Uttar Pradesh government gives ‘industry status’ to IT-ITES industry, here’s what the order means for IT companies

The Uttar Pradesh government has officially recognized the information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services (ITES) sector as an “Industry”. This new status allows IT companies in UP to acquire land at industrial rates from development authorities, aiming to make Noida more appealing to global tech giants. Additionally, new IT/ITES units consuming at least 150 kW of electricity will now benefit from industrial power tariffs.
