Singapore, which is among the top global investment hotspots, is keen to invest in Uttar Pradesh.
Taking the agenda forward, Simon Wong, High Commissioner of Singapore to India, recently met ‘Invest UP’ officials and held detailed discussions with UP Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner (IIDC) Deepak Kumar to explore avenues of collaboration.
Wong said Singapore-based companies are keenly looking at UP, encouraged by the state’s remarkable growth in infrastructure development, industrial progress, Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) and connectivity.
He highlighted the upcoming Noida International Airport has emerged as a preferred destination for Singaporean investors.
Singaporean companies are exploring opportunities in sectors such as data centers, aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities, solid waste management, food processing, and export-oriented lithium-ion battery manufacturing units near Jewar.
Meanwhile, Kumar welcomed Singapore’s interest and assured Wong of all possible assistance of the Yogi Adityanath government to encourage and ease investments from Singapore into UP.
He also sought support from Singapore in creating pathways for UP’s skilled professionals and talent pool to access employment opportunities in Singapore.
