The Uttar Pradesh Government has decided to set up five biofuel projects in the State, Governor Ram Naik said on Tuesday.
The projects will involve an investment of Rs. 1,700 crore. “The projects are expected to be set up in five districts — Sitapur, Hapur, Meerut, Bareilly and Muzaffarnagar,” he said addressing the valedictory session of the 13th edition of Petrotech here.
He said the projects will help boost the profile of renewals and biofuels. Uttar Pradesh has the largest population in India with Rs. 22.7 crore and with the exception of the US, China and Indonesia, more populous than several European countries combined.
