The news

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday, 12 November 2026, addressed the groundbreaking ceremony of CNH Industrial's new tractor and bulldozer manufacturing plant in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area near Jewar. The factory, planned on 100 acres at a cost exceeding ₹1,200 crore, is expected to produce bulldozers and tractors, creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs, officials said.

Speaking via video conference, the Chief Minister said bulldozers have become a brand of Uttar Pradesh and that demand for the machines made in the state would rise both in India and abroad. He linked the investment to the state's law-and-order record, stating that the end of mafia rule and a zero-tolerance policy against crime had turned Uttar Pradesh into a major investment destination. The plant is also expected to support agricultural mechanisation and modern manufacturing, according to the state government.

What is the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority?

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) was established by the Uttar Pradesh government under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. It was created to develop planned industrial, residential and institutional areas along the 165-kilometre Yamuna Expressway that connects Greater Noida with Agra. The authority functions as a planning and development agency responsible for land acquisition, infrastructure development and allotment of plots to industries and other users. Its jurisdiction covers notified areas in several districts including Gautam Buddh Nagar, where the new CNH Industrial plant is located.

What is the industrial ecosystem around Jewar?

The YEIDA area around Jewar is being developed as an industrial and logistics hub. Projects in the region include the Noida International Airport, the HCL-Foxconn semiconductor plant, a medical device park, a toy park, an MSME park and a data centre, according to the Chief Minister. Jewar, once known for crime, is now emerging as a major investment centre, he said.

What investment and enterprise numbers did the government report?

The Chief Minister said Uttar Pradesh had received investment proposals exceeding ₹50 lakh crore over the preceding nine and a half years, of which ₹15 lakh crore had reached the ground. He reported that the number of factories in the state had risen from 14,000 to 35,000 and startups from 120 to 25,000. Investment proposals and investments on the ground are distinct indicators, officials noted.

How does the government plan to prepare workers for such industries?

The state government is training youth to match industry requirements through partnerships with companies including Tata, Samsung, Microsoft, IBM and Infosys, the Chief Minister said. The aim is to create an industry-ready workforce for sectors such as IT, semiconductors, robotics and agritech, he added.
