UPEIDA to develop e-way hubs on Purvanchal, Bundelkhand e-ways

Lucknow, May 5 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), as part of its goal to enhance connectivity and public amenities, has unveiled a blueprint for 12 premium e-hubs along the Purvanchal and Bundelkhand Expressways, with implementation set to begin soon, official sources said here on Monday.
Sources said in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision of transforming UP into a state with advanced infrastructure and civic amenities, the government is set to equip its expressways with world-class facilities.
"Known as India's 'Expressway State', UP is shedding its landlocked image by integrating modern technology, seamless connectivity and state-of-the-art public amenities," they said.
Sources said that as part of this vision, e-way hubs will be developed along the Purvanchal Expressway and Bundelkhand Expressway to provide travellers with premium facilities.
"UPEIDA recently presented a detailed blueprint for the construction of 12 e-way hubs in a review meeting with the Chief Secretary. Based on this, a comprehensive action plan has been finalised," they said.
Sources said that according to the action plan prepared by UPEIDA, 4 e-way hubs will be constructed and developed on the Bundelkhand Expressway, covering a total area of 40 hectares.
"E-way hubs are set to be developed in Banda, Hamirpur, and Jalaun along the Bundelkhand Expressway. In Banda, a 10-hectare hub will be built on the right side of the expressway, while in Hamirpur, another 10-hectare hub will be constructed on the left side. Jalaun will host two hubs, each spanning 10 hectares on both sides of the expressway," they said.
Sources said that as per UPEIDA's action plan, eight e-way hubs are slated for development along the Purvanchal Expressway, covering an area of 81.89 hectares. "E-way hubs will be developed across multiple locations on the Purvanchal Expressway, including 10 hectares in Barabanki, 10.12 hectares in Amethi, 10.10 hectares in Mau and 10.52 hectares in Ghazipur," they said.
Sources said that a key highlight of the UPEIDA's plan is the comprehensive blueprint for developing a wide range of modern facilities along both expressways. "These include petrol and CNG stations, EV charging points, commercial complexes, drinking water and sanitation blocks, food courts, retail outlets, budget hotels, theme parks and logistics hubs," they said.
Sources said that dedicated zones for industrial and commercial development are also planned. "Each E-way hub will be equipped with advanced CCTV surveillance systems to ensure seamless monitoring of the expressway and surrounding areas," they said.
