UP Cabinet Approves 2 Plug-and-Play Schemes To Boost Industrial & Knowledge Sector Investments

Lucknow, Mar 24 (KNN) The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has approved two schemes based on a plug-and-play model to boost investment in industrial and knowledge sectors.

Private Business Park and PPP Industrial Sheds Schemes

The Uttar Pradesh Private Business Park Scheme-2025 allows private developers to build business parks on 10–20 acres of government land and lease plots to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), knowledge sector firms, and global capability centers, with the government providing land for 45 years—extendable if needed—and developers paying a share of lease revenue back to the state.

The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer Plug-and-Play Industrial Sheds Scheme-2026 offers pre-built industrial sheds on 10–20 acre plots, reducing investor costs and cutting the time to start production from 18–36 months to just a few months.

Alok Kumar, UP Additional Chief Secretary of Infrastructure and Industrial Development, said both schemes are designed to facilitate quick operations and attract diverse investments.
