01 Sep 2025 CW Team

Gorakhpur, once an overlooked location for industrial activity, is fast becoming a prominent industrial hub in northern India, backed by upgraded infrastructure, favourable policy incentives, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s focus on ease of doing business. The Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA) has allotted 182 acres this financial year to 54 industrial units, unlocking proposed investments worth Rs 58 billion and generating employment for around 8,500 individuals.

Over the last five years, GIDA has attracted projects worth Rs 94.45 billion, creating nearly 23,000 jobs. Established firms like PepsiCo, Gyan Dairy, Technoplast, APL Apollo Tubes, and the Central Warehousing Corporation have already set up operations in the region. Recently, Ambuja Cement of the Adani Group and Coca-Cola bottler Amrit Bottlers acquired land, while Reliance Consumer Products and Shree Cements are currently exploring options.

Among the most significant investment commitments this year are Rs 26.67 billion from Shreyash Distilleries, Rs 14 billion from Ambuja Cement, and Rs 8 billion from Amrit Bottlers. Keyan Distilleries and Vision Parental Pharma plan to invest Rs 7 billion. Proposed projects include Rs 10 billion from Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (CPL), Rs 5 billion each from Shree Cements and Lifecare Hospitals, along with smaller ventures from ESIC and DPS.

To meet growing demand, GIDA is also developing a new industrial township at Dhuriapar, where land has already been allotted for two projects. “Land is being provided based on investor preferences, and interest is rising steadily,” noted GIDA CEO Anuj Malik. Enhanced connectivity via air, rail, and road is further cementing Gorakhpur’s position as a rising industrial destination in India.
