The Uttar Pradesh government is aggressively pushing for private sector investments worth Rs 70,000 crore in electronics manufacturing and data centres to reinforce its ‘Make in UP’ and ‘Brand UP’ vision. Under the UP Electronics Manufacturing Policy (UPEMP), the state aims to attract Rs 40,000 crore in investments and generate four lakh job opportunities.
The UP Data Centre Policy 2021 is expected to bring in Rs 30,000 crore, with plans for eight private data centre parks boasting a 900 MW capacity. A senior state official highlighted that electronics manufacturing contributed 22 percent to the state’s exports in 2023. The policy has already attracted Rs 6,500 crore from companies such as Haier, Vivo, Samsung, LG, Dixon, Addverb, Oppo, and Havells, benefiting from subsidies on capital, land, and electricity.
Major data centre projects worth Rs 20,000 crore have been announced by industry giants, including the Hiranandani Group, Adani Group, NTT Japan, and Web Werks. Additionally, UP has secured over Rs 32,000 crore in semiconductor investments near the Jewar International Airport. Tarq Semiconductors will invest Rs 28,440 crore, while Vama Sundari Investments (Delhi) will invest Rs 3,706 crore. These efforts align with India’s growing digital and manufacturing ambitions.
