In a significant development that underscores growing corporate interest in Uttar Pradesh’s economic landscape, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran held a high-level meeting with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday.
The meeting took place at the Chief Minister’s official residence in Lucknow, and it focused extensively on exploring avenues for industrial development, strategic investment promotion, and the long-term vision for enhancing Uttar Pradesh’s position as a premier business destination.
According to official sources, the dialogue between the two leaders revolved around consolidating and advancing partnerships that could catalyze economic transformation within the state.
The discussions emphasized promoting Uttar Pradesh as a favored destination for both domestic and international investors, highlighting the state’s rapid infrastructure expansion, evolving policy ecosystem, and proactive governance.
Discussion on Ayodhya’s Temple Architecture Museum Project
A prominent topic during the meeting was the progress of the proposed Temple Architecture Museum in Ayodhya, a cultural and spiritual city of global significance.
This ambitious museum project, which is expected to celebrate and preserve India’s ancient temple architecture, is being developed with the vision of positioning Ayodhya as a hub of heritage tourism.
Officials indicated that Chandrasekaran and Adityanath shared detailed insights on the architectural scope, thematic elements, and cultural importance of the museum, with the Tata Group showing interest in playing an active role in its development.
Strategic Infrastructure Projects: Jewar Airport and MRO Facility
Another major point of discussion was the Jewar Airport project—a transformative infrastructure undertaking that is poised to significantly elevate connectivity and economic activity in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The airport, once operational, is expected to become one of the largest in India and will serve as a key logistics, travel, and trade hub for the region.
In addition to this, the possibility of establishing a state-of-the-art Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility for Air India, a Tata Group airline, was also discussed at length. The proposed MRO center would mark a critical milestone in the development of Uttar Pradesh’s aviation ecosystem.

Highlighting the importance of leveraging UP’s demographic dividend and strategic location, the Chief Minister encouraged Tata Sons to expand their footprint in the state by setting up a Global Captive Centre (GCC) in Lucknow, which could serve as a centralized hub for Tata’s global operations in sectors such as IT services, finance, analytics, and R&D.
Tata Group’s Endorsement of UP’s Growth Potential
In response, N Chandrasekaran praised the Uttar Pradesh government for creating a robust and forward-looking investment climate, supported by recent policy reforms, extensive infrastructure upgrades, and a visionary administrative framework.
He commended the leadership of Chief Minister Adityanath and acknowledged the state’s role in shaping the future of India’s economic trajectory.
