Govt to set up land banks along e-ways

Saturday, 16 January 2021 | PNS | Lucknow

Aiming to further promote industrialisation in the state, the Yogi government will be setting up land banks along expressways. The tracts would be utilised for setting up industrial units on demand of entrepreneurs.

Initially, land banks would be created along Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Purvanchal Expressway. The former was opened to traffic in 2017, while Purvanchal Expressway was likely to be opened for public by March end for light vehicles.

Setting up industrial units along these two expressways will help in transporting goods within 10 to 12 hours across any corner of the state.

Being a land-locked state, transportation has been a major challenge for entrepreneurs investing in UP. This is a major reason that the government was now preparing to develop industrial parks on sides of expressways.  Investors who have put in funds in the state have been demanding the creation of industrial units along expressways for long. Such units will provide good connectivity to industries.

Places that have been marked for construction of Industrial parks are proposed on Agra-Lucknow Expressway are Hargaon village (Ferozabad), Buhana village (Agra), Pohara village (Chitrakoot) along Bundelkhand Expressway and Bara village (Barabanki) along Purvanchal Expressway.

Currently five Expressways are being laid in Uttar Pradesh. Besides, Purvanchal Expressway, construction has been started on Bundelkhand Expressway, Gorakhpur Link Expressway and projects for Ganga Expressway and Ballia Link Expressway have been proposed.
