With several agreements signed between Uttar Pradesh departments and private players at a global investors’ summit in Lucknow last month, the focus has now shifted to getting work done on the ground.
To this end, the state government has written to 28 departments, including Noida and Greater Noida, making it clear that within the next six months, land must be allotted and construction should have begun on the projects.
