Abstract: This paper investigates the regional disparity of industrial development in Uttar Pradesh by comparing key indicators across four regions—Western, Central, Eastern, and Bundelkhand—for the years 2001 and 2023. The study employs data-driven analysis to evaluate industrial concentration, productivity, employability, infrastructure, and investment. Results reveal persistent inequalities, with Western Uttar Pradesh leading on all fronts, while Bundelkhand remains underdeveloped. The findings highlight the importance of region-specific policy interventions and infrastructure investments to ensure equitable industrial growth across the state.
