Lucknow : In a bid to attract significant investments and propel industrial growth, the Yogi government has initiated plans to equip the Bulk Drug Pharma Park in Lalitpur with world-class common infrastructure facilities (CIF). Led by CM Yogi Adityanath’s vision, the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) has commenced preparations for the park’s development.

In this sequence, UPSIDA has issued a Global Expression of Interest (EOI) for the development of the park. This strategic move aims to establish the park as a hub for manufacturing crucial components like ‘Key Starting Materials’ (KSM) and ‘Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients’ (API), pivotal for the pharmaceutical sector’s advancement.

*Development will be based on PPP mode in 1120 acres of area*

CM Yogi’s vision for this project is to develop the area to meet the country’s pharma needs. The goal is to produce high-quality, affordable medicines and increase India’s self-reliance in bulk drug production. To achieve this, the development of the Bulk Drug Park in Lalitpur is being promoted. 

Notably, the park will be developed over an area of 1120 acres under the PPP model. An Expression of Interest (EOI) has been issued to attract global leaders in the pharma sector for the development of the Lalitpur Bulk Drug Park.

*Scope for large scale industrial townships*

According to the action plan prepared for the park’s development, the path will be paved for the development of large scale industrial townships, sectoral specific industrial parks and other industrial areas. As per the EOI issued by UPSIDA, a developer agency will be determined to complete all these development works. 

It is worth mentioning that the Lalitpur Bulk Drug Pharma Park is being connected to world-class basic infrastructure and excellent connectivity through road and rail networks, which will ensure convenient logistics and smooth transportation.
