During a recent board meeting, the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) reviewed 34 proposals focused on industrial development and infrastructure enhancement. The meeting, chaired by Alok Kumar (Additional Chief Secretary, Infrastructure and Industrial Development), resulted in the approval of layout plans for industrial areas in Kampil Spinning Mill, Mau Aima, Bahadurganj, Salempur, and Barabanki. Proposals for areas in Ballia, Hathras, Fatehpur, Barabanki, and Chitrakoot were also reviewed, leading to necessary modifications. A significant decision was made to implement a drone-based monitoring system to oversee civil, electrical, and waste management works. Furthermore, policies were directed to be amended to expand the land bank, with plans to allocate 75% of the land through traditional methods and the remaining 25% via e-auction. Kumar highlighted that these initiatives are expected to bolster investor confidence and improve infrastructure, particularly in regions like Saharanpur and Badaun.
