Uttarakhand secures over Rs. 1 Lakh Crore in grounded investments, boosting economic growth
Uttarakhand has successfully grounded investments worth over Rs. 1 lakh crore, a landmark achievement celebrated at the "Uttarakhand Investment Utsav–2025" held in Rudrapur on Monday. This major milestone comes just over a year after the state's Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2023 and signals a new era of industrial development and economic growth. The event saw the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who lauded Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's visionary leadership, transparent policies, and investor-first approach. 'Uttarakhand is making rapid strides in development, and today's milestone is a reflection of the double-engine government's strong coordination and intent,' said Shah. Of the Rs. 3.5 lakh crore worth of MoUs signed during GIS 2023, more than Rs. 1 lakh crore have already materialised into grounded projects—setting a national benchmark for swift execution. The state government is actively supporting these investments with a streamlined single-window system, sector-specific reforms, and proactive facilitation. Chief Minister Dhami reaffirmed the state's commitment to sustainable, inclusive, and forward-looking growth. 'We are not just attracting investment; we are grounding it with speed, efficiency, and accountability,' he said. Highlighting the state's focus areas, Dhami mentioned the upcoming policies on green industry, logistics, pharma, and the Rs. 200 crore venture capital fund for startups. The state's 'Ease of Doing Business' ranking has improved significantly, and authorities credited the rapid approvals, infrastructure readiness, and industrial-friendly climate for the same. Officials revealed that investment projects have led to employment generation across 14 districts, giving a major boost to local economies. The Investment Utsav also served as a platform for investors to share their experience and endorse Uttarakhand as a prime destination for business expansion. 'The investment climate here is dynamic, efficient, and highly cooperative. We feel confident in scaling up our operations,' said one of the attending industrialists. With over Rs. 1 lakh crore already in execution, the Uttarakhand government aims to ground more projects in the coming months. The event concluded with a renewed call to industries to become a part of the state's transformational journey towards becoming a key pillar in India's vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047.
