Uttar Pradesh is set to create India's first solar-powered expressway, aiming for completion by 2026. The state government plans to establish solar parks along the 296 km Bundelkhand Expressway, generating between 450-550 megawatts of clean energy. This initiative is part of Uttar Pradesh's broader goal to generate 22,000 MW of solar power by 2026-27. The project underscores UP's commitment to sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy, with significant interest from both domestic and international firms to participate in this pioneering effort.
