Performance under review, Udyami Mitras to be held accountable
Udyami Mitras in Uttar Pradesh will now be held accountable for the tasks assigned to them, with their performance under review. Alongside them, the work of deputy commissioners of the District Industries Promotion and Entrepreneurship Development Centres (DICs) is also being assessed.
Tasked with assisting investors in bringing their investment to the production stage by acting as a bridge between the district administration and entrepreneurs, the state government has appointed 115 Udyami Mitras in all 75 districts and key industrial development authorities.
Three Udyami Mitras are reporting at the Invest UP's office in the state capital for review of their work everyday. This exercise which began on June 2 will continue till July 8.
Udyami Mitras have to connect investors with district magistrates, industrial authorities and officials concerned to ensure that the MOUs and investment proposals get rolling.
'Udyami Mitras have to ensure investors do not have to run from pillar to post to get various clearances for their projects. They have to assist investors in acquiring land, power connection, water supply and all other necessary approvals and ensure timely execution of projects,' Invest UP officials said.
The Invest UP has invited deputy commissioners of DICs and Udyami Mitras from across the state to present district-wise progress reports at its office in the state capital. Representatives from three districts are making presentations in a standardised format on a daily basis.
'These presentations cover key areas, including the current status of land inventories and sick industrial units, progress made in investment facilitation and project execution, challenges faced on digital platforms such as Nivesh Mitra, and data-driven insights along with proposed action plans for further improvement,' according to Invest UP officials.
Each Udyami Mitra and DIC will support 180 units by assessing their current status and identifying key areas for assistance, including land availability and necessary NOCs, to facilitate commercial production.
Before this exercise began on June 2, teams from Invest UP, including general managers and assistant general managers, along with respective Udyami Mitras, conducted visits to 14 districts across four divisions from May 26 to 30.
District teams have also been directed to get available land parcels listed and mapped, while also identifying and repurposing sick unit land for industrial use. To ensure continuous progress, follow-up review meetings will be held every three months.
'Udyami Mitras have been made accountable for the task assigned to them. Their work is being reviewed. They have been assigned projects (investment proposals/MOUs) and will have to ensure their commercial rollout,' state industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi', said. 'This step has been taken to fix accountability for every Udyami Mitra and to ensure that each project reaches production stage,' the minister added.
With this initiative, Invest UP continues to drive district-level project execution, seamless investor engagement, and timely onboarding of projects for the upcoming Ground-Breaking Ceremony (GBC), officials said.

Four companies to get 190 crore incentives
Lucknow: In a move to boost investor confidence, the Uttar Pradesh govt has approved the disbursal of around Rs 190 crore as financial incentives to four major companies, including global electronics giant Samsung India Electronics Private Limited, under UP Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy. The decision was formally approved by state industrial development minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi', following a proposal submitted by the department of industrial development. "The incentives are aimed at supporting large-scale investments, encouraging industrial expansion, and generating employment across the state," he said. Sharing details, he said, "Samsung India Electronics Private Limited, Noida, will receive the largest share, Rs 124.5 crore, as its Noida facility plays a critical role in Samsung's global supply chain, manufacturing over 25% of the company's smartphones sold worldwide. This solidifies Noida's status as India's mobile manufacturing hub." "Likewise, Varun Beverages Limited, which operates a major PepsiCo bottling plant in Sandila, Hardoi, has been allotted Rs 42 crore to support beverage production and distribution across northern India. LG Electronics India Pvt Ltd will receive Rs 20.49 crore to aid expansion and job creation within UP's growing electronics manufacturing Paswara Papers Ltd, Meerut, has been allocated Rs 2.57 crore to facilitate green technology upgrades and enhance paper manufacturing capacity," he said. "Before 2017, industries were fleeing UP. Now, under CM Yogi's leadership, the state has become a preferred destination for global and domestic investors, thanks to policy stability, transparent governance, and investor-friendly incentives," Nandi added.

GNIDA switches to e-office to process files faster
Noida: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has gone paperless with the rollout of the e-office system, to enhance digital governance and faster public service delivery. The platform, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), allows officials to process, approve, and track files online from anywhere within Uttar Pradesh. GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar has directed all departments to operate exclusively through the e-office framework. The transition aligns with state government directives mandating e-office adoption across departments. It is expected to reduce bureaucratic delays and enhance investor confidence, especially as it integrates seamlessly with the Nivesh Mitra portal, UP's single-window clearance system for business approvals. All online applications, including those via Nivesh Mitra, will now be handled digitally. This will streamline processes for licences, NOCs, and other approvals. Over 55,000 physical files have been scanned and digitised to create a searchable repository. To facilitate the shift, around 160 GNIDA employees have been equipped with email IDs and digital signatures. Additional CEO Prerna Singh said the e-office system ensures files are processed within a set timeframe. "It offers real-time status tracking, which boosts transparency, accountability, and convenience for citizens," she said. The initiative is being implemented statewide under the guidance of the Uttar Pradesh Electronics Corporation Limited (UPECL).
