To attract investment and boost investors’ confidence in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government is mulling posting a Superintendent of Police (SP) rank officer in select industrial clusters of the state.
At the same time, the draft UP Industrial Policy is likely to allow private industrial parks and industrial corridors to flank all major expressways and highways. The single window system, which has been in the existence in the state for several years now on papers than practically, would be energised and put in execution mode.
Poor law and order coupled with lacking basic infrastructure of roads, power and a non-functional single window clearance system in UP have long been cited as the main impediments towards rapid industrialisation in the state, which still remains largely agrarian.
In its maiden cabinet meeting on April 5, the Yogi dispensation had among other major decisions had constituted a Group of Ministers (GoM) to draft the New UP Industrial Policy. The GoM is headed by deputy chief minister (CM) and former Lucknow mayor Dinesh Sharma.
The GoM is mandated to visit comparatively progressive industrial states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to study their relevant policies and prepare a similar document for UP to spur industrialisation and investment. The new policy would further tackle unemployment and arrest the migration of youth to other states for jobs.
