Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh is rapidly emerging as a preferred destination for commercial offices, industrial units, and Global Capability Centres (GCCs), thanks to its favourable business environment, modern infrastructure, and proactive policies, said Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, an IAS officer of 1988 bath, at a high-profile seminar organized by Invest UP.

The seminar, designed to promote the GCC Policy 2024, witnessed participation from top global investors, multinational corporations, tech industry leaders, and senior policymakers, all looking to tap into the state’s burgeoning economic landscape beyond traditional metro hubs.

Bundelkhand to Get a Noida-Like City

In a major announcement, Chief Secretary Mr Singh revealed plans to develop a new city in Bundelkhand on the lines of Noida, aimed at decentralising growth and uplifting economically underdeveloped areas.

“Uttar Pradesh has proven itself as one of the most investor-friendly states in India. With a curated land bank and policy-driven support, regions like Jhansi in Bundelkhand will soon transform into key industrial centres,” Singh said.

He highlighted that Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are witnessing accelerated infrastructure and industrial development, further strengthening UP’s position as an attractive investment destination.

Focus Areas: Real Estate, Workforce, Infrastructure, and Ease of Doing Business

The seminar centred on four core themes vital for GCC success-

  • Availability of regulated commercial spaces, including coordination with CREDAI and rollout of progressive building by-laws
  • Skilled manpower, supported by a robust ecosystem of academic and technical institutions
  • An improved business climate, driven by transparent governance
  • Strengthened physical and digital infrastructure

Principal Secretary of Infrastructure and Industrial Development, Alok Kumar, emphasized that “A Developed India begins with Developed States,” and reiterated the government’s full support for investors, particularly in GCCs, IT/ITES, and BPM sectors.

Outreach Roadmap: India and Beyond

To boost investor engagement, GCC-focused conferences are being planned in Indian metros including Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad, alongside international roadshows in the US and Europe. These initiatives aim to connect with capital-rich global markets and attract foreign direct investment.

State’s Digital Push & Industry Endorsements

Anurag Yadav, Principal Secretary, IT and Electronics Department, spoke about Uttar Pradesh’s digital infrastructure expansion and forward-looking policies in the IT and electronics sectors, which are attracting companies in both the BPM and software services space.

Rajeev Agrawal, Founder of MAQ Software, backed the vision, noting that UP is quickly rising as a serious tech-oriented business hub, while P Guruprasad, Principal Secretary, Housing Department, emphasised the importance of solid real estate and urban infrastructure in building a thriving GCC ecosystem.
