The Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor is a green-field project. The project would be beneficial not only for the defence and aerospace industry but also for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and start-ups established in the project area, he said.

The chief minister, who addressed the CII-Indigenization Summit on Defence and Aerospace-2021 (CII-ISDA-2021) through virtual medium, said the useful suggestions received in the summit would prove useful in making India self-reliant in the field of defence production.

The summit, based on the theme ‘India Marching Towards Self-Reliance in Defence and Aerospace,’’ has been jointly organized by CII, UPEDA and Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM) from July 28 to July 31, 2021.

Yogi said the state government had implemented the model of development of the Prime Minister with full commitment. The initiatives taken by the state government during the last four years under the inspiration and guidance of the Prime Minister had changed the perception of the people in the country and the world regarding Uttar Pradesh. The state government’s zero tolerance policy towards crime and corruption had strengthened law and order in the state, he said.
