Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show In Greater Noida Set To Host Over 2,500 Exhibitors, 500 Foreign Buyers & More Than Half A Million Visitors
Noida: The Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS 2025), commencing Thursday in Greater Noida, is set to host over 2,500 exhibitors, 500 foreign buyers, and attract more than half a million visitors. The third edition of UPITS 2025 will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the India Expo Mart in Greater Noida. The event is scheduled to conclude on September 29.
State Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ stated that the trade show has become a significant platform for showcasing the skills and entrepreneurship of people across Uttar Pradesh. “Since the curtain raiser of the first edition, the trade show has provided a strong platform to talented individuals from villages, porters, and participants of the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme. It has displayed Uttar Pradesh’s capabilities to the entire world,” he told reporters.
He added that the previous edition witnessed exhibitors securing business orders for up to three years ahead. “This is proof that UP is firmly on the path to becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy,” Nandi said, emphasizing that the show reflects the state’s transformation under the current government.
“In earlier times, Uttar Pradesh was mocked and called a BIMARU state or ‘Ulta Pradesh.’ But in the past 11 years, we have changed that image. Today, we are organizing trade shows and global investor summits that attract attention from across the world,” he noted.
Cabinet Minister for MSME Rakesh Sachan highlighted that Uttar Pradesh is the first state in the country to provide such a comprehensive platform for small entrepreneurs, including MSMEs, ODOP participants, and artisans. “The first edition of the trade show in 2023 attracted visitors from over 70 countries, 70,000 visitors, 1.37 lakh B2B participants, and over two lakh B2C participants. This year, participation is expected to be even bigger, with representatives from more than 80 countries, including Russia as a partner country,” he said.
Sachan also pointed out that UP has 96 lakh MSMEs, which form the backbone of its economy. “Around 2,200 stalls have been set up for MSMEs across the venue. Stalls for various government departments, including health and agriculture, are also part of the show. For the first time, the Social Welfare Department is participating to present a glimpse of inclusive development,” he added.
Minister of State for Social Welfare (Independent Charge) Asim Arun mentioned that 20 students—10 boys and 10 girls—from Jai Prakash Narayan Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, run by the department, have been selected to attend the event. “SC/ST entrepreneurs who received assistance from the department for setting up their enterprises have also been invited. The stall will showcase the vision of a developed and inclusive India,” he said.
For smooth conduct of the event, Gautam Buddh Nagar Traffic Police has issued an advisory restricting the entry of heavy, medium, and light goods vehicles on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and nearby roads from September 24 to 29, between 7 am and 11 pm. Essential goods carriers and medical vehicles will be exempted from this restriction.
Additionally, authorities have announced a 24-hour ban on flying drones, balloons, remote-controlled microlight aircraft, and paragliders in the area for security reasons. This ban will be effective from midnight Wednesday until midnight Thursday.
