Yogi Pitches Uttar Pradesh as Investment Hub in Talks with Singapore Sovereign Funds

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath began his official visit to Singapore with a series of high-level meetings aimed at attracting long-term institutional investments and strengthening financial partnerships to accelerate the state’s economic expansion.

During the visit, the Chief Minister met executives of sovereign investment institutions including GIC , Temasek , and senior leadership of DBS Group , discussing investment opportunities in data centres, logistics hubs, renewable energy , industrial parks, and sustainable urban development. These engagements are part of Uttar Pradesh ’s broader strategy to position itself as a major manufacturing and infrastructure destination for global capital.

Adityanath highlighted the state’s investor-friendly policy ecosystem, improved law-and-order environment, and fast-track approval systems designed to reduce project delays. He also pointed to the rapid expansion of expressways, industrial corridors, and logistics networks as key factors drawing international interest. Recent outreach by the state’s investment promotion arm has already generated interest among global investors in sectors such as smart infrastructure, renewable energy, and digital services.

The Chief Minister’s discussions with Singapore’s sovereign funds focused on long-term capital participation in infrastructure and technology-driven sectors. Officials said partnerships with global institutional investors are crucial for financing mega projects such as industrial townships, green energy facilities, and logistics parks.

Singapore’s financial institutions are also seen as strategic partners in project financing and capital market access. DBS Group , which has a significant presence in India, discussed mechanisms to support investment flows and infrastructure funding in the state. The engagement signals Uttar Pradesh’s effort to deepen ties with global financial hubs while improving access to international funding channels.

The visit, under the India-Singapore Comprehensive Strategic Partnership , focuses on digitalisation, sustainability, skills, advanced manufacturing, and connectivity. It aims to boost Uttar Pradesh’s trillion-dollar economy ambition, strengthen India’s growth targets, and includes meetings with Singapore’s leadership, industry stakeholders, and the Indian diaspora
