The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has launched the process to appoint a consultant for designing and managing infrastructure development of a Rs 4.5 billion electronics technology hub in Sector 10, close to the upcoming Noida International Airport.

Spanning 206 acres, the project is scheduled for completion by January 2028 and is expected to generate over 31,000 jobs—11,000 direct and 20,000 indirect. Its strategic location near the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, dedicated freight corridors, and the airport enhances its appeal to domestic and international electronics manufacturers.

Havells India will serve as the anchor unit, having been allotted 50 acres. The company will invest Rs 8 billion to set up a manufacturing plant for fans, air conditioners, switchgear, cables, and lighting products. The facility is expected to be operational by 2026 and will provide over 1,000 jobs in its first phase.

The Centre has sanctioned Rs 1.44 billion under the Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) 2.0 scheme, while YEIDA will fund the remaining Rs 3.4 billion. The remaining 156 acres comprise 66 industrial plots of various sizes and 39 acres earmarked for roads, utilities, and green zones.
