Uttar Pradesh just rolled out two big updates: the Startup Policy-2026 and Data Centre Policy-2026.
The goal? Spark more innovation, help young entrepreneurs, and create jobs, while pushing toward that $1 trillion economy dream.
Both policies bring in extra perks for tech and infrastructure growth.

Startups can now get a monthly allowance of ₹20,000 for two years, plus doubled prototype grants and seed funding.
Deep-tech ventures in AI or robotics could snag up to ₹30 lakh.
There's also a boost for incubators in Bundelkhand and Purvanchal with bigger grants to help local talent thrive.

The new policy aims to add 2 GW of data center capacity and attract over ₹2 lakh crore in investments.
Incentives include special benefits for Bundelkhand and Purvanchal, making Uttar Pradesh an even hotter spot for IT jobs and sustainable tech infrastructure.
