22 Apr 2025 CW Team

The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), the nodal agency overseeing the state’s defence corridor, has requested Rs 4.86 bn from the industries department for the development of integrated manufacturing and logistics clusters across three districts.

The proposal covers 344 hectares of land earmarked for industrial use—133 hectares in Unnao, 123 hectares in Agra, and 88 hectares in Aligarh. The funds will be used to provide essential infrastructure such as roads, water and power supply, sewerage systems, street lighting, open spaces, and common facilities.

A senior UPEIDA official stated that a 17.5-km boundary wall will be constructed to secure the sites. Land acquisition in Barauli Ahir block of Agra has already been completed, and allotments to investors have begun. Developed plots are expected to be delivered within two years.

So far, 33 plots have been made available across the three districts, with further expansion planned to accommodate additional investor interest. The authority has fixed land rates at Rs 2,685 per sq m in Agra, ?3,927 in Aligarh, and ?5,010 in Unnao—the latter commanding a premium due to its proximity to Lucknow and excellent connectivity via national highways, railway lines, and the upcoming Lucknow–Unnao–Kanpur expressway.
