According to CEO Christoph Schnellmann, the goal of the Noida International Airport's development is to make it the nation's premier greenfield airport while upholding the net-zero emissions principle. The airport is being built across 5,000 hectares in four phases, the first of which is almost finished and covers 1,300 hectares. By the end of this year, this new facility in the Jewar region of the Gautam Buddh Nagar district?roughly 75 km from Delhi?should be operational. The selection of the airport's construction partners, concessionaires, and planning and design teams was based in large part on sustainability and low environmental effects. A number of sustainability measures are also being implemented by the Noida International Airport, including the use of renewable energy, the installation of rainwater collection systems, and the establishment of on-site sewage treatment and waste management facilities. Furthermore, the airport is utilising electric ground support equipment in an effort to further reduce its carbon footprint. Another important benefit of the Noida International Airport is its cost-effectiveness. It was previously believed that the airport would provide significant cost reductions for visitors, with tickets perhaps costing as little as ~1,500 less than at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI). The primary cause of this cost savings is the variation in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) weight fees, which Uttar Pradesh imposes. Christoph emphasised that the airport site has an eight-acre forest reserve set out for the purpose of protecting native species. To guarantee that there is no net loss of biodiversity, over 580 trees, including neem, mango, shisham, jand, lasora, pipal, and banyan, have been transplanted at the building site in accordance with scientific standards. The airport's ambition to be a net-zero carbon emission facility is another proof of its commitment to sustainability. A total of 133 hectares of land have been set aside as designated green spaces in addition to the forest reserve. Scientific procedures and organic manure are being used in the transplanting of local trees. The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor has used cutting-edge technology from Nanogence Catalyst, a proprietary smart activator that improves cementitious material's binding efficiency and lowers carbon emissions while delivering excellent material performance.
