To fund infrastructure projects in the state like Lucknow Metro, Agra-Lucknow Expressway and rural electrification, the Uttar Pradesh government on December 10 tabled the current year’s second supplementary budget of Rs 3,619.76 crore. In last September, the State government had tabled the first supplementary budget worth Rs 7,112.39 crore.
The government has allocated Rs 450 core for Lucknow-Agra Expressway and Rs 900 crore for Rajiv Gandhi Rural Electrification Project in the second supplementary budget. Earlier, the government had planned to get the expressway constructed on the PPP model.
As the government failed to get expected response it has decided to get it constructed through on its own.
