The Yamuna Expressway Authority (YXPA) announced plans to build a new city to accommodate the population surge from Noida International Airport in Uttar Pradesh. It is an exciting step toward progress. This innovative urban hub, set to be situated about 190 kilometers away from Noida and conveniently close to the upcoming Noida airport in Jewar, will cover a massive area of 10,500 hectares - almost as big as half of Noida!

Meticulous Planning for Sustainable Growth

To ensure meticulous planning and seamless execution, the YXPA has enlisted the expertise of seasoned consultants to craft a comprehensive 10-year master plan. This blueprint will encompass critical aspects such as robust transportation networks linking neighboring cities, meticulous environmental impact assessments, and innovative strategies for sustainable growth.

Catering to Tourism Boom & Economic Growth

The driving force behind this ambitious endeavor lies in the impending influx of travelers expected to flock to the region, spurred by the imminent inauguration of the Noida International Airport. Scheduled to commence passenger operations later this year, this state-of-the-art airport is poised to attract a flood of both domestic and international tourists.

Preserving the Beauty of Taj Mahal

Given the profound significance of the Taj Mahal as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving its pristine environment is paramount. Shailendra Bhatia, an official at YXPA, emphasized the strict adherence to eco-friendly practices, with a focus on promoting green industries to mitigate pollution risks.

A Grand Vision for Progress and Sustainability

Uttar Pradesh's grand vision for this new city stands as a testament to progress, innovation, and sustainability, poised to redefine the landscape and elevate the region's global stature. As anticipation mounts for the unveiling of this bold urban marvel, all eyes are on Uttar Pradesh as it embarks on this transformative journey.
