Hinduja Global Solutions Limited has partnered with the Uttar Pradesh Government to launch Project GANGA, a state-wide digital inclusion initiative aimed at connecting over 20 lakh households with high-speed broadband. The project, formally flagged off by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Shri. Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow on June 9, 2026, seeks to establish a robust digital backbone across the state within the next 2–3 years. Broadband services under this initiative will be offered under the brand name "Ganga Fiber".

The launch follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed in March 2026 between the State Transformation Commission of the Government of Uttar Pradesh and OneOTT Entertainment Limited (OIL), the broadband vertical of hinduja global solutions . The project is designed to foster social upliftment by developing up to 10,000 local entrepreneurs at the Nyaya Panchayat level into Digital Service Providers (DSPs). These entrepreneurs will be responsible for delivering last-mile connectivity and digital services in their respective regions.

Employment and Entrepreneurship

Project GANGA is expected to generate over 100,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities across the state, with a strong emphasis on youth empowerment and the participation of women entrepreneurs. The initiative aligns with the state government's budget announcement for 2026-27 to create 8,000–10,000 digital entrepreneurs, targeting 50% participation by women. DSP partners will receive support through structured onboarding, training, and financing assistance under the CM-YUVA scheme.

Strategic Infrastructure and Support

The implementation leverages the execution capabilities of OIL, supported by the national digital infrastructure footprint of HGS and NXTDIGITAL. Together, these entities currently connect more than 5 million homes across India, operating in over 4,500 pin codes spanning 1,500 cities and towns. The network relies on over 2 lakh kilometres of fibre infrastructure and a network of 15,000+ franchise partners.

Project Overview

The Project Ganga portal is now live, enabling citizens to apply and participate in the initiative. The project is aligned with the broader digital vision of the Uttar Pradesh Government to expand access to education, healthcare, and governance services through reliable broadband infrastructure.
