At the UP Global Investors Summit 2023, the government had received public and private sector investment proposals totalling Rs. 35 trillion across different sectors. The state is gearing up to launch projects worth almost Rs. 10 trillion in the next few months to kickstart the process of faster economic development and make UP India’s first $trillion economy.
Adityanath recently unveiled the Matrubhumi scheme, which allows people from the state settled abroad to contribute towards infrastructure development. The government would provide land as well as 40 per cent of the project cost, while the NRIs would incur the remaining cost. At the launch of this scheme, the CM interacted with some NRIs settled in the US and willing to invest in UP’s social sector.
