Uttar Pradesh is targeting ₹5 lakh crore in annual exports by 2030, up from around ₹2 lakh crore currently, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said at the UP International Trade Show 2026 in Greater Noida.

The export target is part of the state’s broader plan to become a $1 trillion economy. Goyal said stronger exports, higher investments and better access to global markets will support this objective.

He highlighted the growing opportunities for Uttar Pradesh businesses as India expands market access through Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). According to the minister, entrepreneurs in the state can benefit from improved access to international markets.

Uttar Pradesh is also strengthening its industrial infrastructure through expressways, modern airports and industrial parks. The state is expanding sectors such as defence, semiconductors, electronics and other technology-driven industries.

Goyal said the next phase of development will focus on increasing exports, attracting international investment, promoting tourism and building global recognition for products and brands from Uttar Pradesh.

The UP International Trade Show brought together international participants, partner countries, exhibitors, delegates and buyers. Buyer-seller meetings at the event provided opportunities for businesses to connect with overseas markets.

Goyal also called for greater coordination between the central and state governments, industry, citizens and youth to support Uttar Pradesh’s export growth and wider economic development.
