Tata Projects has announced that the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, is close to becoming operational, with final regulatory clearances currently in progress.

The company, which is executing the airport’s construction, confirmed that key approvals from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) — including safety and security checks and the aerodrome licence — are now underway.

“At this stage, it is more about regulatory approvals than construction. By and large, our work is ready for the Prime Minister to inaugurate,” said Vinayak Pai, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Projects, during a media interaction.

Pai added that the airport is expected to begin operations “in a short period of time,” signalling that commissioning is approaching its final phase.

Tata Projects aims to maintain its order book in the Rs 40,000 crore to Rs 43,000 crore range, supported by new business wins. The company has been expanding its presence in emerging sectors including semiconductor facilities, fourth-generation manufacturing, solar panel production and data centres.

Despite reporting a net loss of Rs 751 crore in the last financial year, Tata Projects continues to strengthen its portfolio as a technology-driven engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) player offering solutions for giga factories, advanced manufacturing and infrastructure.
