Noida, Mar 10 (KNN) Uttar Pradesh is emerging as a key manufacturing hub, said Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh during a significant corporate event in Greater Noida.

The event marked the foundation stone laying of an air conditioner plant and the inauguration of an injection molding unit by Haier India, a leading home appliances multinational.

The company is investing over Rs 1,000 crore between 2024 and 2028, creating approximately 3,500 jobs in the state.
