Posting on X, the Chief Minister contrasted Jewar's past with its present, saying the area where bullets once flew, once counted among the most notorious in the country for crime, is today becoming India's jewel and establishing itself as a leading destination for investment. The plant site sits in the corridor emerging around the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar.

Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh had received investment proposals worth over Rs 50 lakh crore in the last nine and a half years, of which projects worth more than Rs 15 lakh crore had moved to the groundbreaking and implementation stages, and that the 25,000-hectare YEIDA region was being developed as an industrial, economic and logistics hub. The ceremony marks the start of construction; the plant's production timeline and confirmed job numbers are yet to be officially announced.
