His remarks in the state capital come two days after large-scale unrest in Noida, where thousands of factory workers, including women, struck work to demand a wage hike, among other things.
The protest had turned violent at places, leading to arson, stone pelting and vandalism.
Adityanath had earlier referred to a conspiracy angle behind the violence during the protest, which is currently under police investigation.
While speaking at a function marking the rollout and flagging off of the one-millionth bus from the Tata Motors plant in Lucknow on Wednesday, Adityanath described the occasion as a moment of pride after the company’s 34-year journey in the city.
“We must ensure that no outside elements are allowed to interfere in the internal matters of our factories or groups under any circumstances. ‘Bigaadne wale bahut aaenge, banaane wale kam milenge’ (Those who disrupt are many, but those who build are rare),” the CM told the audience, which comprised top officers of the company and its employees.
“One should remain thankful to institutions and organisations that provide employment opportunities, education for children and growth for the youth,” he said. Recalling the Tata Group’s contribution, he said it has helped thousands of families earn livelihood and supported the education and progress of their children.
“Because of such institutions, young people can build their careers, gain respect in society and maintain their identity,” Adityanath said.
He said, “The sense of gratitude is important, as it strengthens both individuals and society, and helps sustain long-term development and trust.”
The chief minister congratulated Tata employees for their contribution, noting that the buses manufactured at the plant would continue to improve public transport services.
The event was attended by Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran, Tata Motors Managing Director Girish Wagh, Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Minister Nand Gopal Gupta and Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh, among others.
Adityanath said the rollout of the one-millionth commercial vehicle was not just an industrial milestone but a reflection of India’s emergence and Uttar Pradesh’s readiness as a global manufacturing hub.
“This is not merely a milestone, but a moment that symbolises a new trajectory for a new India and a new Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
Highlighting the state’s demographic advantage, he said over 56 per cent of Uttar Pradesh’s workforce comprises youth. Efforts are underway to align them with skills, innovation and technology in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision.
He said improved infrastructure and connectivity in the state were accelerating industrial growth, citing the expansion of expressways and airports.
Uttar Pradesh now accounts for a significant share of India’s expressway network, with the commissioning of the Ganga Expressway, he added.
The chief minister said the Tata Group has earned public trust through quality and contribution to nation-building across sectors ranging from steel and automobiles to software and hospitality.
Recalling the contributions of the late Ratan Tata, he said the establishment of the Lucknow plant had generated employment for thousands.
Adityanath also highlighted the plant’s transition towards cleaner technologies, including CNG and electric vehicles, and appreciated efforts towards renewable energy use and water conservation.
He said strengthening public transport with electric vehicles could help bridge last-mile connectivity gaps and contribute to achieving net-zero emission targets.
Emphasising teamwork and integrity, the chief minister said trust built by organisations like the Tata Group plays a key role in economic growth and social progress.
