Hindustan Power has announced the commencement of its 435 MWp solar power project in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh. The announcement was made during the Clean Energy Summit 2025, themed ‘Uttar Pradesh – Powering a US$ 1 trillion Economy through Renewable Energy’. The summit was organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Northern Region, in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh New & Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA), at Hotel Hyatt, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.
The 435 MWp solar project represents a significant stride toward Uttar Pradesh’s renewable energy ambitions, contributing to the state’s target of achieving 22,000 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2026–27. Awarded by the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) through a transparent and competitive bidding process in April 2025, the project is poised to supply clean electricity to the state for the next 25 years.
In addition to enhancing energy security and reducing carbon emissions, the initiative is expected to generate local employment opportunities and promote sustainable development in the region.
Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power, said, “With the Lalitpur project office now open, our teams are eager to start, and we look forward to working with the local community as we move ahead with this solar initiative.”
“As we move forward, we remain dedicated to delivering reliable, green energy that not only powers homes and businesses but also helps build a cleaner, stronger future for generations to come,” Puri added.
With the project office now operational, Hindustan Power will commence mobilization activities, including site development, workforce engagement, and coordination with local and state-level stakeholders. The Lalitpur project is a critical component of Hindustan Power’s broader commitment to expanding its renewable energy footprint across India, reinforcing the company’s focus on timely execution and meaningful community partnerships.
The project also marks a step toward the company’s goal of achieving a 5 GW clean energy portfolio, further contributing to India’s transition to sustainable and resilient power infrastructure.
