Focusing on data centres and renewable energy is the right move for the future. Singapore's expertise in sustainable urban development can be a great model for UP's growing cities. Good to see the focus on the CSP roadmap.

Meetings and MOUs are one thing, but actual ground-level execution is another. We've seen many such announcements before. I sincerely hope this translates into real, timely projects that benefit the common person in UP, not just remain on paper.

Industrial parks and logistics hubs can transform UP into a manufacturing powerhouse. If Singapore invests, it will bring global standards of efficiency. This could be big for the state's economy. Bhagidari achi hai!

While attracting foreign investment is good, we must ensure that the terms are favourable for India and that local businesses and workers also get opportunities. The "fast track clearances" should not mean bypassing environmental or labour norms.

Singapore's model of urban planning is world-class. If even a fraction of that knowledge and investment comes to cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, or Prayagraj, it would be amazing. Hope the focus on 'sustainable' development is genuine and not just a buzzword.
