The Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) has prepared a landbank of more than 15,000 acres as part of the Yogi government’s goal of making the state a $ 1 trillion economy and strengthening infrastructure so that global companies visiting GIS-23 have no difficulty setting up plants and projects in the state.
