The Uttar Pradesh government has announced a ₹15,000 crore land acquisition programme to facilitate the construction of three new greenfield expressways across the state.
The Uttar Pradesh administration has unveiled a massive land acquisition scheme valued at ₹15,000 crore to clear the way for three greenfield expressways. The project is part of the state’s broader push to improve road connectivity and reduce travel time between major economic hubs.
According to officials, the acquired land will be used exclusively for the construction of the expressways, which are expected to boost logistics efficiency and attract investment in the region. The government has not disclosed the exact routes, but the expressways are slated to link key industrial and agricultural zones.
The ₹15,000 crore allocation underscores the scale of the undertaking, reflecting the state's commitment to modern infrastructure development. The acquisition process will follow statutory procedures, with compensation to landowners to be determined as per prevailing regulations.
State authorities anticipate that the new expressways will generate employment opportunities during the construction phase and contribute to long‑term economic growth once operational.
