This ambitious project is poised to become a key driver of industrial growth, enhancing connectivity and fostering economic development in the region.

The initiative aligns with broader efforts to boost manufacturing and trade, leveraging the strategic location of the Yamuna Expressway. The inclusion of four SEZs within the manufacturing hub emphasises its potential to attract businesses and promote economic activities by providing a conducive environment for trade and commerce.
