UP CM Reviews Data Centre Cluster Plan to Develop Lucknow as AI City

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reviewed key initiatives including the Uttar Pradesh Data Centre Cluster (UPDCC), Project Ganga, and wheat-processing incentives. He emphasized expanding the UPDCC beyond the NCR region, proposing Lucknow as an AI City with involvement from major tech firms like Tata Group. The UPDCC aims to establish Uttar Pradesh as a leading AI compute hub with targets of a $5 trillion economy, 1.5 lakh jobs, and a 5-gigawatt AI compute corridor by 2040. The state’s strategic location, technical talent, and infrastructure support this long-term vision.
