Yogi Adityanath invites firms to manufacture bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh
The Chief Minister suggested CNH Industrial manufacture bulldozers in the state, claiming the machinery has become a brand for Uttar Pradesh.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday invited industries to manufacture bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh, stating that the machinery has become a brand for the state. According to The Indian Express, Adityanath made these remarks while virtually addressing the groundbreaking ceremony for a new tractor manufacturing plant by CNH Industrial in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region.
The Chief Minister suggested that since CNH Industrial is setting up a tractor plant in Gautam Buddh Nagar, it could also produce bulldozers there. He claimed that demand for such machinery would rise across India and abroad because of its association with the state.
Adityanath stated that the state has transitioned from mafia-led governance to a system based on legal rules. He attributed this change to a zero-tolerance policy regarding criminals and the use of bulldozer actions. He added that this environment has turned the state into a major destination for investment.
The Chief Minister noted that Uttar Pradesh has received investment proposals exceeding Rs 50 lakh crore over the last nine-and-a-half years. He informed that investments worth Rs 15 lakh crore have been grounded, while proposals worth Rs 7.5 lakh crore are expected to reach the groundbreaking stage through an upcoming summit.
The CNH Industrial plant, which covers 100 acres, involves an investment of over Rs 1,200 crore. Adityanath said the facility would create thousands of direct and indirect jobs and support agricultural mechanisation in a state that holds 18.5 per cent of India’s tractor market.
