SINGAPORE: On the first day of his Singapore visit, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath kicked off high-stakes meetings with global investors, aiming to cement the state’s position as India’s top investment destination. The discussions focused on unlocking massive opportunities in infrastructure, logistics, healthcare, and fintech-driven urban development.
CM Yogi’s opening engagement was with Tio Chee Heen, Chairman of Temasek Holdings, Singapore’s premier investment firm, and his team. The talks delved into Temasek’s expansive global portfolio and potential infusions into Uttar Pradesh’s booming sectors. Yogi extended a warm invitation for investments in critical areas like data centers, skill development, and warehousing.
Key highlights included updates on Manipal Hospitals’ Rs 500 crore commitment in Ghaziabad for advanced healthcare facilities and Ascendas’ parallel Rs 500 crore push for state-of-the-art logistics and warehousing infrastructure. These moves are set to supercharge UP’s health and industrial ecosystems, creating thousands of jobs and fostering long-term growth.
Both sides expressed strong interest in collaborative ventures in emerging fields such as data centers and workforce skilling, aligning perfectly with UP’s vision for future-ready infrastructure. Yogi highlighted the state’s robust law-and-order framework, world-class expressway networks, defense corridors, data center policies, electronics manufacturing hubs, and burgeoning logistics parks.
‘Uttar Pradesh is among India’s fastest-growing economies,’ Yogi emphasized, underscoring the government’s commitment to Ease of Doing Business through transparent, swift, and investor-friendly policies. He assured long-term partnerships that would drive employment generation and technological advancement across the state.
This strategic outreach is poised to open floodgates for foreign direct investment, propelling UP towards its trillion-dollar economy ambition. Meanwhile, Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya is spearheading a parallel investment drive in Europe, amplifying the state’s global outreach.
