14 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has announced plans to develop a new city near the upcoming Noida International Airport. This ambitious project will involve acquiring over 6000 hectares of land to accommodate residential, commercial, and industrial developments, positioning it as a significant urban expansion initiative in the region.

The proposed new city aims to cater to the increasing demand for housing and infrastructure in the vicinity of the Noida airport. YEIDA intends to create a sustainable urban ecosystem with modern amenities, efficient transport networks, and robust infrastructure to support its growth.

The development is strategically located along the Yamuna Expressway, which connects Greater Noida with Agra and is expected to enhance connectivity and accessibility for residents and businesses alike. The proximity to the Noida International Airport is anticipated to attract investments and spur economic development in the area.

YEIDA has initiated the process of land acquisition for the new city, emphasising transparency and equitable compensation for landowners. The authority aims to create a model urban centre that adheres to environmental sustainability principles while meeting the burgeoning demands of urbanisation.

The project is part of YEIDA's long-term vision to transform the region into a vibrant economic hub with world-class infrastructure and amenities. As plans progress, YEIDA is expected to engage stakeholders, including developers and urban planners, to ensure comprehensive planning and execution of this ambitious urban development initiative.
