-PV) initiatives.
Additionally, AVPN Limited committed Rs 2,727 crore toward renewable energy and Agri-PV projects. These investments are aligned with Uttar Pradesh’s broader strategy to expand its green energy footprint and promote environmentally responsible growth.
State officials said such projects would not only support energy security but also create rural employment opportunities through integrated agricultural and solar power models.
Strengthening Skill Development Framework
Beyond capital investment, the visit also emphasized workforce development. A cooperation agreement was signed with ITE Education Services to enhance Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Uttar Pradesh.
Under the arrangement, ITE Education Services will provide consultancy and technical support in academic planning, infrastructure modernization, leadership development, certification standards, and quality assurance systems. The objective is to align the state’s skill ecosystem with internationally recognized benchmarks and improve employability among youth.
The state government indicated that improving vocational training remains central to its long-term industrial strategy, particularly as new sectors such as renewable energy and data infrastructure expand.
Outreach to Global Industry Leaders
During his tour, Adityanath is scheduled to meet representatives of 33 global companies—25 in Singapore and eight in Japan. The discussions are expected to cover industrial collaboration, technology transfer, and long-term partnerships.
Meetings have been lined up with major corporations including Google, Toshiba, and Suzuki Motor Corporation, among others. Officials said these interactions will explore opportunities in data infrastructure, renewable energy, agribusiness, and automobile manufacturing.
Government-to-business meetings and investor roundtables form a key component of the visit. According to the official statement, the chief minister will highlight Uttar Pradesh’s industrial policy framework, availability of land banks, expanding expressway network, logistics capabilities, and ongoing skill development initiatives.
After concluding his engagements in Singapore, Adityanath will travel to Japan on February 25 and 26 to continue investment discussions.
The state government maintains that the visit underscores Uttar Pradesh’s ambition to emerge as a leading manufacturing and technology hub, supported by transparent policies, streamlined approvals, and modern infrastructure.
