This was due to fastest industrial development in the state during the past 8 years.

According to the recent report, UP alone is estimated to have a share of 16.3% in the financial year 2025-26 in India's total capital expenses, which is the highest in all states. This will be the second consecutive year when Uttar Pradesh will be on top of capital expenditure under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

In simple terms, this is the expense that the government makes for future convenience and development such as building infrastructure.
