Govt unveils outreach plan to attract investments ahead of GIS in Feb 2026
"Invest UP has crafted a comprehensive strategy, including national and international roadshows to boost investor engagement. International roadshows will be held in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the UAE, Qatar, and Canada in Sep-Oct, aligning with the 'China Plus One' strategy," he said.
The 'China Plus One' strategy is a business approach where companies diversify manufacturing and supply chains by expanding operations beyond China.
Adding that the primary goal was to attract fresh investment proposals for the UP Global Investors Summit (GIS) scheduled for Feb 2026, the spokesperson said that to ensure strong domestic participation, national-level roadshows would be organised in major cities in Dec-Jan.
Officials said that ahead of the new investor outreach programme, the govt will organise fifth groundbreaking ceremony (GBC-5) in Nov with an initial investment target of over Rs 5 lakh crore, hoping that the figure would rise to Rs 10 lakh crore closer to the event.

Invest UP has identified emerging areas under the New Outreach Policy. The Global Capability Centre (GCC) Policy has been notified, and the Footwear and Leather Products Policy will be notified soon.
Drafts of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Private Investment Promotion Policy have been prepared. These policies will include provisions such as the Quick Investment Promotion Scheme, exemption limit for expansion/diversification, and conversion of MSMEs to large enterprises.
To ensure the success of the new outreach plan, the govt is holding an hour-long investor roundtable meeting every 15 days. Meetings are also held every week to update the strategy based on investor feedback. High-level meetings are also being held to generate new leads in collaboration with the ministry of external affairs (MEA).

PM Modi to dedicate railway projects worth Rs 1,030 crore in Tamil Nadu
CHENNAI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate a series of development projects in Tamil Nadu during his visit to Thoothukudi on Saturday, including key railway electrification and doubling works valued at Rs 1,030 crore. The PM will dedicate three critical railway infrastructure projects: Electrification of the 90 km Madurai-Bodinayakkanur line, doubling of the 21 km Nagercoil Town-Kanniyakumari section under the Thiruvananthapuram-Kanniyakumari corridor, and doubling of the Aralvaymozhi-Nagercoil Junction (12.87 km and Tirunelveli-Melappalaiyam (3.6 km) stretches. The Madurai-Bodinayakkanur section, previously a meter gauge route, was converted to broad gauge at a cost of Rs 99 crore. This is expected to promote environmentally sustainable transport, enhance tourism, and benefit farmers, students, and small traders in the Madurai and Theni districts. Similarly, the doubling of tracks in Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari will significantly boost rail connectivity across southern Tamil Nadu. The project facilitates the introduction of more passenger and freight services while enhancing overall operational efficiency, according to an official release. For the Nagercoil Town-Kanniyakumari doubling project alone, the railways incurred an expenditure of Rs 650 crore, forming a vital part of the larger Thiruvanan–thapuram-Kanniyakumari corridor. The remaining two sections – Aralvaymozhi-Nagercoil and Tirunelveli-Melappalaiyam - were completed at a cost of Rs 283 crore, the release said.

Aadi cracks up egg price by Rs 1 in a month, Namakkal poultry sector faces heat
NAMAKKAL: The Namakkal poulty sector is feeling the chill wind of a drop in egg price as the rate per unit has dropped by nearly Rs 1, thanks to disruptions in demand and supply caused by the ongoing Sawan festival (also called Shravan) in North India. The sector is bracing itself for more loss as the 'price is expected to fall a little more' in the foreseeable future. According to the National Egg Coordination Committee, the price per egg in Namakkal on July 1 stood at Rs 5.75. As of July 24, it has come down to Rs 4.80 – a fall of nearly Rs 1 within a few weeks. The fall in consumption during this religious period (Sawan) has triggered a chain reaction across egg-producing states, forcing Namakkal's poultry industry to reduce prices. The Sawan month, which lasts from mid-July to August, is a time of religious observance across many northern states, during which people avoid consuming meat and eggs. The situation continues with festivals such as Nag Panchami and Janmashtami, which also fall within this period and contribute to less consumption of non-veg food. Andhra Pradesh (AP), the country's top egg producer, is the primary supplier to northern states. With demand falling during Sawan, AP producers have slashed prices drastically, even below production cost, to avoid piling up of stock. When prices drop in AP, their eggs begin entering southern markets like Chennai, Bengaluru, and Kerala – all key buyers of Namakkal's eggs. As buyers shift to AP eggs for cost reasons, Namakkal traders too are forced to reduce their prices to stay competitive. 'From mid-July to August, every year the price of eggs sees a significant drop,' Vangili Subramanian, president of the Tamil Nadu Egg Poultry Marketing Society, said, adding that 'when AP reduces prices due to fall in demand in the North, southern markets start buying from them instead of us, and that hits Namakkal hard'. The current production cost per egg ranges between Rs 4.50 to Rs 4.75, leaving very little margin for producers. 'The price is expected to fall a little more,' Vangili said. 'If the price per egg drops to Rs 4.50 or lower, it will go below our production cost, and we will incur severe losses,' said C Sasikumar, a local poultry owner in Namakkal.
