Uttar Pradesh is the only top-10 state without a single primate city. Lucknow leads at 19% of state stores, Noida at 18%, Ghaziabad at 15% - a three-way split unlike any other major state. This report maps every one of UP's 498 dark stores across 51 cities, separates the NCR-extension cities (Noida, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida) from central UP (Lucknow, Kanpur) and the broader tier-2 belt (Varanasi, Prayagraj, Meerut, Agra, Bareilly), and identifies the 8 cities above 200,000 people where platforms have yet to commit capital.
