Site clearance for the project was granted by the MoCA on July 6, 2017, and the Uttar Pradesh Government appointed Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) as the implementing agency on its behalf in October 2017.
YEIDA then obtained a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Defence on January 11. To expedite the implementation of Airport project, a Project Monitoring and Implementation Committee (PMIC) was also constituted on March 27.
During the meeting, the representatives of the state government and YEIDA informed that funds for land acquisition are available and that the process is expected to proceed smoothly.
Land measuring 5,000 hectares (ha) has been identified by YEIDA for the project, out of which 240 ha belongs to the state government and rest is with private owners.
The first phase of acquisition of land measuring 1,327 ha for construction of terminal buildings and runways is expected to be initiated in the month of June by the YEIDA.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to lay the foundation stone for the Noida International Greenfield Airport at Jewar.

Facility in Noida will allow Samsung to make phones at a lower cost
It was inaugurated by PM Modi and South Korean President Moon Jae-in
Samsung also plans to export India-made handsets
Samsung Electronics on Monday announced the opening of what it said is the world’s biggest mobile phone manufacturing facility as the South Korean tech group seeks to expand production in the world’s fastest-growing major mobile phone market.
The facility in Noida will allow Samsung to make phones at a lower cost due to its scale when other phone making hubs such as China are getting more expensive, analysts who track the sector said.
The factory, inaugurated jointly by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, will also help Samsung to compete with rivals such as China’s Xiaomi, which became India’s biggest smartphone brand by shipments earlier this year.
Samsung, which has been assembling phones in India since 2007, also plans to export India-made handsets, the company said in a statement.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has imposed taxes on imports of key smartphone components as part of a plan to encourage electronics manufacturing in India which would boost growth and create millions of new jobs.
While Modi’s ‘Make in India’ campaign is still a long way from delivering on ambitious job promises, the programme has had some success with the phased manufacturing of mobile devices and components. More than 120 local factories currently assemble mobile phones and accessories like chargers, batteries, powerbanks and earphones in India, according to tech research firm Counterpoint.
Samsung said last year it will spend Rs. 49.2 billion ($716.57 million) over three years to expand capacity at its Noida plant.
The new facility will help Samsung double its current capacity for mobile phones in Noida to an annual 120 million units after the phased expansion plan is complete, the company’s statement said.

The YEIDA has asked the Adani Group to submit a detailed project report, along with the 10% of total project cost, to begin the next step of the land allotment. On February 22 this year at the UP investor summit, the group signed a memorandum of understanding with the state government for the investment.
Adani Group representatives on Thursday met Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) officials to buy 2,500 acres of land for its logistics project.
The Adani Group is planning to set up the ‘Adani Multi-modal Logistics Park’ at Jewar along the 165km Yamuna Expressway that connects Greater Noida to Agra. It had, on February 22 this year at the UP investor summit, signed a memorandum of understanding with the state government for the investment. The group wants to start work on the project in 2018-19.
“Today the team from the Adani Group discussed project details and land allotment, including when they would set up the project. The Adani Group will invest ₹1,000 crore, excluding the land cost. We have asked them to deposit 10 per cent of the total project cost to begin the allotment process,” said Arun Vir Singh, chief executive officer, YEIDA.
The Adani Group’s plans for the state-of-the-art multi-modal logistics park include warehousing, cold storage facilities, and an investment in container rakes and an airstrip.
“They want to buy land in sectors 10, 11 and 12 near the site of proposed Jewar airport,” said the YEIDA CEO.
The YEIDA has asked the Adani Group to submit a detailed project report, along with the 10% of total project cost, to begin the next step of the land allotment. “Once the group deposits the money, we will call them for an interview before finalising the land allotment. The logistics park is expected to create 2,500 direct and indirect jobs in this region,” Sigh said.
The Union civil aviation ministry on June 24, 2017 had given its approval for building an international airport in Jewar. Subsequently, the YEIDA in November, 2017 had selected Singapore-based Pricewaterhouse Cooper (PwC) as consultants for the Jewar international airport project. The PwC, on March 16 this year, submitted its draft of a techno-economic feasibility report (TEFR) for the airport project.
“The airport project has helped us lure investors. Since the announcement of the airport project, many corporate houses and investors are exploring investment opportunities along the expressway,” said another YEIDA official.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Sunday dedicate to the nation two newly built expressways – Delhi-Meerut Expressway and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. PM Modi will travel in an open jeep on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and afterwards fly to Baghpat to inaugurate India’s first smart and green highway, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. Built at a cost of Rs. 11,000 crore, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway has several unique features to its name. It is India’s first highway to be lit by solar power besides provisions of rain water harvesting on every 500 metres on both sides.
The 135-km-long Eastern Peripheral Expressway or EPE has been built in a record time of 17 months. Its foundation stone was laid by PM Modi in November 2015. It originates at Kundli and ends at Palwal. Kundli and Palwal are both in Haryana.
India’s first smart and green highway
The Expressway is India’s first highway to be lit by solar power and has provisions of rain water harvesting on every 500 metres on both sides and would showcase 36 national monuments and 40 fountains, Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari said, adding it has been completed in a record 500 days.
There are 8 solar power plants on this expressway having a capacity of 4000-kilo watt (4 MW).
Mr Gadkari said 2.5 lakh trees have been planted along the highway. “For plantation, drip irrigation has been used in the central median as well as for avenue plantation,” he said.
The interchanges have been developed architecturally with beautiful plantation merged with fountains and 28 fountains have been installed drip irrigation provision has been done, he added.
Also, a cycle track of 2.5 metre has been developed on both sides of the expressway.
Intelligent highway traffic management system
The minister said it is equipped with smart and intelligent highway traffic management system (HTMS) and video incident detection system (VIDS) and will set a benchmark in highway construction by being environment-friendly with world-class safety features and smart/interactive infrastructure.
Over 11 lakh tonnes of cement, 1 lakh tonnes of steel, 3.6 crore cum earthwork and 1.2 cr cum fly-ash were used for the project, the minister said adding the project has generated employment opportunities of about 50 lakh man-days and 9,375 manpower was deployed here.
Signal-free expressway
Eastern Peripheral Expressway envisages signal-free connectivity between Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Faridabad and Palwal and will ultimately decongest the national capital. About two lakh vehicles, including trucks and commercial traffic, are expected to ply on the expressway without entering the national capital.
In order to have an uninterrupted travel experience and faster toll collection, the toll plazas will be provided with Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system.
Eastern Peripheral Expressway will help divert at least 50,000 vehicles going to Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, bringing down vehicular pollution.
The alignment of EPE starts near Kundli and passes through six parliamentary constituencies, viz Sonepat, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad and Palwal.
