Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has signed a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Hindustan Power to buy power from a 435 MW DC solar PV project built in that state.

This is an enormous step towards Uttar Pradesh reaching its target of 22,000 MW of renewables by 2026–27. The project was awarded after a competitive bidding process in April 2025 and will supply clean energy to Uttar Pradesh for 25 years.

Hindustan Power has already initiated site activities at the location, including the opening of its site office, stakeholder engagement, workforce deployment, and early works on site. The initiative is predicted to provide local employment and add to local development.
