In a move to deepen industrial partnerships and attract global capital, Invest UP, the state’s nodal investment promotion and facilitation agency, held a dedicated interaction through its Germany Desk in collaboration with the Embassy of India in Berlin. The dialogue focused on building stronger economic linkages, encouraging technology transfer, and positioning Uttar Pradesh as a competitive hub for global investors.
Embassy Pledges Support for UP’s Investment Drive
The meeting, chaired by Shashank Chaudhary, Additional CEO of Invest UP, brought together officials from the German Desk and the Embassy of India in Berlin.
Deepak Singh Randhawa, Second Secretary at the Indian Mission in Germany, reaffirmed the embassy’s commitment to extend full support for Uttar Pradesh’s forthcoming investment roadshows and B2B engagement programmes. He stressed that collaboration with German industry associations, chambers of commerce, and SME clusters would be vital in driving trade and investment flows from Germany into the state.
Showcasing UP’s Economic Strengths
During the session, Chaudhary highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s strong economic fundamentals, citing the state’s robust logistics infrastructure, the largest network of expressways, multiple international airports, and an investor-centric regulatory framework.
He detailed several flagship policies including the Uttar Pradesh Fortune Global, India-500 Investment Promotion Policy 2023, the Global Capability Centres Policy, and the Electronics Manufacturing Policy, which collectively offer globally benchmarked incentives.
Chaudhary also pointed out that the state’s FDI policy—featuring up to 75% upfront land subsidy, capital expenditure support, and fiscal incentives—makes it the most competitive foreign investment regime in India.
Priority Sectors for Indo-German Collaboration
The discussions placed strong emphasis on industrial diversification, ease of doing business, and integrating supply chains across priority sectors such as:
Automotive & Mobility
Defence & Aerospace
Medical Technology & Biotechnology
Green Hydrogen & Renewable Energy
Chaudhary underlined that business roundtables, German trade fair participation, and structured dialogues could help unlock new avenues for Indo-German cooperation, while firmly positioning Uttar Pradesh as a regional manufacturing hub within global value chains.
Roadmap for Sustained Economic Diplomacy
Both sides agreed on creating an institutional framework for long-term engagement through virtual investor interactions, sector-specific delegation exchanges, and co-branding initiatives at international investment platforms.
As part of the roadmap, Invest UP will share sectoral investment dossiers, GIS-based land bank details, and customised policy briefs with the Embassy of India in Berlin to support targeted investor outreach in Germany.
