26 May 2021 CW Team

A warehousing and logistics hub could be set up in Tappal Bajna, around 7 km away from Jewar International Airport, if Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) goes ahead with its proposal for the hub under its Master Plan Phase-2. This could be the region’s largest warehousing and logistics hub on completion.

YEIDA has proposed the logistics and warehousing hub in Tappal Bajna Urban Centre under its Master Plan Phase-2. The authority has appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India for preparing the feasibility study-cum-detailed project report (DPR) of the proposed logistics and warehousing hub in the area. A preliminary report submitted by consultant Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India engaged in preparing the feasibility study, and the DPR has recommended rail connectivity of the hub, proposed across 465 hectares, with the Delhi-Palwal route.

With the submission of the inception report, the consultant has also recommended that the logistics and warehousing hub be well connected through road and rail. The report suggests connecting this hub with the Delhi-Palwal railroad, with 16km of track laid for the purpose.

While it is proposed that 1,794.4 hectares will be reserved for industries and 1,608.3 hectares for mixed land use, the final location will be recommended by the consultant in the draft DPR, according to YEIDA.
