U.P. govt gearing up for third electronics manufacturing cluster
Hindustan Times Haryana
|May 31, 2025
After announcing electronics manufacturing clusters (EMC) along Yamuna Expressway and at Greater Noida, the Yogi government is now gearing up to develop a third EMC in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
LUCKNOW:
The government will be making the policy changes soon in order to attract IT firms to eastern part of the state by offering more incentives to them.
Recently, a semiconductor unit by Foxconn and HCL was okayed by the Centre near the Jewar airport in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area. The new semiconductor unit — the first in Uttar Pradesh — is expected to attract an investment of Rs 3,700 crore.
Confirming the development, state's IT and electronics minister Sunil Kumar Sharma told HT, "EMC 1 is about to start and we have also announced EMC 2 in Greater Noida. One such cluster creates around 70,000 to 80,000 employment opportunities. Soon we will be starting work on EMC 3, which will be in eastern Uttar Pradesh."
"As companies are more attracted towards NCR, we will be seeking to make changes in the policy and give some more incentives to the companies which decide to come to East U.P," he said.
