Industrial expansion along the Yamuna Expressway corridor in western Uttar Pradesh gained fresh momentum on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath virtually laid the foundation stone for global equipment manufacturer CNH Industrial’s modern tractor manufacturing plant near Jewar in Greater Noida. Coming up across a sprawling 100-acre campus in Sector 8D, Dayaurar, within the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region, the greenfield facility involves an estimated investment of ₹1,200 crore—with total project outlays pegged at ₹1,219 crore—and is projected to generate employment opportunities for approximately 2,000 youth. Designed to reach an annual production capacity of 100,000 tractors at full scale, with its initial operational phase scheduled for mid-2028, the plant will serve both domestic farmers and international export markets. Addressing the groundbreaking ceremony via video conferencing from Lucknow, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath underscored how decisive governance has reshaped Uttar Pradesh over the past nine-and-a-half years. He noted that prior to 2017, a state whose very identity carried the spirit of excellence was plagued by forced migration and frequent riots, whereas under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership since 2017, Uttar Pradesh has shed its riot-prone image to emerge as a peaceful "festival state."

Bulldozers Become UP's Brand: CM Yogi Invites CNH to Build Heavy Equipment

Linking improved law and order directly to industrial capital inflows, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated that companies from across India and abroad are now actively choosing the YEIDA belt around Jewar because investors feel secure. According to the Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh’s uncompromising zero-tolerance policy toward crime and criminals, reinforced by decisive bulldozer action against illegal encroachments and mafia networks, has transformed the state into a premier manufacturing hub. Speaking to corporate executives and local leaders gathered in Greater Noida, Yogi Adityanath remarked that Uttar Pradesh’s bulldozers have become a topic of discussion nationwide and have evolved into a recognizable brand of the state itself. Extending an open invitation to CNH Industrial—whose global portfolio spans agricultural icons like New Holland and Case IH alongside CASE Construction Equipment—the Chief Minister said that if the company manufactures both tractors and bulldozers at its upcoming Uttar Pradesh facility, demand for its machinery will grow naturally across domestic and overseas markets.

Jewar Emerges as India's Investment Jewel Around Noida International Airport

Turning his focus to the rapid urban and industrial transformation of Gautam Buddh Nagar district, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath described Jewar as one of India’s finest investment destinations and an emerging "jewel" of the nation. Historically overlooked and once associated with rural crime, the Jewar region is now undergoing structural reinvention anchored by the upcoming Noida International Airport and YEIDA’s 25,000-hectare master-planned industrial zone. Together, the international aviation gateway, expressway connectivity, and dedicated industrial clusters are positioning Greater Noida and the broader Yamuna Expressway corridor as northern India’s leading manufacturing, economic, and logistics hub. During his address, the Chief Minister expressed heartfelt gratitude to the local farmers of Dayaurar and surrounding Jewar villages who provided land for the CNH project and adjoining infrastructure. He emphasized that industrial investments of this scale do far more than create direct factory jobs for local youth; they spark ancillary workshops, transport services, housing, and thriving local businesses that uplift entire rural communities.

Boosting Agricultural Mechanization and Uttar Pradesh's Industrial Surge

Highlighting the strategic synergy between CNH Industrial’s manufacturing expertise and Uttar Pradesh’s agrarian strength, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath noted that the new plant will inject fresh momentum into modern agricultural mechanization. Uttar Pradesh alone accounts for roughly 18.5 percent of India’s total tractor market, making local production near major farming belts in western and central Uttar Pradesh a win for both farmers and supply-chain efficiency. Placing the ₹1,200 crore project within the state’s broader economic resurgence, the Chief Minister shared that Uttar Pradesh has attracted investment proposals worth over ₹50 lakh crore during the past nine-and-a-half years. Out of this pipeline, projects valued at ₹15 lakh crore have already been implemented on the ground, while proposals worth ₹7.5 lakh crore are prepared for groundbreaking at the upcoming Investors' Summit. Over the same period, operational factories across Uttar Pradesh have expanded from 14,000 to 35,000, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have reached the one-crore mark, and registered startups have surged from just 120 to 25,000, propelling Uttar Pradesh from among India’s bottom five economies into the country’s top three states on its march toward a $1 trillion economy.

Semiconductor, Robotics, and Tech Ecosystems Take Shape in Greater Noida

Beyond heavy engineering and farm machinery, the Chief Minister outlined a diverse wave of high-technology projects taking root across the Jewar-YEIDA corridor. Alongside CNH Industrial’s 100-acre plant, major initiatives under development in the region include the HCL-Foxconn semiconductor manufacturing facility, a dedicated Medical Device Park, a Toy Park, an MSME Park, an Apparel Park, and hyperscale data centers. Yogi Adityanath emphasized that rising capital inflows into information technology, semiconductors, cybersecurity, robotics, and agritech are opening high-value career pathways for skilled young professionals across Noida, Greater Noida, Lucknow, and neighboring districts. Echoing the Chief Minister’s remarks, Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi' and Minister of State for Agriculture and Agricultural Education Baldev Singh Aulakh hailed the CNH Industrial facility as a milestone for both industrial growth and farm productivity. The foundation-laying ceremony in Greater Noida was attended by Gautam Buddh Nagar Member of Parliament Dr. Mahesh Sharma, Rajya Sabha MP Surendra Singh Nagar, Jewar MLA Dhirendra Singh, Dadri MLA Tejpal Singh Nagar, CNH Industrial Chair Suzanne Heywood, Chief Executive Officer Gerrit Marx, India Region President Narinder Mittal, and senior officials from YEIDA and the state administration.
