Over the past few years, Uttar Pradesh has undergone a remarkable transformation in its investment landscape. Through Invest UP and a robust state ecosystem, we have built world-class infrastructure — a strong network of seven operational expressways with six more coming up, an extensive railway grid, and one of the largest land banks in the country.

Particularly in the renewable energy space, we have developed a dedicated land pool of nearly 7,000 acres along expressways, ready for both greenfield projects and customised investments. This makes UP uniquely positioned to attract large-scale projects in solar and other clean energy sectors.

Driving Energy Investments

The state has created a comprehensive policy and incentive framework, benchmarked against the best in the country. This includes progressive policies in solar, biofuels, bioplastics, and green hydrogen. Today, we are witnessing record traction in renewable energy — with India’s largest bioplastic plant coming up in Uttar Pradesh and nearly 130 CBG plants already commissioned or in advanced stages.

This ecosystem is strengthened by abundant agricultural residue, municipal waste for feedstock, and a consumer base of 25 crore people — creating both backward and forward linkages for energy industries.

Seamless Investor Support

At Invest UP and UPNEDA, we have set up dedicated teams to support investors across all stages — from conceptualisation to ground-breaking, commercial operations, and even after-care services. Our Nivesh Mitra 3.0 platform will further streamline clearances, reduce documentation, and ensure smooth facilitation through robust backend process engineering.

Talent, Technology, and Industry Success Stories

UP also offers a strong talent pool with cost advantages and lower attrition, supported by technical and educational institutions across districts. This has already enabled success stories in solar cell manufacturing, electronics, data centers, and mobile phone manufacturing. Our aim is to replicate this momentum in renewable energy, making UP a leader in the sector.

A Call to Collaborate

The government is fully committed, with strong political will and bureaucratic support, to position Uttar Pradesh at the forefront of India’s clean energy future. Sectors like solar, biofuels, bioplastics, and green hydrogen remain top priorities, and we are continuously improving the ease of doing business for investors.

With your partnership, Uttar Pradesh can not only meet its rising energy demand but also emerge as the leading renewable energy hub of India.
