NOIDA/GREATER NOIDA: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said Noida has made a name on the global front with the opening up of IT firms and data centre projects in the city, crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi for reshaping the state's economic and industrial landscape.

The CM made the remarks while laying the foundation stone for a number of projects in Gautam Budh Nagar district, including that for US tech firm Microsoft's new research and development facility in Noida Sector 145. He also inaugurated a number of ventures in Noida and Greater Noida, including two projects in Sector 132—a Sify data centre and an MAQ artificial intelligence centre.

"Noida has made a name on the global front with the opening up of IT firms and Data centre projects as it has not only created thousands of jobs but also business opportunities. Today Noida alone makes at least 70% of the mobiles in the country, creating history by becoming the city of opportunities for the youth," he said.
