Yogi govt sets $6 trillion goal for UP by 2047 with AI, biotech and renewables
UP's 2047 plan targets a $6T economy via AI, biotech, renewables, and agritech, and $1T by 2030. Clusters, GCCs, and security push aim to drive jobs, investment, and clean growth.
UP's 2047 Growth Playbook: AI, Biotech, Renewables, and Agritech
Uttar Pradesh, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has laid out a clear path to become a USD 6 trillion economy by 2047, with an interim target of USD 1 trillion by 2030. The plan, Viksit Uttar Pradesh, Samarth Uttar Pradesh @2047, ties economic expansion to jobs, infrastructure, and institutional capacity.

Investor Confidence and Security Backbone
Since 2017, modernised policing, command-and-control centres, and Operation Conviction have lifted conviction rates and improved the business climate. This stability helped secure commitments of over Rs 45 lakh crore at the 2023 UP Global Investors Summit, with projects worth Rs 15 lakh crore already in motion.
Global Capability Centre (GCC) Push
A dedicated GCC policy targets Fortune 500 investments in Noida, Lucknow, and other cities. Incentives include land allotment, tax support, and infrastructure, with a focus on R&D, data analytics, and cybersecurity roles-high-quality employment that compounds local skill growth and vendor ecosystems.
How the Sectors Convert to Outcomes
- AI and IT: Productivity gains across departments, MSMEs, and large manufacturing.
- Renewables: Energy cost stability and cleaner supply chains through cluster-based manufacturing.
- Biotech and Health-tech: Research hubs, diagnostics, medical devices, and export potential.
- Agritech: Higher farm incomes via precision inputs, cold chains, and controlled-environment cultivation.
Jobs, Skills, and Inclusion
Smart city projects, renewable installations, logistics build-outs, and rural agritech programmes will create jobs across skill levels. Skill development and public-private partnerships are embedded to keep execution feasible and outcomes measurable.
The Growth Math
Reaching USD 6 trillion by 2047 requires sustaining around 16 percent annual growth, lifting per capita income and contributing roughly 20 percent to India's GDP. The state flags continuous public and private investment, cluster development, a skilled workforce, and secure operations as non-negotiables.
What Government Departments Can Do Now
- 0-90 days: Identify 2-3 anchor clusters per division (AI-IT, biotech, renewables, agritech). Stand up a single-window cell per cluster with time-bound SLAs. Notify standard land allotment terms and plug-and-play norms for power, water, and data connectivity.
- Finance and incentives: Publish a consolidated incentive matrix for GCCs, green manufacturing, and R&D. Reserve viability gap support for common infrastructure (testing labs, cold chains, substations).
- Skills: Create demand-led seats in ITIs, polytechnics, and universities with direct MoUs from anchor firms. Align coursework with AI, cybersecurity, biotech QA, solar and storage O&M.
- Procurement: Introduce sandbox and pilot pathways for AI, agritech, and med-tech solutions; pay-for-performance contracts with clear KPIs.
- Compliance and trust: Expand Operation Conviction best practices to economic offences and cyber incidents. Issue model SOPs for data security for GCCs and health-tech parks.
Next 90-180 days
- Close 10-15 anchor investor agreements across target sectors; co-locate vendors to deepen clusters.
- Commission at least 2 green manufacturing clusters with assured renewable supply and open-access provisions.
- Operationalise 2 biotech or health-tech parks with shared labs, regulatory facilitation, and clinical partnerships.
- Deploy district-level agritech stacks: soil data, FPO onboarding, input credit, and post-harvest linkages.
Execution KPIs to Track Weekly
- Projects grounded and production started; average approval time; land and utility readiness
- GCCs committed, seats operational, and average salary bands
- MW of renewable capacity added and share of open-access power in clusters
- New formal jobs, apprenticeships, and skill certifications issued
- Farm-gate price improvement, cold chain throughput, and post-harvest loss reduction
Risk Checks and Mitigation
- Land and power: Pre-clear parcels; guarantee 24x7 power with defined outage SLAs; enable captive and open-access renewables.
- Talent: Stipend-backed apprenticeships; relocation support for high-skill roles; faculty development with industry modules.
- Financing: Pool state, central schemes, and MDB lines; ring-fence O&M budgets for shared infrastructure.
- Cybersecurity: State-level CERT for GCCs and critical infrastructure; mandatory incident reporting and tabletop exercises.
