Unnao district in Uttar Pradesh is poised for a significant industrial surge as the government plans to develop an additional 316 hectares of industrial corridor land alongside the Ganga Expressway.
The initiative follows rising investor interest—both national and international in the ongoing development of Phase One, spread across 132 hectares near Sarai Katiyan village in Bichhiya Block, Sadar Tehsil.
Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) posted on X that Chief Secretary Manoj Shankar Singh visited the site and officially marked land for Phase Two of the industrial corridor.
Subsequently, District Magistrate Gaurang Rathi instructed SDM Kshitij Dwivedi to make land arrangements for the project.
With its location flanked by the Lucknow-Kanpur Highway and the Ganga Expressway, the corridor is expected to provide seamless connectivity for industrial transport and logistics.
It is poised to be a catalyst for regional growth, creating employment opportunities and attracting significant investment from national and international players alike.
Following approval of Phase Two, land acquisition and related processes are expected to commence swiftly.
The Uttar Pradesh government also recently took the decision to freeze land transactions along the 74.3 km, Rs 4,000 crore greenfield expressway linking Noida International Airport with the Ganga Expressway to prevent speculative deals.
These developments are expected to ease travel between major cities and support industrial development.
