Uttar Pradesh government has acquired nearly 3,500 acres of land for its flagship Defence Corridor project, which is estimated to attract public and private sector investment to the tune of Rs 20,000 crore.
“While we have already acquired 3,500 acres of land near Jhansi district for the proposed Defence Corridor, similar steps are also in the pipeline at other places,” UP industrial development minister Satish Mahana told Business Standard here today.
In recent past, the Yogi Adityanath government has speeded up the process of acquiring land for the Corridor since UP is hosting the 11th National Defence Expo in Lucknow on February 5-8, 2020.
