Highlighting the transformation of Jewar, Adityanath said that the region, which was once associated with incidents of crime and violence, was now emerging as an important destination for investment. He credited local farmers, public representatives and residents for their cooperation in the development of the area.
The Chief Minister said the development of the Noida International Airport at Jewar, along with expressways and industrial infrastructure, was helping transform the region into a major industrial, economic and logistics hub. He also referred to upcoming projects in sectors such as semiconductors, electronics, medical devices, apparel, toys and data centres.
Focus on Manufacturing and Employment
Adityanath said the CNH Industrial project would strengthen Uttar Pradesh’s position in agricultural machinery manufacturing. He noted that the state accounts for a significant share of India’s tractor market and that the company’s manufacturing capabilities, combined with the state’s market potential, could create further opportunities in the sector.
According to the Chief Minister, the project is expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities while supporting local businesses and the regional economy. He assured the company of the state government’s support in taking the project forward and congratulated the CNH Industrial team on the initiative.
