  • Nodal Agency: The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA)
  • Cities covered under UP DIC: Planned across 6 nodes namely – Lucknow, Kanpur, Jhansi, Agra Aligarh, Chitrakoot, which spreads across Central, East, West region of Uttar Pradesh and along the Golden Quadrilateral connecting Delhi – Kolkata supported by networks of expressways as under:
    • Yamuna Expressway

    • Purvanchal Expressway
    • Bundelkhand Expressway
    • Gorakhpur Link Expressway
    • Ganga Expressway

  • The state also intends to establish Common Facility Centres (CFC), Centres of Excellence (CoE) and Skill Development Centres to facilitate in providing best practices, research and development and skill development. 
  • Hence, the envisaged corridor not only targets the setting up of manufacturing hubs but also aims at generating employment opportunities to cater to the most populous state in the country.

Bundelkhand area

  • It is a geographical and cultural region and also a mountain range in central & North India. 
  • The hilly region is now divided between the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, with the larger portion lying in the latter state
  • As understood by the state governments of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Madhya Pradesh (MP), ‘Bundelkhand’ comprises seven districts of southern UP and six districts of northern MP:
    • Jhansi, Lalitpur, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Banda, Chitrakoot districts (all in UP), and
    • Datia, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Panna, Sagar and Damoh districts (all in MP).
