The meeting was chaired by YEIDA Chief Executive Officer R K Singh and JETRO India Chief Director General Suzuki Takashi, and focused on positioning the Yamuna Expressway region as a preferred manufacturing destination for Japanese companies, including micro, small and medium enterprises, according to PTI.

During the discussions, Singh outlined the region’s strategic advantages, highlighting multi-modal connectivity anchored by the Noida International Airport, proximity to the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor and access to dedicated freight infrastructure, as per an official statement. He also emphasised the availability of developed industrial land, competitive pricing and the Uttar Pradesh government’s single-window clearance system aimed at improving ease of doing business for Japanese investors.

Sector-specific opportunities across projects such as the Medical Devices Park, Film City, Textile and Apparel Parks and the Electronics Park were also presented. Singh noted that around 1,400 Japanese MSMEs are currently registered with JETRO and are exploring manufacturing options in India, and proposed the creation of a dedicated Japanese MSME park within the YEIDA area to cater to this demand.

JETRO officials, including Suzuki Takashi, expressed interest in the proposal, citing the region’s strong connectivity and infrastructure as key strengths. They added that several Japanese companies already operating in India are looking to expand their manufacturing footprint.

Both sides also discussed the possibility of signing a memorandum of understanding to formalise cooperation and strengthen long-term engagement between the Uttar Pradesh government and Japanese investors. The meeting was attended by YEIDA Additional CEO Shailendra Kumar Bhatia, Export Promotion Council Executive Director Praveen Kumar Mittal, and representatives from EY, among others.
