Singapore/Lucknow: In a major step towards establishing Uttar Pradesh as a global investment destination, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, during his visit to Singapore, held an important meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of leading sovereign investment institution GIC, Lim Chow Kiat, and his team. The high-level meeting focused on exploring long-term investment opportunities by GIC in Uttar Pradesh.

The Chief Minister invited GIC to explore long-term investment opportunities in Uttar Pradesh and highlighted the state’s policy stability, good governance, strong law and order, a vast consumer population of over 25 crore, and rapidly developing infrastructure as key attractions. He stated that Uttar Pradesh is today the fastest-growing economy among Indian states and that the government is providing investors with a secure, transparent, and investor-friendly environment.

During the meeting, detailed discussions were held on potential collaboration in areas such as the development of logistics and warehousing infrastructure along industrial corridors, renewable energy and energy storage projects, data centers and digital infrastructure, commercial real estate and integrated townships in emerging urban centers, fintech and digital platforms aligned with the MSME ecosystem, and skill development for future-oriented industries.

The Chief Minister said that the Government of Uttar Pradesh is committed to developing the state as a “future-ready” industrial and economic hub. The state is witnessing rapid development of expressway networks, multimodal logistics parks, the Defense Corridor, data center parks, and new industrial cities, which offer stable and profitable opportunities for long-term investors.

In this context, the meeting between the Chief Minister and GIC is being seen as a significant step towards channeling global capital into Uttar Pradesh.
