Uttar Pradesh moving towards self-reliance in power sector: Yogi Adityanath

Sustained efforts by the Uttar Pradesh government in the four years have pushed the power sector in the state towards self-reliance with a quantum jump in the transmission capacity, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said here on Saturday. Underlining that the self-reliance in the power sector is necessary for an “atmanirbhar UP”, Adityanath said his government had inherited a power infrastructure that was in a shambles.

“But during the past four years, the transmission capacity alone has seen an augmentation of 53 per cent. The state has moved towards self-reliance in the power sector even as the load capacity in transmission reached to 25000 MW,” the CM said.
