Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday visited the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show-2025 (UPITS-2025) at Greater Noida in Gautam Buddha Nagar district.
The trade show will be held from Sept 25 to 29.
Under the theme ‘Ultimate Sourcing Begins Here’, the event will feature Russia as a partner country. More than 2,400 exhibitors, 1,25,000 B2B visitors, and 4,50,000 B2C visitors are expected to participate.
Envisioned under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, UPITS 2025 will showcase Uttar Pradesh’s industrial, agricultural, cultural, and innovation strengths on a global stage.
Beyond trade and investment, the event aims to create a future-ready ecosystem for youth, entrepreneurs, and international delegates, while celebrating the state’s diverse identity through the confluence of craft, culture, and cuisine.
Since its inception, UPITS has grown significantly in scale and impact. The inaugural 2023 edition, opened by President Droupadi Murmu, featured 1,914 exhibitors and 400 foreign buyers.
A major highlight will be the One District One Product (ODOP) Pavilion in Hall No. 9, with 343 stalls dedicated to the signature products of each district.
From Bhadohi carpets and Firozabad glasswork to Moradabad metalware and Saharanpur woodcraft, the displays will showcase the journey of Uttar Pradesh’s craftsmanship from local to global.
The pavilion will also create opportunities for networking, business collaborations, and partnerships involving startups and designers.
On September 26, the Russia-India Business Dialogue will bring together policymakers, industrialists, financial institutions, insurance firms, and academia from both nations.
This dialogue will not only strengthen economic cooperation but also pave the way for technological partnerships, joint ventures, and new business opportunities in Uttar Pradesh.
