As per an official statement, the industrialists exuded confidence in Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's leadership and described UP as the most reliable state for investors.

The UP government has created a good environment for investment by facilitating infrastructure such as highways, expressways, and rail traffic, in addition to making the state crime-free. Today UP has become a hub of investment because of its transparent policies, reforms, and strict law and order. Uttar Pradesh has become the centre of hope for a new India."
He added: "The golden era of UP has begun. Both industry and cooperation are needed for the development of the state. UP is becoming an 'enterprise state' by imbibing the mantra of PM Modi, 'Reform, Perform and Transform.' There is greater harmony between rural and urban India in UP. In order for India to become a $5 trillion economy, UP must become a $1 trillion economy state. The state is progressing toward this goal under the leadership of CM Yogi".

Due to his cooperation, the Noida International Airport is able to take shape. Noida International Airport is the best example of a private-public partnership. This airport will provide new opportunities for the state's development and will also be crucial in the development of western UP".
Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran, said: "There is immense potential for development in UP. The agriculture and manufacturing sectors are expected to grow in tandem in UP.
