In a high-level strategy session held on Monday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath conducted a comprehensive review of the state’s economic trajectory, sectoral performance, and revenue systems.
Framing the meeting as a moment of reflection and recalibration, the Chief Minister described the state’s progress as a “shift from mere possibilities to real outcomes.”
He emphasized that Uttar Pradesh’s economic advancement is no longer confined to optimistic projections or policy intentions — it is now evident in visible, measurable results. “This is no longer a story of potential. It is a story of performance,” Adityanath asserted.
GSDP Soars by 80% in Four Years: A Milestone in Fiscal Strength
The data presented during the meeting showed a sharp surge in Uttar Pradesh’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), which reached a robust Rs 9.6 lakh crore in the financial year 2024–25 — an 80% increase compared to 2020–21.
More significantly, the state’s contribution to the national economy has gone up from 8.4% to 8.9% during the same period. The Chief Minister hailed this progress as a “significant milestone” and said it reflected the state’s steady movement toward self-reliance and balanced development.
He outlined a clear objective: raising Uttar Pradesh’s share in the national GDP to 10% by 2026. For this, he urged a sector-specific, time-bound strategy to accelerate the pace of growth.

Industrial Momentum: ‘Make in UP’ Model Gains Prominence
CM Adityanath pointed to a major structural shift in the economic makeup of the state, with manufacturing and services gaining momentum while agriculture’s share is witnessing a relative decline. He reaffirmed the government’s focus on the ‘#MakeInUP’ initiative as the foundational model for future industrial development.
The Chief Minister called on departments to actively facilitate new industrial units, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, to ensure balanced regional development and employment generation.
He also underscored the need to enhance the capacity and responsiveness of District Industry Centres, so they can provide timely support, streamline factory registration, and foster industrial engagement at the grassroots.
Agricultural Production Rises, But Productivity Gaps Persist
In the agriculture sector, the state continues to lead with an anticipated foodgrain output of 722 lakh metric tonnes in 2024–25, up by 100 lakh metric tonnes since 2020–21. However, disparities in crop productivity among districts remain a concern.
For example, while wheat productivity in some areas has reached an impressive 46 quintals per hectare, others are lagging at 30 quintals per hectare. Adityanath termed this inconsistency an “imbalance” and called for district-specific interventions including:
-
Technical guidance for farmers
-
Awareness campaigns
-
Capacity-building through extension services

Animal Husbandry: Milk, Eggs Up; Productivity Needs Focus
The review also highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s leadership in milk production, with significant strides in egg output as well. However, the Chief Minister made it clear that volume alone isn’t enough — the focus must now shift to per-animal productivity, which remains below optimal levels.
He directed officials to:
-
Track and improve breed quality
-
Ensure proper feed management
-
Modernize dairy infrastructure
These efforts are essential for sustained growth and better income for livestock farmers.

The manufacturing ecosystem in Uttar Pradesh has undergone substantial expansion, with the number of registered factories crossing 27,000 in the financial year 2024–25. The Chief Minister emphasized equitable industrial growth to ensure that no district is left behind in the state’s economic journey.
He encouraged close coordination between industries and local administrative bodies, and urged stronger mechanisms for onboarding new businesses, thereby boosting job creation and district-level economic resilience.

IT and Service Exports Boom: 40% Rise in Software Exports
In a promising development for the technology and services sector, the meeting noted a 40% surge in IT exports from the state. In 2024–25, software and tech services routed through Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) amounted to Rs 46,800 crore, up from Rs 33,400 crore in 2021–22.
The state is also witnessing strong growth in tourism, hospitality, and trade, sectors that are becoming key contributors to Uttar Pradesh’s service economy.

Revenue Health: GST and Excise Collections Climb
The Chief Minister took note of the state’s strong revenue performance, particularly in its two primary streams:
-
GST collections crossed Rs 1.49 lakh crore in 2024–25, reflecting a 6.6% growth over the previous year.
-
Excise duty revenues soared to Rs 52,574 crore, marking a 15% year-on-year jump.
Adityanath praised the departments for ensuring effective tax compliance and transparent administration but called for further revenue optimization through digital audits and real-time tracking mechanisms.

Transport and Connectivity: CM Advocates New Bus Routes
Turning to the road transport sector, CM Yogi emphasized the need to identify and develop new routes for private bus services, especially in underserved regions. Such a move, he noted, would not only improve public mobility but also open new revenue channels for the state while encouraging private participation in public transport.

A key aspect of the meeting was data governance. The Chief Minister issued strict instructions to all departments to ensure that economic and sectoral data is accurate, up-to-date, and validated. He stressed the need for data integrity, particularly when making policy decisions.
He also instructed departments to develop clear, measurable, and time-bound roadmaps for key sectors like:
-
Agriculture
-
Manufacturing
-
Services
-
Energy
-
Human Resources
These roadmaps will be regularly reviewed by the Planning Department to track outcomes and course-correct wherever necessary.
