The Defence Corridor would get a total investment of Rs 200 billion. Both the flagship projects are being pushed up with the active cooperation of the Centre.

The government has identified 3000 hectares for the proposed corridor, which would span six districts in its catchment area viz. Aligarh, Agra, Jhansi, Kanpur, Lucknow and Chitrakoot.

This project is also being showcased by UP to global investors as a template for the state industrial development roadmap.
