Lucknow: After Toy Park, Film City, Medical Device Park and Leather Park, the Uttar Pradesh Government is gearing up to develop an Electronic Park for electronic accessories in Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area.
The park is expected to attract an investment of Rs 50,000 crore and will provide employment to thousands of local youths, according to YEIDA CEO Dr Arun Veer Singh.
“The decision to develop electronic park has been taken in view of the growing interest among electronic industry giants to set up their ventures in Uttar Pradesh due to the investor-friendly policies of the Government. The Park is likely to be developed in an area of 250 acres either in Sector 14, or Sector 10 of YEIDA near Jewar Airport”, Singh said.
