The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi
identified power sector as a catalyst to transform and enable
an energy independent India. Under his visionary leadership,
the Government’s initiatives are unlocking India’s immense
potential and paving the path for an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.

The Prime Minister called for strengthening the power distribution system with the
determination to provide regular power supply to the hinterlands of India and light
every household. Earlier, as the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, his efforts enabled
the state to become energy surplus with enhanced distribution capabilities. It is a
matter of pride that the state continues this legacy.
The ‘Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited’ has successfully implemented an 8-hour
power supply scheme across the villages of Gujarat. The company continues to be
India’s leading power distribution company. Reliable and consistent power supply
plays a crucial role in the holistic development of agrarian areas like North Gujarat.
In addition, uninterrupted power supply is crucial for manufacturing industries,
commerce, and trading hubs. It is a significant factor in state’s flourishing businesses,
employment opportunities, and impacting the lives of million families.
To realize the vision of the Prime Minister, the company endeavors to strengthen
Gujarat’s energy ecosystem and prepare for an energy surplus India. The book
‘UGVCL: Peak of Success’ published by the state PSU offers insights on all the
activities and operations carried out by the company. It includes historical initiatives
of the company and guides its future strategies. The company recognizes and owes
its success to its strong and selflessly working staff who have done remarkable job
even during crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic and cyclones.

I wish all the very best to UGVCL for its future endeavors and trust it will continue its
journey to reach the pinnacle of success.
My heartiest congratulations to all staff of the company on their achievements so far.
