Good to see our CM actively pitching UP on a global stage. Japan is known for quality and precision. If Mitsui invests, it could set a high benchmark for other companies. The medical devices park in YEIDA is a smart project to attract such firms.

Rs 1 lakh crore proposals sound impressive, but we've heard big numbers before. The real test is execution and creating a business-friendly environment that retains these investors. Law and order, stable policies, and ease of doing business are key.

As someone working in renewable energy, this is exciting news. UP has great potential for solar and wind. Japanese collaboration in this sector could bring in advanced technology and sustainable practices. Hope it focuses on creating a green industrial corridor.

Strengthening ties with Japan is always a win. They are long-term, reliable partners. The Dedicated Freight Corridor network is a game-changer for logistics. If Konoike Transport sets up here, it could revolutionize how goods move in North India. Solid move.

While attracting foreign investment is crucial, I hope the state government also ensures that local MSMEs and entrepreneurs are not sidelined. There should be a clear policy for technology transfer and creating ancillary units around these large projects to benefit local businesses.
