Noida International Airport to get high-speed connectivity with Yamuna Expressway and Delhi–Mumbai Expressway
Dedicated air cargo road network to ensure faster and cost-effective logistics
Direct rail and RRTS connectivity with Delhi–Howrah and Delhi–Mumbai corridors
Massive investments in semiconductor, electronics, automobile, EV and green energy sectors
Lucknow/Noida: Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh government is developing the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) region as one of the country’s most ambitious multi-modal transport and industrial hubs. This integrated vision aims to position Uttar Pradesh as a nationally and globally competitive destination for investment, logistics, manufacturing and large-scale employment generation. At the core of this comprehensive plan is the Noida International Airport at Jewar, which upon completion is expected to emerge as North India’s largest aviation and logistics gateway.
The Chief Executive Officer of Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), Rakesh Singh, stated that the Yogi government’s priority is to ensure seamless connectivity through five modes—air, road, rail, RRTS and expressways. Additional CEO Shailendra Kumar Bhatia is overseeing the implementation of key infrastructure and connectivity projects under this integrated vision. As part of the strategy, the eight-lane access-controlled Yamuna Expressway has been directly connected to the airport, enabling faster and more efficient travel to Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh.
Through the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, direct connectivity will be available to Haryana and Uttarakhand, while the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, via the Ballabhgarh interchange, will link the Jewar Airport with the country’s largest industrial and commercial corridor. This extensive road network is expected to significantly benefit logistics, trade and industrial movement across regions.
To strengthen the logistics ecosystem, the Yogi government has planned the development of dedicated North and East Access Roads exclusively for air cargo movement. These corridors will allow heavy freight vehicles to reach the airport directly without passing through urban areas, ensuring smooth, safe and time-efficient cargo operations.
Preparations are also underway to connect the Ganga Expressway and NH-34 with YEIDA sectors and the Yamuna Expressway. This move will enhance connectivity across eastern, central and western Uttar Pradesh, making the region more accessible for industrial and commercial expansion.
The proposed RRTS network will connect Delhi and the National Capital Region with YEIDA sectors and the Noida International Airport, marking a major step toward modern urban transportation. Simultaneously, rail connectivity is being developed for industrial units and the airport, including direct links to the Delhi–Howrah and Delhi–Mumbai rail corridors, which is expected to reduce transportation costs and significantly boost exports.
Alongside infrastructure development, the impact of the Yogi government’s industry-friendly policies is evident in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Area and EMC Park, where large-scale investments are underway. In the electronics and semiconductor sector, the HCL–Foxconn group, through Vama Sundari Investments, is setting up a semiconductor testing facility.
Major anchor investments by Havells India, Dixon Technologies, Aditech Semiconductors and Ascent Circuits are transforming the region into a high-tech manufacturing hub with strong global linkages. The automobile and electric mobility sector is also gaining momentum, with investments from Escorts Kubota, Minda Corporation and Ninjas Electric, generating substantial employment opportunities.
Renewable energy and green manufacturing are receiving a major push, with companies such as SAEL Solar, Amber Enterprises and the Electric Vehicle Manufacturers Welfare Trust establishing operations in the region. Projects by Pine Valley Venture and Deki Electronics are further strengthening the textile and electronic components ecosystem.
The state government believes that robust connectivity, modern logistics infrastructure and a supportive industrial environment will create employment opportunities for lakhs of youth in the YEIDA region. Overall, this comprehensive vision under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership is expected to play a decisive role in advancing Uttar Pradesh towards the goal of becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy, while firmly establishing YEIDA as North India’s largest industrial, logistics and investment hub.
