The chief minister suggested the company produce heavy machinery in the state after it announced a new tractor plant.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday invited CNH Industrial to manufacture bulldozers in the state, noting that the machinery has become a brand for Uttar Pradesh. Speaking virtually at the groundbreaking ceremony for a new tractor manufacturing plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area, Adityanath suggested that local production would meet demand both domestically and internationally.
According to reports from The Times of India, Moneycontrol, and Hindustan Times, the CNH Industrial plant is being established in Sector 8D of the YEIDA area at a cost of over Rs 1,200 crore. The chief minister stated that since the company is already producing tractors in the state, it could also manufacture bulldozers there.
Adityanath said the state has transitioned from a period of lawlessness and mafia control to a system governed by legal principles. He attributed this change to a zero-tolerance approach toward crime and the modernisation of the police force. He added that a stable security environment has helped the state become a destination for investors seeking ease of doing business.
The chief minister noted that Uttar Pradesh, which previously faced issues of backwardness, has joined the top three economies in the country. He stated that the state is working towards becoming a 1-trillion-dollar economy and has received investment proposals exceeding Rs 50 lakh crore over the last nine and a half years.
The new 100-acre plant is expected to support farm mechanisation and modern manufacturing. Adityanath mentioned that the region, including the area around the Noida International Airport, is emerging as a major industrial and logistics hub.
