Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh ’s IT and IT-enabled services (ITeS) exports have crossed Rs 1 lakh crore for the first time, more than doubling over the past five years, according to figures released on Wednesday by the state’s IT and Electronics Department. Principal Secretary Alok Kumar said IT-ITeS exports from UP stood at Rs 1,01,970 crore in 2025-26, up from Rs 48,004 crore in 2020-21.
Officials said the milestone comes as the state works to broaden its technology base beyond established IT centres and generate more opportunities for its skilled workforce.
Exports from STPI units increased from Rs 25,642 crore in 2020-21 to Rs 52,778 crore in 2025-26, a rise of Rs 27,136 crore. The STPI segment logged a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5% during the period. SEZ-based IT-ITeS exports grew from Rs 22,362 crore to Rs 49,192 crore, marking an increase of Rs 26,830 crore. At 17.1%, the SEZ segment recorded a higher CAGR than STPI units.
Officials said the sustained rise in both channels indicates a gradual widening of the state’s technology ecosystem beyond traditional hubs, with govt aiming to attract more technology companies and strengthen UP’s position as an IT and ITeS destination. “The expansion of the IT-ITeS sector was expected to support further investment and create employment opportunities, particularly for technical and IT professionals in the state,” Kumar said. The export numbers were compiled from units registered with Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) and from special economic zone (SEZ) units operating in the state. The sector’s expansion is also visible in Lucknow, where companies such as IBM , Genpact and Teleperformance have established offices, contributing to the city’s emerging IT ecosystem.
