3,827 Hectares Acquired for Industrial Corridors Along Expressways

The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has acquired 3,827 hectares of land across twelve districts for industrial corridors along the Ganga, Bundelkhand, Agra-Lucknow, Purvanchal, and Gorakhpur Link Expressways. This accounts for about seventy per cent of the approved land. The government has invested over Rs 55 billion in acquisition, including stamp duty and registration charges.

The project aims to promote warehousing, logistics, electronics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and information technology industries. These corridors are expected to play a crucial role in Uttar Pradesh’s ambition to become a US$ one trillion economy.

Nearly twenty thousand landowners have been compensated. Over one thousand and forty-three hectares were acquired for the Ganga Expressway, covering more than seventy per cent of approved land. Bundelkhand Expressway saw acquisition of over one thousand five hundred hectares, representing eighty per cent of approved land, benefitting districts such as Banda and Jalaun.

Around eight hundred seventy-three hectares were acquired along the Purvanchal Expressway, approximately sixty per cent of approved land. The Gorakhpur Link Expressway and Agra-Lucknow Expressway also saw significant land acquisition, with industrial townships planned at multiple locations.
