The second roadshow in the series leading up to the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS)-2025 was successfully held on Friday at the Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) Hyderabad. The event witnessed participation of over 150 industrialists, exporters, trade consultants and business organisations. The roadshow aimed to enhance national awareness and participation in UPITS 2025 scheduled for September.
Addressing the gathering as the chief guest, Uttar Pradesh MSME, khadi and village industries minister Rakesh Sachan said, “Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the fastest-growing economy in India and is rapidly transforming into a global trade hub. The UPITS is more than a trade fair, it is a platform to bring global recognition to our artisans, MSMEs and local entrepreneurs.”
Raj Kamal Yadav, additional commissioner (industries), UP government, highlighted that UPITS is India’s first state-led international trade show. “Last year, the event generated business worth Rs500–600 crore, with major companies like Titan placing orders with local artisans. It’s opening doors to global markets for small manufacturers,” he said.
He also emphasised the potential for synergy between Uttar Pradesh and Telangana, both industrial powerhouses, especially in sectors like IT, textiles, pharma, and handicrafts.
