Uttar Pradesh’s First Footwear Park: 26 industrial plots ready for allocation

Kanpur/Lucknow : Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Government of Uttar Pradesh is committed to transforming the state into a $1 trillion economy. In this pursuit, UPSIDA (Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority) is continuously working towards building a robust and modern industrial infrastructure.

As part of this mission, UPSIDA is developing the state’s first Footwear Park in Ramaipur, Kanpur, which will span across approximately 131.69 acres.

The park aims to provide integrated and modern facilities to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Of the 75 industrial plots proposed in the first phase, 26 plots are now available for allotment through the Nivesh Mitra Portal at a rate of ₹4,600 per square meter.

Allotment Process:

Investors are required to pay 5% of the land cost upfront at the time of application submission. Following this, an additional 20% of the cost must be paid within 60 days from the date of issuance of the allotment letter. The remaining 75% can be paid in equal installments over a period of three years, with an applicable annual interest rate of 10%. Investors who make the full payment within 60 days are eligible for an additional 2% rebate on the land cost. Furthermore, a special rebate of 10% is offered to anchor units investing in the park.

Key Features of the Project:

The total cost of the project is estimated at approximately ₹80 crore. The land use plan includes 83 acres allocated for developing 75 industrial plots, along with 5.46 acres proposed for two warehouse plots. The infrastructure development features a 5-kilometer-long dual carriageway comprising both rigid and flexible pavement types. A solid waste management facility with a capacity of 5 tons per day is also planned, with an estimated cost of ₹2 crore. The park’s water supply needs, projected at around 10 million liters per day (MLD), will be met through underground sources. Additionally, a 10-kilometer-long RCC-based stormwater drainage network is being constructed. For power supply, a 220 kV substation located approximately 10 kilometers from the site will cater to the park’s total load requirement of 40 megawatts.

“Plug & Play” Industrial Model:

UPSIDA is promoting a “Plug & Play” industrial model to facilitate investor ease. Under this initiative, plots with pre-installed infrastructure including power, water, and roads are being offered, enabling investors to begin production faster while saving on time and cost. This model is especially beneficial for MSMEs.

Statement from UPSIDA CEO Mr. Mayur Maheshwari, CEO, UPSIDA, stated: “Under the leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, UPSIDA is committed to providing world-class infrastructure and a conducive industrial environment to investors. The proposed Footwear Park in Kanpur will not only boost regional industrial development but also generate thousands of employment opportunities.”
