Lucknow: In a major push towards accelerating investments and achieving the vision of a $1 trillion economy, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will launch the advanced single-window platform ‘Nivesh Mitra 3.0’ on March 24 at Lok Bhavan.
The initiative marks a significant step in strengthening the state’s business ecosystem and aligning its Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) framework with global standards. Alongside the launch, the Chief Minister will also unveil the UP Private Business Park Development Scheme–2025 and the innovative Plug-and-Play Industrial Sheds Scheme, designed to enable investors to commence operations swiftly.
Boost to Investment and Industrial Growth
During the event, Yogi Adityanath will distribute Letters of Comfort (LoCs), Eligibility Certificates (ECs), land allotment letters, and subsidies worth ₹2,781.12 crore to 85 companies across sectors including manufacturing, cement, electronics, food processing, iron and steel, services, and automobiles.
These initiatives are expected to significantly enhance investor confidence and drive industrial growth in the state.
AI-Driven Next-Generation Platform
Developed as a next-generation digital platform, Nivesh Mitra 3.0 aims to simplify and accelerate approvals required for setting up and operating industries. Building upon the strong foundation of its predecessor, which integrated over 530 services across 43 departments, the upgraded version streamlines processes by consolidating them into fewer than 200 services across more than 40 departments.
The platform introduces several advanced features, including:
- AI-powered chatbot for real-time assistance
- Real-time SMS alerts for application tracking
- Integrated Combined Application Form (CAF)
- GIS-based land bank for easy identification of industrial plots
- End-to-end digital tracking from project approval to commercial production
Integration with the National Single Window System (NSWS) will further improve coordination between central and state-level approvals.
Simplified and Investor-Friendly Processes
To enhance user experience, the system has undergone major rationalization:
- Around 25% reduction in application form fields
- 15% reduction in documentation requirements
- Nearly 20% fewer procedural steps
These reforms are expected to make the approval process faster, more transparent, and highly efficient.
Since its inception in 2018, the Nivesh Mitra platform has processed over 21 lakh applications with an impressive 97% disposal rate, establishing itself as a key pillar of investment facilitation in Uttar Pradesh.
Strategic Partnerships and Skill Development
On the sidelines of the launch, Invest UP will sign Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with key partners to strengthen entrepreneurship and skill development ecosystems.
An MoU will be signed with Xylemx LLP and Maker Ghat to establish an Entrepreneurship Development Cell, while another agreement with The Convergence Foundation will focus on creating a Skill Connect Cell to bridge the gap between industry requirements and workforce capabilities.
Towards a Global Investment Hub
The unveiling of the Plug-and-Play Industrial Sheds Scheme under the PPP model (DBFOT) is expected to be a game-changer, enabling industries to begin production with minimal setup time by providing ready-to-use infrastructure.
Senior leaders including Finance Minister Suresh Khanna, Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, Chief Secretary S. P. Goyal, and senior officials along with investors from across the country will be present at the event.
With a strong focus on digital innovation, policy support, and infrastructure readiness, Uttar Pradesh is positioning itself as a preferred investment destination and a rapidly emerging global industrial hub.
