26 Feb 2026 CW Team

The Uttar Pradesh government signed a memorandum of understanding with AISATS for an investment of Rs 44.58 billion (bn) in two major aviation service projects at Noida International Airport in Jewar. The agreement was signed during the chief minister's visit to Singapore as part of efforts to attract global capital to the state. Officials described the pact as a significant investment outcome of the visit.

The company will develop an advanced cargo campus and a world-class air catering kitchen at the airport in Gautam Buddh Nagar district. The integrated cargo campus is designed to position Jewar as a major air freight and logistics hub for north India. The catering facility will serve in-flight meal requirements for flights operating from Jewar and for other airports across northern India.

Officials said the cargo campus will facilitate export and import activities across sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals and agricultural products. The facility will make use of the airport's planned multi-modal connectivity to strengthen international trade linkages. The project is expected to support logistics operators and cold chain providers serving manufacturers and exporters in the region.

The air catering unit is expected to boost the regional food processing and supply chain ecosystem by creating demand for local suppliers and processors. Authorities indicated that both projects will generate significant direct and indirect employment opportunities during construction and operations. The facilities are being planned to meet regulatory and quality standards for aviation services.

Officials said the agreement represents a major step forward for the aviation, logistics and services sectors in the state. They added that the projects would contribute to enhancing north India's economic landscape once the airport becomes operational. The state government will continue to promote infrastructure projects to attract further investment.
