The Impressive TimesGreater Noida, March 18,2025: Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh is setting new benchmarks in development while earning recognition on the global stage. The state, particularly Western Uttar Pradesh, has witnessed remarkable industrial and economic progress over the past eight years, driven by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA).
Major projects like the Noida International Airport in Jewar—set to be India’s largest—along with the upcoming International Film City and various industrial parks, have positioned Uttar Pradesh as a prime destination for investment. These initiatives are not only attracting investors but also generating significant employment opportunities.
Flagship events like the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit (UPGIS-2023) and the Ground Breaking Ceremony (GBC 4.0) have played a crucial role in accelerating this progress.
At the UPGIS-2023, YEIDA secured Rs 1,88,970.18 crore in investments through 165 MoUs, exceeding its target by 236.21%. This investment is expected to create around 4,53,339 jobs. Similarly, at the GBC 4.0, investments worth Rs 45,148.41 crore were implemented on the ground, surpassing the goal by 103.19% and helping generate 1,32,663 job opportunities.
Over the past eight years, YEIDA has developed MSME parks, Toy City, Handicraft Park, Apparel Park, Data Center Park, and Medical Device Park, fostering industry growth through cluster-based development. In FY 2023-24 and 2024-25, 152 industrial units have been allotted land, paving the way for an investment of Rs 27,521.99 crore and creating 16,405 jobs.
In Sector-28, a Medical Device Park is being developed at a cost of Rs 439.40 crore, with 74 plots already allotted. This project is expected to attract Rs 3,800 crore in investment and generate 15,000 jobs. These initiatives are making Uttar Pradesh a major hub for global investors, driving the state’s economy to new heights.
The Noida International Airport, being developed over 1,334 hectares in Jewar, is based on the PPP model. In the first phase, Zurich Airport International AG is investing Rs 5,730 crore to build an airport with a 12-million-passenger capacity, set to become operational by 2025.
To enhance connectivity, a 72.26 km-long Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) will link Jewar Airport with Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Authority. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for this Rs 20,637 crore project has been submitted to the Government of India.
Additionally, an International Film City is being developed over 1,000 acres in Sector-21. In the first phase, Bayview Projects LLP is constructing on 230 acres, aiming to boost employment and commercial activities. These projects will enhance tourism, manufacturing, and exports, contributing to the region’s structural growth.
Similarly, a Heritage City is being developed near Shri Banke Bihari Temple, featuring Greenfield connectivity, a riverfront, and a yoga center, as per the Braj Vikas Parishad’s recommendations. This project aims to boost tourism and preserve cultural heritage.
To support Jewar Airport’s growing logistics demand, a Logistics Park is being developed in Tappal-Bajna, with the DPR approved and land acquisition in progress.
Additionally, a 200-acre Fintech Park in Sector-11 and a Toy Park in other areas are being developed to attract investments and create job opportunities. In Sector-10, a 1,000-acre Semiconductor and EMC Park is planned, with a 200-acre proposal already submitted to the Government of India.
