Yeida to acquire land from GB Nagar and Bulandshahr

24 Oct 2024 CW Team

It was mentioned that land would be acquired from Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts to develop 13 new industrial sectors, primarily focused on warehousing and logistics. Yeida is said to be in the process of preparing a land acquisition proposal for the development of this required infrastructure.

Both the freight corridor and the commuter road are expected to be 100 metres wide, featuring four to six lanes, and will run parallel to the railway line between the airport and Chola station. Officials indicated that the approval of the Master Plan 2041 had accelerated the land acquisition process, which would significantly improve connectivity between Bulandshahr and nearby districts.

It was further noted by Yeida officials that a plan is already in place to connect the airport to the railway line running from Rundhi in Palwal to Chola station on the Delhi-Howrah line. This new railway line would reportedly link the Howrah-New Delhi main line near Chola station and the Chennai/Mumbai-Delhi main line near Rundhi station, facilitating train movement in both directions from Jewar airport.

In addition, 55 villages in Bulandshahr have reportedly been incorporated into the Master Plan 2041, extending Yeida's jurisdiction to the Delhi-Howrah railway route. These villages are set to be developed into new industrial sectors, connected by both road and rail infrastructure.

Arun Vir Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Yeida, is said to have commented that the development of the expressway and other infrastructure projects are intended to connect the airport with the railway station. It was noted that the Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR), also known as New Noida, would benefit from these transport links, along with other nearby cities, which would gain enhanced connectivity to both the airport and the proposed international film city.

Yeida reportedly confirmed that a decision had been made to upgrade Chola railway station into a model hub, with the authority itself funding the redevelopment. A proposal for this has already been submitted to the Railways Ministry

Several projects, including a 16km long dedicated freight corridor connecting the airport to Chola railway station in Bulandshahr, a parallel commuter road alongside new industrial sectors, and a freight corridor through the middle of these sectors, are reportedly underway. According to officials from the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida), these infrastructure initiatives are essential for improving passenger and cargo connectivity, linking the airport to nearby cities.
