Despite its vast market and population, UP has been lagging behind in industrialisation, however, it has become one of the fastest growing investment destinations in India. The Yogi Adityanath government has garnered more than Rs. Ten successive investor summits with an investment intent of 40 lakh crores. In the past few years, more than 3,500 industrialists have grabbed industrial land and set up factories in UPSIDA areas in 51 districts, generating more than one lakh jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Uttar Pradesh ranks as the second largest economy among all the states in India with both manufacturing and industrial sectors growing at a fast pace, along with food processing, logistics and defence.

Market size is the first one and UP is the largest domestic food, FMCG, construction materials and consumer electronics market in India with a population of 240 million. Secondly, infrastructure investment: during the last 10 years, the state has constructed more than 1,000 km of expressways, significantly decreasing logistics costs. Thirdly, the UP-Defence Corridor has become a hub for Hindustan Aeronautics, Tata Advanced Systems, Brahmos Aerospace and more than 100 defence MSMEs that have come to Lucknow and Kanpur. UP is an active industrial licenser and UP&#8217;s industry-wise activity is closely being monitored by <a href=\"https:\/\/dpiit.gov.in\/\">DPIIT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, UP accounts for 60% of the production of perfume in India from the global hub of natural attar making named Kannauj. The exported products from leather and footwear sector in Agra market worldwide. Varanasi is a very important hub for silk and handloom. The cluster of brass and metalware of Moradabad is one of the biggest in the world. In Meerut sports goods are manufactured for export.

Kannauj Perfume Industry Leaders<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kannauj has 60% share in the production of natural perfume (attar) in India and is the world&#8217;s hub for steam-distilled floral perfumes like rose attar and kewda. In Kannauj, industrialists established a global-renowned perfume industry from the ancient craft, which sold to Middle Eastern markets of luxury perfumes, European perfume houses and international brands of aromatherapy. The government&#8217;s plans for the Perfume Park in Kannauj are to make this a traditional business into an industrial sector, with ample prospects for agri-processing, distillation technology, and packaging of perfumes.(Industrialists of Uttar Pradesh)<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Varanasi_Silk_and_Handloom_Industry\"><\/span><strong>9. Varanasi Silk and Handloom Industry<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Banarasi saris are luxury textile products recognized all over the world and are produced by the silk weaving industry in Varanasi. The industrial entrepreneurs in Varanasi developed export businesses by associating the GI (Geographical Indication) branding with quality standardisation and direct international retail relations. The handloom cluster contributes more than 1.2 lakh weavers and is contributing positively to foreign exchange through exports to the South Asian markets of handloom weavers, UAE luxury stores and fashion collections that are looking for the real authentic Indian handloom textiles.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_IT_and_Data_Centre_Leaders_%E2%80%93_Lucknow_and_Noida\"><\/span><strong>10.

Industrial giants such as HCL Technologies, Infosys, etc. that laid down large campuses in Noida, enjoyed lower land rates than in NCR, access to talent pool available in Delhi and support from the State Government. The UP government is actively promoting investments in GCC in its growing Smart City infrastructure, while Lucknow is turning into an IT hub of Tier-2 status.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Import%E2%80%93Export_Opportunity_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Import\u2013Export Opportunity Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Uttar Pradesh export basket includes leather and footwear, handloom textiles, brassware, sports goods, perfumes, pharmaceutical products and agri-processed goods. The ODOP initiative has led to the development of specific export promotion to each district&#8217;s traditional product. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cii.in\/\">Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)<\/a> collaborates with UP&#8217;s export promotion system to link MSME manufacturers to overseas buyers. The upcoming UP Expressways and Jewar Airport \u2014 India&#8217;s largest greenfield international airport will take a quantum leap in enhancing the export logistics for manufacturers from UP.(Industrialists of Uttar Pradesh<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_MSME_Success_Stories_Lessons_from_UPs_Industrial_Clusters\"><\/span><strong>Indian MSME Success Stories: Lessons from UP&#8217;s Industrial Clusters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moradabad_Brassware_Craft_Cluster_to_Export_Industry\"><\/span><strong>Moradabad Brassware: Craft Cluster to Export Industry<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The development of Moradabad is a benchmark in the cluster level\u2019s industrial growth. Rather than being micro-scale in isolation, individual small manufacturers, with shared infrastructure, quality development and export facilitation by government, established a globally competitive export industry. The lesson for MSMEs is that it is as important to join and establish cluster institutions as it is to develop individual enterprises.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Agra_Leather_Quality_Investment_Creates_Premium_Market_Access\"><\/span><strong>Agra Leather: Quality Investment Creates Premium Market Access<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Those leather entrepreneurs in Agra who had a foresight in getting their manufacturers certified as ISO, in complying with the EU requirements for REACH and establishing direct business relationship management have always been able to enjoy better margins than the ones who could only rely on price competition. Any MSME sector of manufacturing can open market segments by investing in regulatory certification that cannot be opened by price-only competitors. Quality investment is the most obvious route to premiums in the export markets for UP entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Discover_business_ideas_that_actually_make_money\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/startup-selector\">Discover business ideas that actually make money<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_NPCS_Helps_Entrepreneurs_Enter_Uttar_Pradeshs_Industrial_Sectors\"><\/span><strong>How NPCS Helps Entrepreneurs Enter Uttar Pradesh&#8217;s Industrial Sectors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Niir Project Consultancy Services (NPCS) offers professional service for the preparation of detailed techno-economic feasibility report (DPR) along with Market Survey for establishing a new industry or a business.
