Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) will conduct a recruitment drive in 2026 to fill more than 50,000 vacancies across multiple posts, including Technician Grade 2 (TG-2), Junior Engineer (JE), Assistant Engineer (AE), Accountant and Review Officer. The recruitment comes after a gap of six years. According to reports, over 73,000 posts are sanctioned across all categories in the UP Power Department, of which more than 50,000 are vacant. The vacancies include approximately 14,000 posts in Class 3 (TG-2, Accountant, RO) and around 24,000 posts in Class 4 (support staff). The online application process will be conducted on the official UPPCL website. The official notification PDF is expected by end of October 2026.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The recruitment drive ends a six-year hiring freeze in Uttar Pradesh’s power sector, where over 70,000 contractual or outsourced workers currently operate alongside only 25,000 to 27,000 regular employees. Filling 50,000 permanent posts could significantly reduce reliance on outsourced labour. Candidates should note that post-wise vacancy data for Class 1 and Class 2 positions is still being compiled, meaning the final figure may exceed 50,000 once those numbers are released. The official notification, expected by end of October 2026, will confirm registration dates and detailed eligibility criteria.
