Global agricultural and construction equipment major CNH Industrial officially broke ground on its ambitious ₹1,219 crore tractor manufacturing plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area of Greater Noida on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Addressing the landmark ceremony alongside senior global leadership, CNH India Region President Narendra Mittal (also widely referred to as Narinder Mittal) credited the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the progressive industrial policies of the Uttar Pradesh government for creating an exceptionally favorable environment for large-scale manufacturing investments. With Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath joining the event virtually from Lucknow, and CNH Chair of the Board of Directors Suzanne Heywood and Chief Executive Officer Gerrit Marx in attendance in Greater Noida, the occasion marked a major milestone for industrial expansion along the Yamuna Expressway corridor near Jewar. Mittal emphasized that the Chief Minister’s personal encouragement, administrative support, and unwavering commitment to industrial development have unlocked fresh possibilities for capital inflows, technological innovation, and long-term industrial growth across Uttar Pradesh.

Visionary Leadership and Policy Stability Turning UP Into an Investment Magnet

Expressing heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath during his address, Narendra Mittal noted that the Uttar Pradesh government’s consistent handholding and confidence in CNH played a decisive role in turning the ₹1,219 crore greenfield project from blueprint into reality. According to Mittal, proactive governance and clear policy execution under the Chief Minister’s leadership have fostered a positive, predictable, and results-oriented ecosystem for enterprises looking to scale operations in northern India.

As a direct outcome of these structural reforms—ranging from streamlined land allotment through authorities like YEIDA to rapid expressway connectivity and strengthened law and order—domestic and international industries increasingly view Uttar Pradesh as a premier investment destination rather than merely a consumption market. Mittal highlighted that the state’s responsiveness at every stage of project clearance gave CNH’s global leadership strong confidence in committing substantial long-term capital to Gautam Buddh Nagar district.

Inside CNH Industrial's ₹1,219 Crore Greenfield Plant in YEIDA

Set to rise across a 100-acre campus in Sector 8D of the YEIDA region near the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar, CNH Industrial’s new facility represents one of the most significant agricultural machinery investments in northern India. Designed as a modern greenfield complex, the plant will achieve an annual production capacity of 100,000 tractors at full scale, with its initial operational phase scheduled to commence by mid-2028.

The upcoming YEIDA plant will complement and expand CNH’s existing manufacturing footprint in India, building directly upon the legacy of the company’s established tractor and engine manufacturing unit in Greater Noida as well as its harvester and baler facility in Pune. Engineered to meet global benchmarks, the facility will incorporate advanced robotics, automated assembly lines, and AI-powered quality control systems to deliver precision and high productivity. In alignment with sustainable industrial standards, the campus will also integrate renewable energy generation, closed-loop water recycling, green logistics, and zero-waste recovery systems.

Beyond Factory Walls: Boosting Employment, Ancillary Units, and Farm Mechanization

During his remarks, Narendra Mittal underscored that CNH Industrial’s ₹1,219 crore commitment extends far beyond constructing a standalone manufacturing unit. Instead, the project is structured to generate wide-ranging economic and industrial multiplier effects across Greater Noida, Jewar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, and the broader National Capital Region. By anchoring a high-volume tractor and engine production hub in YEIDA, the facility will strengthen the regional supplier base, stimulate precision component manufacturing among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and expand local demand across logistics, engineering services, and technology support.

Equally transformative will be the plant’s impact on job creation and rural prosperity. The project is expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled youth across Uttar Pradesh, creating pathways for technical training and modern shop-floor careers. Furthermore, because Uttar Pradesh accounts for roughly 18.5 percent of India’s domestic tractor demand, scaling up advanced tractor manufacturing within the state will directly support Indian farmers with modern farm mechanization while strengthening CNH’s capacity to export "Made-in-India" tractors and engines to global markets across more than 160 countries.

A Long-Term Strategic Partnership for Uttar Pradesh's Economic Future

Concluding his address, Narendra Mittal described CNH Industrial’s collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh government as a deeply valued, long-term strategic partnership. He affirmed that CNH remains firmly committed to contributing to Uttar Pradesh’s industrial transformation and participating actively in building a resilient, prosperous economic future for both the state and the nation. Praising the vibrant industrial climate taking shape across Uttar Pradesh under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s stewardship, Mittal characterized the YEIDA groundbreaking as an important milestone on the road to shared development.

The sentiment resonated closely with the state government’s broader economic narrative outlined during the ceremony, where Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath noted that Uttar Pradesh has attracted over ₹50 lakh crore in investment proposals over the past nine-and-a-half years, with projects worth ₹15 lakh crore already grounded. As major industrial ecosystems—from semiconductor units and medical device parks to world-class farm machinery plants—converge around Jewar and Greater Noida, CNH Industrial’s ₹1,219 crore investment stands out as a clear endorsement of Uttar Pradesh’s rise as a manufacturing powerhouse.
