UPEIDA starts process to get environmental compliance reports every 6 months
The accredited labs will not only monitor environmental parameters, but also prepare reports in the prescribed format and upload them online to ensure transparency and promote sustainable industrial development. The initiative has been implemented for projects under the Defence Industrial Corridor and the Industrial Manufacturing and Logistics Cluster (IMLC).
According to UPEIDA, the process will soon begin at sites that have received environmental clearances. The move will ensure adherence to environmental norms, while also boosting investor confidence in the state's commitment to responsible development.
UPEIDA has received environmental clearance in the districts of Aligarh, Kanpur Nagar, Lucknow, Chitrakoot, and Jhansi, where land acquisition and development work for the Defence Industrial Corridor is currently underway. From now on, environmental parameters in these areas will be regularly monitored. Every six months, the accredited labs will conduct sampling, field inspections, and collect inputs from officials concerned to prepare detailed compliance reports.
The report will contain details of the status of major environmental components such as air, water, noise and soil. The reports will also be submitted online to the authorities responsible for environmental clearance, including the State Level Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) and the Union Ministry of Environment.
Meanwhile, the environmental clearance for Agra and Unnao is in its final stages. Once approved, development work will begin as well in these districts, it is learnt.
The government said the system adopted by UPEIDA is set to become a model for industries being developed under the Industrial Corridor across the state. This step will play a key role in positioning the state as an environmentally responsible industrial hub, while simultaneously boosting employment, investment, and economic activity, it added.

UP International Trade Show in Greater Noida from Sept 25 to 29
The Uttar Pradesh government is set to host the third edition of the UP International Trade Show (UPITS-2025) in Greater Noida from September 25 to 29. Positioning Uttar Pradesh as a rising 'Expressway State' and an emerging manufacturing powerhouse, the event will highlight the state's rapid infrastructural and industrial development—especially key projects such as the UP Defense Industrial Corridor (UPDIC) and Integrated Manufacturing and Logistics Clusters (IMLC), spearheaded by the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA). The government said UPITS-2025 will serve as a platform to promote these ambitious initiatives and attract both domestic and global investors. Designed around the vision of 'Atmanirbhar Uttar Pradesh', the exhibition will feature technologically advanced and aesthetically impressive stalls, highlighting the state's transition into a global hub for infrastructure and manufacturing. Being organised in collaboration with the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Department and India Expo Mart Limited, the event is expected to draw over 50,000 trade representatives, industry leaders, and policymakers from India and abroad. UPEIDA will present a 500 square metre integrated digital pavilion showcasing the state's landmark achievements in expressway development, defence manufacturing, and logistics infrastructure. The expressways connecting the six nodes of the UP Defence Corridor—Lucknow, Kanpur, Jhansi, Agra, Aligarh, and Chitrakoot—are helping connectivity, the government said. The UPITS-2025 aims to demonstrate this potential, officiuals said. UPEIDA's exhibition stall will be equipped with digital technologies and immersive experiences. It will feature two conference rooms, a store room, and a pantry. Visitors will be welcomed with interactive elements, including 3D modelling, virtual reality, anamorphic displays, immersive projection mapping, and real-time simulations. The stall will also showcase defence sector prototypes such as tanks, missiles, and aircraft via 3D dummies. Aesthetic elements will include wooden plywood flooring, needle-punch carpeting, PVC vinyl façade work, backlit boxes, and waterproof, well-ventilated infrastructure. Four-seater meeting tables, high-end furniture, LED screens, and digital standees will support B2B and B2C engagements, while an interactive table will provide real-time information about all ongoing UPEIDA projects.

6-lane link between Lko-Agra and Purvanchal e-ways soon
Lucknow: Motorists heading to Purvanchal from Agra and the National Capital Region will not have to negotiate city traffic in the years to come. The state govt on Thursday gave its approval to UPEIDA (Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority) to proceed with the construction of the 50-km long six-lane link expressway connecting the Lucknow- Agra Expressway near Mohan Road in the city to the Purvanchal Expressway in Gosainganj. A budget of Rs 4,776 crore is required to undertake the greenfield access control project that will connect the carriageways of the two existing expressways. To create additional linkages and provide an increased catchment area for vehicle owners using the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, UPEIDA will create entry and exit ramps. These ramps will facilitate traffic movement between the upcoming link expressway and Kanpur and Rae Bareli Roads. Officials said those bound for Prayagraj, Fatehpur, Rae Bareli, Amethi, Sultanpur, Kanpur, and Unnao will not have to negotiate city traffic to access the Lucknow-Kanpur and Lucknow–Rae Bareli-Prayagraj national highways. "Also, congestion at Avadh Hospital Chauraha, Singarnagar, Krishnanagar and Barabirwa will decrease substantially," the officer further said.

CM to launch integrated mfg, logistics cluster project to boost growth
1 2 Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday will inaugurate 27 nodes under the Uttar Pradesh Integrated Manufacturing and Logistics Cluster– an initiative of the UP Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) to boost economic development along the highways. An official spokesperson said on Wednesday the integrated approach is expected to accelerate industrial growth, create large-scale employment opportunities and drive balanced regional development across UP. "It will ultimately propel Uttar Pradesh towards its one trillion economy target and achieving industrial self-reliance," the official said. "These nodes, strategically located along major expressways, are not only a dream project of CM Yogi but also hold immense strategic significance. While they will serve as dedicated corridors for manufacturing, they will also host logistics hubs to facilitate seamless movement of goods via road, rail, and air," said the official. They also said the efforts, implemented in collaboration with the central govt, align with Uttar Pradesh's strategy to develop each expressway-linked node into an economic growth engine. "By attracting investments, creating jobs, and promoting regional specialisation, the Yogi govt is setting the foundation for an industrially robust and economically empowered Uttar Pradesh," the official said.
