CNH Breaks Ground on ₹1,219-Cr Tractor Plant in UP, Praises Yogi Govt
Uttar Pradesh’s rapid emergence as a premier manufacturing hub in northern India received a major global endorsement on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as agricultural and construction equipment powerhouse CNH officially broke ground on its new ₹1,219-crore greenfield tractor manufacturing facility in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region near Noida International Airport in Jewar. Speaking at the landmark ground-breaking ceremony alongside Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, CNH Chair Suzanne Heywood, and CNH CEO Gerrit Marx, CNH India Region President Narinder (Narendra) Mittal credited the Chief Minister’s decisive leadership and progressive industrial policies for transforming Uttar Pradesh into a magnet for global capital and advanced manufacturing.
Spanning 100 acres in Sector 8D of the YEIDA industrial corridor, the state-of-the-art plant—which manufactures globally renowned tractor brands New Holland and Case IH—is engineered to produce up to 100,000 (1 lakh) tractors annually upon reaching full scale. With its first phase slated to commence commercial operations by mid-2028, the facility represents a decisive vote of confidence in the state's infrastructure, expressway network, and investor-friendly governance across Greater Noida, Lucknow, Kanpur, and western Uttar Pradesh.
‘Visionary Leadership Created New Possibilities’: Narinder Mittal’s Tribute to CM Yogi
Addressing policymakers, industry executives, and local stakeholders gathered at the YEIDA site, Narinder Mittal emphasized that CNH’s decision to anchor its largest regional expansion in Uttar Pradesh was driven directly by institutional trust and policy stability. "The visionary leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the progressive policies of the state government have created an extraordinarily conducive environment for industrial investment in Uttar Pradesh," Mittal stated. "The Chief Minister’s personal encouragement, institutional support, and unwavering commitment to industrial development have unlocked fresh possibilities for capital investment, technological innovation, and manufacturing expansion across the state."
Expressing deep gratitude to the state administration for expediting land allotment and regulatory clearances—following the formal allotment handover in March 2026—Mittal noted that global corporations now view Uttar Pradesh not merely as a vast consumer market, but as a reliable export and engineering base. "The Uttar Pradesh government’s sustained support and confidence in CNH played a decisive role in turning this ₹1,219-crore blueprint into reality on the ground," he added.
Beyond Assembly Lines: AI Quality Checks, Green Tech, and 1,200 Direct Jobs
According to project specifications shared during the ceremony, the new YEIDA complex will integrate next-generation Industry 4.0 standards—deploying robotics, automated assembly lines, and AI-powered quality assurance systems alongside renewable energy, zero-liquid-discharge water recycling, and green logistics. Designed to complement CNH’s existing tractor and engine facility in Greater Noida and its harvesting equipment unit in Pune, the new plant will cater to both rising domestic agricultural mechanization demand and global export markets.
Highlighting the broader socio-economic ripple effects of the project, Mittal underscored that the facility will generate approximately 1,200 direct jobs alongside thousands of indirect employment opportunities across local MSME component suppliers, logistics operators, and technical service providers. "CNH’s investment is not confined to erecting a single manufacturing plant; it will deliver wide-ranging economic and industrial impact by strengthening the local vendor ecosystem and accelerating job creation," he remarked.
A Long-Term Partnership for a Prosperous Uttar Pradesh
Reaffirming CNH’s long-term commitment to India’s agricultural and industrial growth story, Mittal described the collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh government as a foundational milestone for the company’s global strategy. As Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath noted during the event that over ₹15 lakh crore worth of investment proposals have already materialized on the ground across the state, CNH’s ₹1,219-crore greenfield venture stands out as a flagship symbol of how streamlined governance and world-class connectivity are propelling Uttar Pradesh into the forefront of Indian manufacturing.
