The Uttar Pradesh Government has intensified efforts to fast-track 95 major infrastructure projects across 20 key departments. Valued at Rs 18,767 crore, these projects form a crucial part of the state’s broader vision to transform Uttar Pradesh into a modern, future-ready “Uttam Pradesh.”
A comprehensive action plan has been prepared by the Public Works Department (PWD), which will supervise these developments through its Building Cell. The projects include both residential and non-residential infrastructure, such as administrative buildings, departmental offices and Government staff quarters. Among the various departments, the Home Department has received the highest allocation. It is undertaking 35 infrastructure projects worth Rs 6,550 crore. Of these, two have already been completed, and twelve others are nearing completion, showing progress between 76 per cent and 99 per cent.
The Medical Education Department follows closely, with 21 projects estimated at Rs 5,357 crore. Nine of these projects have already been completed, while six are in advanced stages, with one more currently progressing between 51 per cent and 75 per cent completion.
The Higher Education Department is implementing six construction projects valued at Rs 773 crore. The Prison Department is also witnessing significant development with seven projects worth Rs 1,334 crore. Four of these prison-related projects are currently between 26 per cent and 50 per cent complete. Other departments are also seeing notable investments. The Law Department is executing three projects at a cost of Rs 1,227 crore. The Medical Health and Family Welfare Department has three projects underway, costing Rs 312 crore.
The Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises is managing three projects worth Rs 324 crore. The Minority Welfare Department is completing two projects at a cost of Rs 229 crore.
Similarly, two projects each are being implemented by the Revenue and Disaster Department (Rs 350 crore), the Labor Department (Rs 149 crore), and the Rajya Sampatti Vibhag (Rs 182 crore).
In addition to these, several departments have one major infrastructure project each. These include Rs 267 crore for the AYUSH Department, Rs 153 crore for the Secondary Education Department, Rs 388 crore for the Sports Department, Rs 103 crore for the Civil Aviation Department, Rs 95 crore for the Appointments and Personnel Department, Rs 187 crore for the Finance Department, Rs 277 crore for the Animal Husbandry Department, Rs 434 crore for the Agriculture Education and Research Department and Rs 65 crore for the Religious Works Department.

Notably, 17 projects have been successfully completed — many within record time — demonstrating the Government’s emphasis on timely execution. A senior official from the PWD remarked that the government is working round-the-clock to complete these initiatives under the direct supervision of the Chief Minister.
He noted that these projects would significantly enhance administrative capabilities, public services and overall infrastructure strength across the state, driving inclusive and efficient governance.
The state has undertaken 95 major projects worth Rs 18,767 crore across 20 departments. Among these, 26 projects are nearing completion, 10 are halfway through, and 17 have already been delivered.
