26 Feb 2026 CW Team

The integrated cargo campus is expected to position Jewar as a major air freight and logistics hub for north India, strengthening export and import activity across electronics, pharmaceuticals and agricultural products. The facility will leverage the airport's planned multi modal connectivity, including road and rail links, to streamline supply chains and enhance international trade linkages. Officials said the campus is designed to support cold chain requirements and specialised handling to meet sectoral standards.

The air catering unit will supply in flight meals for services operating from Jewar as well as for multiple airports across northern India, supporting crew and passenger demands and improving regional service capacity. The project is expected to stimulate the regional food processing sector and related logistics, creating substantial direct and indirect employment opportunities in manufacturing, distribution and ancillary services. Officials indicated that the unit will adopt modern hygiene and quality protocols to meet airline specifications.

The state government presented the agreement as part of a broader push to showcase infrastructure growth and investment potential overseas, with the chief minister engaging investors during the mission. Officials described the memorandum as a significant step for the aviation, logistics and services sectors and said the developments will contribute to enhancing north India's economic landscape once the airport becomes operational. The projects are anticipated to support long term trade connectivity and regional development.
