Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is visiting Mumbai, listed the 200 million rupee Lucknow Municipal Corporation bond on the Bombay Stock Exchange on Wednesday morning. Later, he plans to meet prominent people from the film and industrial industries to seek investment in the northern state.
Lucknow now becomes the ninth city in India to have raised municipal bonds and the first city to issue such a bond after the launch of the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) program.
Adityanath arrived in the business and entertainment capital on Tuesday night and met actor Akshay Kumar at a hotel in South Mumbai for dinner. On Wednesday, he is expected to meet with filmmakers and studio directors at the hotel and discuss the UP government’s plan to establish a film city in Noida.

The CM will meet with industry and film personalities from 10:30 to 14:00. He is expected to speak to the press afterward, said a senior UP official accompanying him in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, ahead of Adityanath’s visit to Mumbai, Maharashtra Prime Minister Uddhav Thackeray said Tuesday that he will not allow anyone “by force” to take business from the state.
“We are not jealous if someone progresses, we have no problem with someone progressing if one competes. But if they are going to take something by force, then of course I will not let it happen and you (industrialists) will not be willing to go, ”Thackeray said at an event organized by the IMC Chamber of Commerce in Mumbai.
