New Housing Projects to Launch Across 12 UP Districts Including Lucknow

The Uttar Pradesh government is set to launch new housing projects in 12 districts, including prominent cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, Jhansi, Bareilly, Agra, and Mathura.

These initiatives are part of the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision to boost urban development across the state. The housing projects, under the Mukhyamantri Urban Expansion/New City Promotion Scheme, will be rolled out in phases between June and December 2025. The cities covered by the scheme are set to see significant urban expansion, with new residential developments aimed at meeting the growing demand for housing in these regions. During a high-level meeting with the Housing and Urban Planning Department, Chief Minister Adityanath was briefed on the approved projects, which are expected to enhance infrastructure, housing availability, and overall urban planning in these districts. He stressed the importance of adhering to the timelines for project completion and maintaining quality standards.

Alongside the housing projects, Adityanath directed officials to expedite the approval process for pending building maps, which have been delayed due to repetitive objections. He emphasised that the process must be streamlined to resolve cases in a single instance and within a specified deadline. The Chief Minister also discussed the ongoing progress of metro projects in Uttar Pradesh. The 6.7 km underground section of the Kanpur Metro between Motijheel and Kanpur Central Station has been completed, with both Corridor 1 and 2 of the Kanpur Metro expected to be completed by the end of this year. The Agra Metro project’s first corridor is targeted for completion by December 2025, and the second corridor by 2026. In Lucknow, the metro project, covering a stretch from Charbagh to Basant Kunj, is progressing rapidly. Further, Adityanath reviewed the International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre project in Lucknow, which is being developed on 32.50 acres with an investment of Rs 900 crore. The project is expected to become a key landmark for New Lucknow and is slated for completion within two years.

In addition to these urban infrastructure projects, the state government is also inviting public suggestions for the draft of the Building Construction and Development Bylaws 2025 until May 30, 2025, with finalised bylaws set for implementation thereafter.
