Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday visited the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show-2025 (UPITS-2025) in Greater Noida, Gautam Buddha Nagar district.

Envisioned under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, UPITS-2025 showcases Uttar Pradesh’s industrial, agricultural, cultural, and technological strengths on a global platform.

A major highlight is the One District One Product (ODOP) Pavilion in Hall No. 9, featuring 343 stalls dedicated to signature products from each district, including Bhadohi carpets, Firozabad glasswork, Moradabad metalware, and Saharanpur woodcraft. The pavilion is designed to facilitate networking, business collaborations, and partnerships for startups and designers.
The trade show will also host the Russia-India Business Dialogue on September 26, bringing together policymakers, industrialists, financial institutions, and academia to strengthen economic cooperation and explore technological partnerships and joint ventures. The IT and Electronics Department will showcase a live AI model in a 200-square-meter pavilion equipped with modern amenities, including a curved LED wall, smart video displays, a VIP lounge, and a dedicated startup zone.
Visitors will enjoy traditional delicacies such as Moradabadi dal, Banarasi paan, Mathura peda, and Khurja’s khurchan, alongside cultural performances of Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Bundeli, and Tharu folk traditions, Sufi music, and Kathak recitals.
