PM gives big push to UP with launch of thermal projects
1 2 Times News Network Kanpur: PM Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 15 mega development projects, including those of thermal power, worth over Rs 47,000 crore in Kanpur. He inaugurated a 660-MW Panki thermal power extension project in Kanpur worth over Rs 8,300 crore and three 660-MW units of Ghatampur thermal power project worth over Rs 9,330 crore. The PM also inaugurated rail over bridges over Panki Power House Railway Crossing and over Panki Dham Crossing on Panki Road at Kalyanpur Panki Mandir in Kanpur. It will support the Panki Thermal Power Extension Project's logistics by facilitating coal and oil transport while also alleviating traffic congestion for the local population. These projects mark a historic milestone in the state's energy sector, setting the foundation for unprecedented growth in electricity production and distribution. They are expected to add 3,081 megawatts of additional electricity generation capacity, representing a 24.89% boost in the state's total power output. This expansion will strengthen UP's ability to meet its rising energy demands, particularly in the industrial, agricultural, and domestic sectors. UP is set to gain many benefits. The most important is the move towards becoming self-reliant in electricity production. The state's total power generation capacity has risen from 15,916MW in 2017 to 24,868MW, and by the end of this year, it is expected to reach 27,184MW. All new projects use supercritical technology, which generates more electricity using less coal. This significantly reduced carbon emissions and supported environmental protection. Of the electricity produced by the new projects, 75.11% will be used in UP and 24.89% will be supplied to Assam. This will not only earn the state income but also help balance energy distribution. Stronger power supply will directly help farmers, households, and industries. Modi inaugurated the new underground section of the Kanpur metro rail project worth over Rs 2,120 crore from Chunniganj to Kanpur Central. This section includes five new underground stations — Chunniganj, Bada Chauraha, Naveen Market, Nayaganj and Kanpur Central.

Kanpur node is key in UP Defence Corridor for indigenous manufacturing, says PM Modi
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the Kanpur node of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Corridor is crucial for indigenous manufacturing, weeks after defence minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a BrahMos manufacturing facility in Lucknow. The Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor is an initiative by the Centre and the UP government to boost defence manufacturing capacity in the country's most populous state. It has six nodes – Aligarh, Agra, Kanpur, Lucknow, Jhansi, and Chitrakoot. Modi was speaking in Kanpur during the inauguration of projects worth ₹ 47,600 crore, including thermal power plants, rail over bridges, and a sewage treatment plant. Uttar Pradesh will lead India's journey to becoming a major defence exporter, said Modi, highlighting that indigenously manufactured weapons had played a crucial part during Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor was India's retaliatory attack against terrorist targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir on 7 May following the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals. 'Operation Sindoor showcased India's indigenous defense capabilities and the strength of Make in India to the world," said PM Modi. The prime minister said Uttar Pradesh would become a hub for defence equipment manufacturing. The production of AK-203 rifles had already started in Amethi, and defence minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a BrahMos manufacturing facility on 11 May this year. The BrahMos missile played a significant part during Operation Sindoor, said Modi. He inaugurated a 660 MW Panki Thermal Power Extension Project in Kanpur worth over ₹ 8,300 crore and three 660 MW units of Ghatampur Thermal Power Project worth over ₹ 9,330 crore, according to a press statement. Among the projects inaugurated were rail over bridges over Panki Power House Railway Crossing and over Panki Dham Crossing on Panki Road at Kalyanpur Panki Mandir in Kanpur to support the Panki Thermal Power Extension Project's logistics by facilitating coal and oil transport. PM Modi also said that two essential pillars for the state's industrial progress are self-sufficiency in the energy sector—ensuring a steady power supply—and strong infrastructure and connectivity. The Prime Minister also reiterated India's three new principles in its fight against terrorism. First, India will deliver a decisive response to every terrorist attack, he said, adding that the timing, method, and conditions of this response will be determined solely by the Indian armed forces. Second, India will no longer be intimidated by nuclear threats, nor will it make decisions based on such warnings, he said. Third, India will view both the masterminds of terrorism and the governments that shelter them in the same light. The distinction between Pakistan's state and non-state actors will no longer be accepted, he said.
