Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday launched Nivesh Mitra 3.0, the upgraded single-window investment portal, aimed at making the state a more seamless and reliable destination for businesses.
Launching the platform in Lucknow, the Chief Minister said Uttar Pradesh has undergone a major transformation in recent years, driven by better governance, improved law and order, and a stronger focus on ease of doing business.
A Digital Platform for Faster Approvals
Nivesh Mitra 3.0 has been designed as an integrated digital system to simplify approvals for investors. The portal brings together over 530 services from 43 departments, now streamlined into fewer than 200 simplified services.
Key features of the platform include:
- PAN-based single login system
- Dynamic common application form
- AI-powered chatbot assistance
- Real-time tracking of applications
- Automated alerts and digital monitoring
The system is also integrated with national and state platforms like NSWS, IGRS, and GIS-based land bank systems, making the approval process more transparent and predictable.
Push for Investment and Industrial Growth
During the event, the government distributed ₹2,781.12 crore in incentives to 85 industrial projects across sectors such as manufacturing, automobiles, electronics, cement, and food processing.
Out of this, ₹73 crore was allocated to IT and electronics projects, while ₹20 crore was given to food processing units.
Additionally, 45 companies received incentives, and 62 companies were issued Letters of Comfort (LoCs). These proposals together represent nearly ₹50,000 crore in investment potential, with an estimated 50,000 job opportunities.
Focus on Faster Implementation
CM Yogi Adityanath stressed that signing MoUs is only the first step, and the real focus is on ensuring that projects are implemented quickly on the ground.
He assured investors that administrative hurdles will be addressed promptly and that the government is committed to converting proposals into operational businesses.
Simplified Land Approval Process
One of the major reforms announced is the simplification of land-use approvals. The earlier complex process under Section 80 has been removed.
Now, once a project map is approved under the master plan, land-use approval will be automatically granted, reducing delays and making it easier for industries to set up operations.
Strong Law and Order as Key Factor
The Chief Minister highlighted that improved law and order has played a crucial role in attracting investments. He noted that earlier, investors were hesitant to enter the state, but today Uttar Pradesh is seen as a safe and stable investment destination.
He reiterated the government’s zero-tolerance policy against crime and mafia interference, stating that any disruption to industrial activity will be dealt with strictly.
Growing Investor Confidence
Highlighting the change in investment trends, CM Yogi said that while only 16 Letters of Comfort were issued between 2012 and 2017, the number has increased to 3,367 in the last nine years.
This, he said, reflects growing trust among investors and the state’s rising industrial profile.
A Step Towards Digital and Industrial Transformation
With the launch of Nivesh Mitra 3.0, Uttar Pradesh is aiming to strengthen its ease-of-doing-business framework through digital governance, faster approvals, and policy stability.
The initiative marks another step in the state’s effort to position itself as a major industrial and investment hub in India.
