31 Jan 2024 CW Team

Jewar, a burgeoning hub on the outskirts of Delhi, is poised for a transformative metamorphosis with the acquisition of 5,000 hectares near its airport. This strategic move signals a monumental shift, opening vistas for extensive industrial and residential development. The government's ambitious plan aims to leverage the proximity to the airport, fostering economic growth and urban expansion.

This colossal undertaking aligns with Jewar's aspirations to emerge as a prominent player on the national stage. The convergence of industrial and residential development is a testament to the holistic vision driving this initiative
