The minister noted that the state currently has an annual export volume of around Rs 2 lakh crore and has set a target to increase this to Rs 5 lakh crore by 2030.
“Uttar Pradesh is a preferred investment destination due to its favourable industrial policies,” he said, adding that major corporations and global investors are arriving across sectors, creating new employment opportunities.
