He underscored the progress of six key nodes in the corridor, with the Lucknow node advancing towards the establishment of a BrahMos missile unit.

Additionally, Kanpur, Jhansi, and Aligarh are progressing at an accelerated pace, reinforcing the state's position as a defence manufacturing hub.

The session also explored the state's focus on industrial expansion along expressways, creating strategic economic belts to attract investments and boost job creation.

Participants lauded the government's proactive approach in fostering an investor-friendly environment, aligning with India's vision of self-reliance in defence and manufacturing.
