Leading bottlers from Adani Group and Coca-Cola acquire land to set up units

PepsiCo bottling plant begins operations in Gorakhpur; Reliance and Shree Cements eye industrial land

In the current financial year, GIDA has allocated a record 182 acres of land for 54 new units

Gorakhpur, Aug 2025 : Once overlooked by investors, Gorakhpur has transformed into a major industrial hub under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership. Incentive-driven policies, ease of doing business, and improved connectivity have encouraged reputed national and multinational companies to invest in the city.

In the current financial year alone, the Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA) has allocated a record 182 acres of land for 54 new units, paving the way for Rs 5,800 crore in capital investment and creating 8,500 jobs. Over the last five years, GIDA has received proposals worth Rs 9,445 crore, generating nearly 23,000 employment opportunities.

Global and national brands including PepsiCo, Keyan Distillery, Gyan Dairy, Technoplast, Central Warehousing Corporation, Kapila Agro Industry, and APL Apollo Tubes have already made their presence felt. Recently, Adani Group’s Ambuja Cement and Coca-Cola bottler Amrit Bottlers acquired land for new units. Meanwhile, Reliance Consumer Products Limited and Shree Cements have expressed interest, with their representatives visiting GIDA sites to explore investment options.

To meet growing demand, GIDA has not only strengthened its land bank but also initiated the development of Dhuriapar Industrial Township in southern Gorakhpur as a new industrial hub, where two major projects have already been allotted land.

“Under the Chief Minister’s guidance, Gorakhpur has built a strong ecosystem for investment. Land is being provided as per investor preference, and industrial interest is rising steadily,” said Anuj Malik, CEO of GIDA.

With world-class road, rail, and air connectivity now in place, Gorakhpur—once hesitant to attract even local investors—is rapidly establishing itself on India’s industrial map.
