Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday, 12 November 2026, virtually laid the foundation stone of a new tractor manufacturing facility by CNH Industrial in Jewar, Gautam Buddh Nagar, within the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) zone. The plant, spread across 100 acres in Sector-8, is expected to draw an investment of approximately ₹1,200 crore and generate around 1,200 direct jobs, besides a significant number of indirect employment opportunities.

Project at a Glance

The ultra-modern facility, set up by CNH Industrial — one of the world's leading agricultural machinery manufacturers — will be located in the rapidly industrialising YEIDA corridor. Officials say the plant will cater to both domestic and export markets, with Uttar Pradesh already accounting for roughly 18.5% of India's tractor market, making the state a natural home for such an investment.

The project is expected to advance as a cornerstone of the region's industrial identity, particularly given the proximity of the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar, which is set to transform the logistics landscape of western Uttar Pradesh.

What CM Adityanath Said

Addressing the event, Adityanath attributed the surge in investor confidence to the state's improved law-and-order environment and a policy of zero tolerance toward crime. 'New avenues of development have opened up in the region with the support of local farmers and public representatives,' he said.

In a remark that drew attention, the Chief Minister declared: 'The bulldozer has become a brand of Uttar Pradesh,' arguing that as products such as bulldozers and tractors are manufactured in the state, demand for them will grow both in India and abroad.

He also credited the central government's guidance, stating that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh has attracted investment proposals worth more than ₹50 lakh crore over the past nine-and-a-half years. Of these, investments worth nearly ₹15 lakh crore have already materialised, while proposals worth ₹7.5 lakh crore are reportedly at a pre-ground-breaking stage.

UP's Broader Industrial Trajectory

Adityanath highlighted a range of metrics to underscore the state's economic transformation. The number of registered factories has reportedly risen from 14,000 to 35,000, while MSME units have crossed one crore. The startup count has surged from 120 to 25,000, according to state government data.

The Chief Minister also noted that Uttar Pradesh now ranks first in the country in deregulation and has moved into the top three state economies nationally, progressing toward a stated goal of becoming a $1-trillion economy.

Jewar as an Emerging Industrial Hub

Several marquee projects are already taking shape in the YEIDA region. These include the HCL-Foxconn semiconductor plant, a Medical Device Park, a Toy Park, an MSME Park, and multiple data centre projects. Adityanath said the state is also building capacity in emerging sectors — IT, semiconductors, cybersecurity, robotics, and agritech — in collaboration with companies such as Tata, Samsung, Microsoft, IBM, Infosys, and HCL.

With the CNH Industrial plant now formally initiated, the YEIDA corridor is set to deepen its identity as one of North India's fastest-growing industrial destinations — a development that will be watched closely by investors considering their next expansion in the region.
