Apart from this, Kent RO systems Limited invested Rs 300 crore in Noida and PTC Industries Limted invested Rs 205 crore in Lucknow, and MM Forgings invested Rs 150 crore in Barabanki.

"Some of the compes that invested in electronic manufacturing are World Trade Centre, Vivo Mobiles, OPPO Mobiles India Private Limited, Holitech India Private Limited, Sunvoda Electronic India Private Limited, etc.," he said.

He said that textile sector also bore good results due to policy changes. In this sector, four compes invested Rs 6,320 crore. Due to these investments, Kanpur has emerged as a big textile hub. The proposal to make Gorakhpur a textile hub has also got the green signal.

He said all this became possible due to the war-level efforts by the chief minister Yogi.
