Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath secured investment agreements worth Rs 6,650 crore ($800 million) during a high-profile Singapore visit on February 26, 2026. The pacts, signed at the UP-Singapore Business Summit, span electronics, logistics, and green energy, promising 25,000 jobs. Key deals include Ascendas-Singbridge’s Rs 2,500 crore logistics park in Greater Noida, creating 10,000 jobs. Sembcorp committed Rs 1,800 crore to solar projects in Bundelkhand, aligning with UP’s 10 GW renewable target by 2027. Electronics firm GlobalFoundries pledged Rs 1,200 crore for a semiconductor unit in Noida, boosting India’s chip ambitions.
Yogi pitched UP as an “investor-friendly hub,” highlighting ease-of-doing-business reforms: single-window clearances cut approvals to 45 days. UP’s FDI inflows jumped 75% to Rs 15,000 crore in 2025, per state data. Singapore, UP’s top FDI source with $2 billion since 2017, eyes the state’s 240 million consumers.
The CM met Singapore PM Lawrence Wong, discussing infrastructure like the $1 billion Jewar Airport expansion. “UP offers world-class infra and skilled workforce,” Yogi said, referencing 1.5 crore youth trained under Kaushal Vikas Yojana.
These MoUs follow UP’s Global Investors Summit 2023, which drew Rs 40 lakh crore pledges. Implementation tracking via a dedicated portal ensures 70% realization rate. Sectors like semiconductors gain from India’s $10 billion incentive scheme. This boosts UP’s economy, projected to hit $1 trillion by 2029. Singapore firms praised UP’s law-and-order improvements and Plug-and-Play parks. The visit strengthens Indo-Singapore ties, with bilateral trade at $30 billion in 2025.
