The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has approved the establishment of a 69.52-acre robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) park in Greater Noida to promote advanced manufacturing, technological innovation and investment. The project, known as the Proposed Platform for Robotics and AI Growth Through Technology and Innovation (PRAGATI) Park, is expected to generate over one lakh direct and indirect jobs and contribute approximately ₹2,000 crore annually to the state’s economy at full scale.

The park will be developed in two zones. An eight-acre zone will operate under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, while the remaining 61.52 acres will be developed by private enterprises for industrial units and related activities.

Planned facilities include robotics testing and certification centres, rapid prototyping facilities, AI computing infrastructure, motion-capture systems and data laboratories. These shared resources will help startups and businesses develop, test and certify products at affordable costs.

The initiative aims to strengthen domestic robotics manufacturing, reduce dependence on imports and support the development of globally competitive Indian technologies. It is also expected to create skill-development opportunities in AI, robotics and advanced manufacturing.
