fter securing a historic consecutive term in office, the Yogi Adityanath government has revived its earlier proposal to hire a private consultant to help his government achieve a $1 trillion economy in the state in next five years.

On Tuesday, the Yogi government invited bids for this ambitious project, saying it wanted to boost its economy to the $1 trillion level by 2027. The bids will be opened next month. Yogi government’s idea is to contribute big to Narendra Modi government’s aim of making India a $5 trillion economy in the years to come.

The Uttar Pradesh GSDP is estimated to be at around Rs 21.73 lakh crore in 2021-22, translating to about $270 billion. So the target is to increase the economy’s size by nearly four times over the next five years. UP contributes 8% of the national GDP and the CM plans to align the state with the national target and play a leading role.
