Power
The power generation in the state has increased manifolds since the BJP came to power and has contributed immensely to Uttar Pradesh infrastructure development. If we talk precisely about the state's power generation capacity has increased from 5,600 megawatts in 2016-17 to 8,688 megawatts. UP is also developing solar energy projects, including Ayodhya and Kashi as Solar Cities.

UP’s contribution to making India a 50 trillion dollar economy
On the occasion of the inauguration of the International Trade Show-2024 at India Expo Mart in Greater Noida, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that all the barriers to development are now ending in UP.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi, along with the campaign to make India's economy 50 trillion dollars, the state is rapidly moving towards making UP a 10 trillion dollar economy.
At the inauguration ceremony of the International Trade Show-2024, the CM said that this is the same UP, which was considered a barrier to the country's development 7 years ago but today it is being recognised as the engine of development.
Currently, 11 airports are operational in the state and soon 10 airports will be ready among other infrastructure development in UP. Uttar Pradesh is playing a leading role in realising the Prime Minister's self-reliant India. People travelling by road and rail are getting the best facilities.
It is also likely that the Ganga Expressway connecting the east to the west will be operational before the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh 2025. Before 2017, there were only a few units in the state. But now UP is the first state where 96 thousand units are of MSME. During this, Yogi especially met the delegation of Vietnam, the partner country of the event.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar praised CM Yogi and said that the country's largest state is flourishing under his dynamic rule. Adityanath is a game changer for this state and this is helping the country a lot.
Final Words
The major infrastructure developments in Uttar Pradesh are playing a crucial role in shaping India's future. With significant investments in transportation, airports, power generation, and rural development, the state is transforming into a key economic engine. Initiatives like the Ganga Expressway and the expansion of airports are enhancing connectivity and accessibility, while improved power generation supports growth. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh is poised to contribute significantly to India's goal of becoming a $50 trillion economy, showcasing its potential as a hub of development and opportunity for all.
