To strengthen its trillion-dollar economy road map, the Uttar Pradesh government will convert expressways into corridors for an array of industries, including manufacturing and food processing.
The state agency, UP Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), will acquire about 100 acres in the vicinity of each expressway project for allotment to industry.
The government will incur nearly Rs 4,000 crore to acquire land near the expressway projects, especially at the entry and exit points, for faster transportation of goods and seamless logistics.
