Lucknow, November 2026 : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "The rule of law has replaced mafia rule in Uttar Pradesh. The zero-tolerance policy towards crime and criminals, coupled with bulldozer action, has transformed the state into a major investment destination. The bulldozer has now become a brand of Uttar Pradesh. If companies manufacture bulldozers and tractors here, their demand will automatically rise across India and abroad."
The Chief Minister was addressing the ground-breaking ceremony of CNH Industrial's new tractor manufacturing plant through video conferencing on Thursday. The plant is being established in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region at an investment of over ₹1,200 crore.
Commending the farmers and public representatives of the Jewar region, the Chief Minister said, "The area, which was once notorious for crime and gun violence, has today emerged as one of India's finest investment destinations and a 'jewel' of the country. With the development of the Noida International Airport and YEIDA, the entire region is evolving into a major industrial, economic and logistics hub."
He added, "Several significant projects, including the HCL-Foxconn semiconductor plant, Medical Device Park, Toy Park, MSME Park and data centres, are taking shape here."
The Chief Minister said, "Before 2017, Uttar Pradesh faced several challenges, including migration, backwardness and lawlessness. Today, under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state has transformed from a land of unrest into a state of celebration. Uttar Pradesh has established its identity in Ease of Doing Business, Fearless Business and Trust of Doing Business. The state has been recognised as a Top Achiever and secured the first position in the country in deregulation."
He added, "Once counted among the 'BIMARU' states, Uttar Pradesh has moved out of the bottom five and is now among India's top three economies. The state is rapidly progressing towards its target of becoming a $1 trillion economy. Through the efforts of the double-engine government, Uttar Pradesh has received investment proposals worth over ₹50 lakh crore in the past nine-and-a-half years. Of these, investments worth ₹15 lakh crore have already been grounded, while proposals worth ₹7.5 lakh crore are set to enter the ground-breaking stage through the upcoming Investors' Summit."
He further informed that the number of factories in the state has increased from 14,000 to 35,000. The number of MSME units has reached one crore, while the number of startups has grown from 120 to 25,000.
The Chief Minister said, "CNH Industrial's upcoming plant, spread across 100 acres, would provide fresh momentum to agricultural mechanisation and modern manufacturing in the state. The investment of ₹1,200 crore will generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities. Uttar Pradesh accounts for 18.5 percent of India's tractor market. This investment will further strengthen the local economy." He assured the CNH management of all possible support and facilities from the state government.
The Chief Minister said, "In collaboration with companies such as Tata, Samsung, Microsoft, IBM, Infosys and HCL, the state is leveraging its vast demographic dividend through skill development to create an industry-ready workforce. In emerging sectors such as IT, semiconductors, cybersecurity, robotics and agri-tech, Uttar Pradesh is opening new avenues for innovation and employment."
Those present at the programme included Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, Minister of State for Agriculture Sardar Baldev Singh Aulakh, MP Dr Mahesh Sharma, Rajya Sabha MP Surendra Singh Nagar, MLAs Dhirendra Singh and Tejpal Singh Nagar, MLC Shrichand Sharma, YEIDA CEO Rakesh Kumar Singh, CNH Chairperson Lady Suzanne Heywood and CEO Gerrit Marx, among other dignitaries.
