More than 50 Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) have expressed
their keenness to set up industries in Uttar Pradesh, of which 32 are
already in touch with the state government to invest about Rs 1,045
crore in Noida-Greater Noida, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur and Prayagraj.
These
NRIs have shown interest in investing in 15 sectors, including, among
others, agriculture, health, IT, manufacturing and solar energy.
According
to the government spokesman, Uttar Pradesh has become a favourite state
for both NRIs as well as foreign investors, following the efforts of
the Yogi Adityanath government.
The interest among NRI investors
has increased in the last couple of years, especially after the launch
of the website by the Chief Minister last year. The NRI section of the
website has been screened by over 500 Non-Resident Indians for investing
in Uttar Pradesh while NRI cards have been issued to 540 of them.
More
than 32 NRIs, staying in 18 countries including America, UAE, Oman,
Singapore, Australia, Germany, Ghana, New Zealand, Russia, England, etc.
have sent their investment proposals to the government.
According
to officials, four US-based Indians as well as eight residing in the
UAE and two Indians each living in Oman, Singapore and England have sent
their proposals to the Government to invest in the state.
As
many as 13 of these NRI investors already have businesses in the
countries of their residences and now they want to expand it to Uttar
Pradesh as well.
Besides, 19 Indians working in responsible
positions in big companies abroad are now moving to the state to set up
their enterprises.
The state government, on its part, is making
concrete efforts to expedite provision of land to these prospective
investors. They are also in constant touch with NRIs to help them
establish their firms.
Once operational, these ventures will provide employment to thousands of people of the state.
Official
sources said that seven NRIs will be setting up their enterprises in
the field of agriculture, four each in the health and the manufacturing
sectors, three each in the IT and energy and solar energy sectors as
well as two each in the education and food processing sectors.
NRIs from the UAE have proposed to build a grand hospital in UP at the estimated cost of Rs 400 crore.
Similarly, Dr S. Singh, a Russia-based NRI, will invest Rs 300 crore in a renewable energy project.
Non-Resident
Indians residing in Kuwait have proposed to invest Rs 100 crore in the
automotive sector while NRIs residing in Ghana and New Zealand have made
investment proposals worth Rs 150 crore in the agriculture sector.
The
Chief Minister has directed the officials to contact NRIs who are
willing to set up their ventures in Uttar Pradesh and also expedite
procedures to help their projects get off the ground as soon as
possible.
