Union Minister of Commerce and Industry
Piyush Goyal highlighted that as global markets open up to India through Free Trade
Agreements (FTAs), Uttar Pradesh’s entrepreneurs will have greater opportunities
to access international markets. Addressing the UP International Trade Show in Greater
Noida, Uttar Pradesh, Goyal said that expanding exports, investments and global
market access would contribute to the state’s goal of becoming a $1 trillion economy.
Mr. Goyal said new investments are expected
to flow into India from across the globe and noted that Uttar Pradesh has emerged
as a preferred investment destination, supported by favourable industrial policies
and proactive industrial schemes. He said major corporations and global investors
are arriving across sectors, creating new employment opportunities.
The Minister highlighted the role of modern
technology, international enterprises and the evolving craftsmanship and technical
skills of Uttar Pradesh’s youth in driving the state’s development. He said international
events of this scale provide opportunities for direct access to global markets,
enabling Uttar Pradesh’s diverse products, cuisines and services to reach international
markets.
Mr. Goyal highlighted the international
participation at the UP International Trade Show, including six partner countries,
hundreds of delegates and exhibitors, and buyer-seller meetings. He noted the participation
of international stakeholders and the opportunities created for businesses through
the event.
The Minister highlighted the development
of expressways, modern airports and industrial parks in Uttar Pradesh and noted
the state’s growing presence across sectors including defence, semiconductors, electronics
and other modern high-technology domains. He also referred to the expansion of a
large robotics manufacturing facility in Greater Noida as an example of modern industrial
growth and technological development.
Mr. Goyal said the next frontier for Uttar
Pradesh’s development lies in expanding exports in global markets, attracting international
investments, strengthening tourism and building global recognition for brands from
the state. He said Uttar Pradesh is strengthening its foundation for greater global
trade and progressing towards its development objectives.
The Minister noted that Uttar Pradesh
currently has an annual export volume of around ₹2 lakh crore and has set
a target to increase this to ₹5 lakh crore by 2030.
Mr. Goyal said the expanding global market
access through FTAs, investments, tourism and international recognition of Uttar
Pradesh’s products and brands would create new opportunities for the state’s entrepreneurs.
He called for active participation and cooperation from the state’s trade and industrial
community in taking forward this development journey.
