Canadian Hindu Chamber Eyes Investments In Uttar Pradesh

A delegation from the Canadian Hindu Chambers of Commerce met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday and expressed interest in investing in the state’s MSME, religious tourism and hospitality sectors.

Welcoming the 24-member delegation led by founder president Naresh Kumar Chawda, the chief minister assured full support from the state government. He said Uttar Pradesh offers strong potential for investment, citing improved security, stable governance and a business-friendly environment aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for trade, technology and tourism.

Adityanath highlighted initiatives such as the One District-One Product scheme, which has strengthened traditional enterprises and supported nearly 9.6 million MSME units, benefiting around 25 million families. He said locally made ODOP products have replaced imported goods in markets and are now being promoted as branded official gifts.

The chief minister said Uttar Pradesh ranks among India’s leading states in economic contribution and has attracted investment proposals worth about Rs 40 trillion at the Global Investors Summit, with projects worth Rs 15 trillion already under implementation. He also pointed to rapid infrastructure development, expanding airport connectivity and the growth of sectors such as data centres, logistics and advanced technologies.

Chawda said the ‘Invest India, Invest Canada’ initiative will be organised on three occasions in Canada in 2026, with two events focused specifically on Uttar Pradesh. He said the Chambers plans to work closely with the state in MSMEs, religious tourism and hospitality, while also exploring opportunities in healthcare and senior citizen facilities.
