Lucknow’s power infrastructure set for revamp

Managing director of Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (MVVNL), Suryapal Gangwar said on Sunday that power infrastructure in Lucknow would be revamped and upgraded.

“Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh (UP) is gearing up to meet the rising demands of a fast-expanding city. The state capital set to witness huge changes due to the upcoming Defence Corridor project and expansion of city once the outer ring road project is completed,” Gangwar said.

“The power consumption in the state capital is increasing at the rate of 12% per annum and going by this rate the power demand will be more than tripled and hence we would need infrastructure that is good enough to tackle the fresh demand for next 25 years,”
