The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has unveiled a roadmap to transform the state into a USD 6 trillion economy by 2047, anchoring it as a cornerstone of India’s growth. The plan, titled Viksit Uttar Pradesh, Samarth Uttar Pradesh @2047, focuses on economic, cultural, and holistic development through strategic industry interventions.
The framework rests on three missions, Samagra Vikas (all-round development), Aarthik Netrutva (economic leadership), and Sanskritik Punarjagran (cultural renaissance), and three thematic pillars: Arth Shakti, Srijan Shakti, and Jeevan Shakti. The government aims to make Uttar Pradesh a USD 1 trillion economy by 2030, progressing to USD 6 trillion by 2047.
To realise this ambition, the state is prioritising future-oriented sectors, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, renewable energy, agritech, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and the metaverse. A blueprint covering 12 key sectors, agriculture, IT, health, education, industry, social welfare, urban and rural development, tourism, hospitality, livestock, sustainable development, and governance, is being finalised.
Since 2017, UP has overhauled its security infrastructure, with modernised police forces, command-and-control centres, and Operation Conviction boosting conviction rates. These reforms restored investor confidence, resulting in record commitments of over Rs 45 lakh crore at the 2023 UP Global Investors Summit, of which Rs 15 lakh crore have been implemented.

The state has introduced a Global Capability Centre (GCC) policy, aimed at attracting Fortune 500 companies to Noida, Lucknow, and other cities. Incentives include land allotment, tax exemptions, and infrastructure support. These centres are expected to generate high-paying jobs in R&D, data analytics, and cybersecurity, establishing UP as an emerging investment powerhouse.
Future industries will underpin the economy: AI will enhance productivity, renewable energy will drive green manufacturing clusters, biotech and health-tech parks will foster medical research, and agritech and vertical farming will raise farmers’ incomes. Experts predict these sectors, combined with GCCs and IT-AI hubs, will propel the state towards USD 6 trillion by 2047.
Employment generation is central to the vision. Smart city projects, renewable energy initiatives, supply chain development, and rural agritech schemes will create millions of jobs across skill levels, while skill development programmes and public-private partnerships ensure feasibility and sustainability.
Maintaining an annual growth rate of 16 per cent will be essential to achieve these targets, raising per capita income and contributing around 20 per cent to India’s GDP. Continuous private and public investment, cluster development, skilled workforce expansion, and a secure business environment remain pivotal, the government said.
