Uttar Pradesh projected its green, modern and technology-driven transport model on a national stage at the Green Transport Conclave in New Delhi, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable mobility and future-ready infrastructure.
At the two-day event, Manoj Kumar Singh, Chief Executive Officer of the State Transformation Commission (STC), outlined the state’s strategy for clean transport systems, advanced logistics networks and environmentally sustainable growth. He said Uttar Pradesh was setting new benchmarks in green transportation through large-scale reforms and infrastructure expansion.
The conclave, titled “Green Transport Conclave: Accelerating Towards the Future of Sustainable and Green Mobility,” was organised by the Indian Federation of Green Energy. It brought together policymakers, transport experts, investors, industry representatives and senior officials from across the country.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari inaugurated the event, which featured discussions on automobiles, railways, marine transport, aviation, electric mobility, biofuels, long-distance freight systems, urban transport and energy transition.
During his presentation, Singh said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh was emerging not only as India’s most populous state but also as a major centre of economic expansion. He stressed that rapid and balanced growth required a transport system that was green, safe, efficient and driven by modern technology.
He highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s progress in expressway development, citing projects such as the Purvanchal Expressway, Bundelkhand Expressway, Ganga Expressway and Agra-Lucknow Expressway. According to Singh, these projects have reduced travel time, lowered fuel consumption, improved freight efficiency and supported industrial investment.
The state is also accelerating efforts in multimodal connectivity, electric mobility, e-buses, charging infrastructure and cleaner public transport systems.
Singh added that Uttar Pradesh was making strong progress in alternative fuels including ethanol, biogas, compressed biogas (CBG) and energy derived from agricultural waste.
He said future transport systems would increasingly rely on technologies such as artificial intelligence, smart traffic management, digital tolling and real-time monitoring, and that the state was committed to adopting such innovations to improve public services.
Singh concluded that green transport, efficient logistics and sustainable infrastructure would play a central role in achieving the vision of Developed Uttar Pradesh 2047 and supporting the state’s ambition of becoming a trillion-dollar economy.
