On Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the grand inauguration of the Noida International Airport (NIA) in Jewar, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. Prior to the bhoomi pujan event, the Noida Traffic Police issued a consultation detailing traffic diversions and alternative routes. Earlier this morning, it was reported that there was a 6km traffic jam on the road to Jewar.
Noida International Airport (NIA) will become the second international airport in the capital region after Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport.
It is worth noting that the first phase of the airport covers an area of more than 1,300 hectares and is scheduled to start flight operations in 2024. After completion, the airport is also considered the largest airport in Asia.
The following are the latest updates:
“After 7 years of independence, Uttar Pradesh started to get what it deserves for the first time. Thanks to the efforts of the’two-engine sarkar’, today Uttar Pradesh is becoming the most closely connected region in the country,” said
Modi added that the airport “will be able to help farmers because it will speed up the export process. With the help of this airport, all goods will reach foreign markets faster.”
“Thousands of jobs were created during the construction of the airport. The airport also needs thousands of people to operate smoothly. The airport will also provide new jobs for thousands of people in the west of UP,” the prime minister said.
“Noida International Airport will be directly connected to a dedicated freight corridor. The airport will become a logistics gateway,” Prime Minister Modi said.
“This project will change people’s lives. Jewar Airport will benefit the people of Noida and the West of UP,” Prime Minister Modi said at the groundbreaking ceremony.
