Lucknow,

Nov 12 (HS): The CNH Groundbreaking Ceremony was held on Thursday, to kick off

construction of CNH Industrial's new greenfield tractor manufacturing site at

Greater Noida (Jewar/Yamuna Expressway), Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath virtually attended and spoke at the function from

Lucknow. CNH Industrial is investing more than Rs. 1,000 crore to build this

new plant. This is part of a larger Rs. 2,000 crore investment and R&D

commitment in India by 2030. The facility is being constructed on 100 acres (40

hectares) of land allocated by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development

Authority (YEIDA) in the Greater Noida/Jewar area.

The

factory is intended to dramatically increase CNH's Indian manufacturing

presence, doubling annual tractor production capacity from 70,000 to 1.2-1.4

lakh (120,000-140,000) units. The first phase is projected to be operational by

2028. Addressing the occasion, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized Uttar

Pradesh's improved law and order and ease of doing business. He stated that the

initiative will increase farm mechanization, modern manufacturing, and local

jobs, and urged that CNH explore producing bulldozers in the state alongside

tractors.

CM

says, I am confident that this project will not only help in farm

mechanisation and modern manufacturing but also generate local employment and

skill development. A state whose very name—'Uttar' faced many questions before

2017 of exodus, of neglect, of backwardness, of identity crisis, of anarchy. Under

the guidance of PM Modi, Uttar Pradesh has today transformed from a state of

unrest into a state of celebration. In the state, the 'rule of the mafia' has

been replaced by the 'rule of law.' Thanks to a robust law and order situation,

Uttar Pradesh has made rapid strides towards 'ease of doing business,'

'fearless business,' and 'trust in doing business.' And today, companies from

across the country and abroad are lining up to invest in this very state.

Today,

Uttar Pradesh has carved out a new identity for itself as a premier investment

destination in the country. The establishment of law and order in Uttar Pradesh

is not solely due to police recruitment; it is also a result of the

modernisation of the police force, combined with a policy of 'zero tolerance'

toward crime and criminals. In this context, you have surely heard about UP’s

'bulldozers.' Therefore, I would suggest to the CNH—since you are here to

manufacture tractors—that you should also consider manufacturing these

'bulldozers' in UP. There will naturally be a high demand for them, both domestically

and internationally, as they have already become a brand of this region.

Under

the present government, Uttar Pradesh has gone from being a state of upadrav

(unrest) to utsav (celebration) and a leading investment destination, according

to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. While tickling the funny bone, UP CM

suggested that while CNH makes tractors, they may consider producing

UP-style bulldozers given their great local and worldwide demand as

a regional brand. He has made political comments ahead of the approaching 2027.

Elections in Uttar Pradesh contrast the state's present law-and-order position

with its historical issues.
