Uttar Pradesh is scripting a transformative growth story in India’s industrial landscape, powered by an unprecedented surge in investments and an unwavering commitment to business reforms.
Through its mega Ground Breaking Ceremonies (GBC), UP has catalysed infrastructure development, job creation, and investor confidence at a scale never before seen.
With four successful editions under its belt since 2018, attracting over ₹12 trillion in investment proposals, the Yogi Adityanath government is now gearing up for GBC 5.0 — a milestone event expected to push total grounded investments beyond ₹5 trillion.
With UP aspiring to become a $one trillion state economy by 2030, the GBC have played a vital role in positioning the state as a preferred investment destination in South Asia.
From 81 projects worth ₹61,792 crore in GBC 1.0; 290 projects worth ₹67,202 crore in GBC 2.0; ₹80,224 crore worth projects from 1,406 projects in GBC 3.0 to a staggering 14,701 projects worth more than ₹10 trillion in GBC 4.0, the scale and speed of implementation reflect the state’s unwavering commitment to ease of doing business and investor confidence.
The success of the GBC series reflects UP’s proactive governance, sectoral diversification, and commitment to ease of doing business.
From electronics and IT to defense, renewable energy, and food processing, the GBCs have laid the foundation for a resilient and inclusive economic ecosystem.
