Uttar Pradesh sets Rs 5 lakh crore export goal for 2030, says Piyush Goyal

Uttar Pradesh announced an ambitious target to generate exports worth Rs 5 lakh crore by the end of the decade. Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal conveyed the goal during a recent briefing, emphasizing the state's growing manufacturing base and its strategic location.
The target aligns with the central government's push to boost India's overall export performance and is expected to attract greater private investment in sectors such as textiles, agro‑processing, and engineering goods.
State officials said the plan will be supported by infrastructure upgrades, streamlined customs procedures, and incentives for exporters. They also highlighted ongoing efforts to improve logistics corridors linking the state to major ports.
If achieved, the Rs 5 lakh crore figure would place Uttar Pradesh among the top export‑generating states in the country, contributing significantly to national foreign‑exchange earnings.
The announcement comes as the state prepares its next five‑year industrial strategy, which will detail specific measures to meet the export ambition.
