Greater Noida, September 11 (HS). On the occasion of the inauguration of Semicon India 2024, Chief Minister Yogi and Union IT and Electronics Minister Ashwani Vaishnav addressed a joint press conference. During this, Chief Minister Yogi, referring to the changed perception of Uttar Pradesh, said that before 2017, no one wanted to invest in Uttar Pradesh, whereas today, due to the changed perception of Uttar Pradesh, there are lots of investments here. Today there is rule of law in Uttar Pradesh. There are investment-friendly policies. There is a business-friendly environment. Due to this, today everyone wants to come to Uttar Pradesh for investment.
Big change came from 2017 to 2024
Explaining the difference between Uttar Pradesh before 2017 and after 2017, Yogi said that when we were planning the Investors Summit in 2017, we were told that only an investment of up to Rs 20 thousand crore would be possible. However, last year we received an investment proposal of Rs 40 lakh crore through the Global Investors Summit. Out of this, till February this year, we have succeeded in bringing investment proposals worth up to Rs 10 lakh crore to the ground. This shows the changed work culture of Uttar Pradesh.
Semiconductor policy will make the path easier for investors
Chief Minister Yogi said that everyone has worked hard in the last seven years to make Uttar Pradesh an investment-friendly state. Today we solve every problem of investors within a fixed time. The process of investment has been made the easiest through the online portal Nivesh Mitra. Earlier also there was talk of single window system but we implemented it seriously. Today no investor has to worry about his incentives. All the work is done online. The Chief Minister said that we have implemented the Semi Conductor Policy 2024 in UP. Through this we are making the path of investors easier.
