UP Plans Rs 10,000 Bn Expressway Logistics Clusters

The Uttar Pradesh Government intends to develop manufacturing and logistics clusters covering 600 hectares beside its expressways, the country’s longest such network. Memorandums of understanding worth Rs 10,000 billion were signed at the UP Global Investors’ Summit in Lucknow earlier this year.

Six districts—Barabanki, Ghazipur, Jaunpur, Gorakhpur, Banda and Jalaun—have earmarked 100 hectares each for the first phase. The clusters will rise near the Purvanchal and Bundelkhand expressways and the Gorakhpur Link Expressway, providing seamless road access and local employment.

These projects form part of the Rs 35,000 billion in investment pledges secured from more than 19,000 investors. Purvanchal and Bundelkhand alone account for Rs 9,540 billion and Rs 4,270 billion, respectively—about 40 per cent of the total.

With investors demanding large tracts for factories, warehousing and logistics, the state is rapidly expanding its land bank. An initial 600 hectares will be acquired within ten kilometres of the expressways, with further land to follow as required. Generous incentives already target the lagging Purvanchal and Bundelkhand regions, underpinning efforts to spur socio economic development.

The logistics push aligns with Uttar Pradesh’s goal of becoming a USD 1 trillion economy within five years. Ten priority sectors—including infrastructure, industry, urban and rural development, health, education, tourism and revenue—have been identified to drive this ambition.
