Central PSUs pledge ₹2 trillion for Uttar Pradesh’s thermal and clean energy sector

Central public sector undertakings have jointly pledged to invest about ₹2 trillion in Uttar Pradesh’s energy infrastructure. The commitment, reported by Business Standard, targets both conventional thermal power generation and emerging clean‑energy initiatives.
The pledged funds will be channelled into expanding existing thermal plants, setting up new capacity, and accelerating renewable projects such as solar and wind farms. By pooling resources, the central PSUs aim to address the state’s growing electricity demand while supporting India’s broader decarbonisation goals.
State officials expect the infusion to create substantial employment opportunities and attract ancillary industries. The investment also aligns with the central government’s push for a balanced energy mix, enhancing grid reliability and reducing carbon intensity across the region.
Implementation details, including project timelines and specific PSU participation, are being finalised in coordination with the Uttar Pradesh government.
