In a leg-up to the work on Noida International Airport, coming up in Jewar, 100% land acquisition for the project has been completed. The airport will come up over a sprawling 1,334 hectares of land.
Uttar Pradesh’s Minister for Industries and Infrastructure Development, Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, confirmed that the land acquisition work is complete and the testing of the airport would begin in March 2024 while it would be ready for use by October 2024.
Additional Chief Secretary, Industries, Arvind Kumar, said that the land acquired has been handed over to Zurich Airport International AG, the company developing the airport. “Besides handing over the land to the developer, necessary changes in the master plan and development plan have been made and approved,” Kumar said.
He said the best part about land acquisition was that it was done seamlessly within the deadline
