The Impressive TimesGreater Noida, : The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has approved a series of large-scale infrastructure and industrial initiatives aimed at strengthening economic development around the Noida International Airport. The decisions were taken during the Authority’s 91st Board Meeting, chaired by Alok Kumar, Chairman of YEIDA and Additional Chief Secretary (Industrial Development), with Board Secretary Rakesh Kumar Singh presenting the agenda.
The Board reviewed the Authority’s financial position, ongoing industrial projects, transport initiatives, land acquisition and rehabilitation measures before giving approval to several proposals designed to boost investment and urban expansion in the Yamuna Expressway region.
According to the financial review, YEIDA recorded a significant rise in revenue during the first quarter of the current financial year. Total receipts increased to ₹1,371.75 crore by June 30, 2026, compared with ₹640.01 crore during the corresponding period last year. Expenditure reached ₹2,101.96 crore, with nearly ₹1,741.40 crore utilised for land acquisition. Income generated from industrial and mixed land-use schemes contributed ₹660.14 crore, accounting for almost half of the Authority’s annual revenue target.
To strengthen emergency preparedness in rapidly developing urban areas, the Board sanctioned ₹50 crore for the Uttar Pradesh Fire Services Department to enhance firefighting infrastructure, particularly for high-rise buildings expected to come up across the region.
The meeting also reviewed progress in several industrial clusters, including the MSME Park, Handicraft Park, Toy Park, Apparel Park and Medical Device Park. Officials informed the Board that 63 lease deeds had been executed and 15 industrial units had already commenced commercial operations.
Among the major approvals was the development of an Industrial Node near Noida International Airport, expected to attract manufacturing, logistics and allied industries. The Board also examined plans for establishing a YEIDA International Trade City, envisioned as a major commercial hub to promote domestic and international business activities.
In another significant decision, the Authority approved the allotment of 30 acres of land in Sector 9 to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for setting up a state-of-the-art research centre that will strengthen medical research and innovation in the region.
The Board also reviewed the progress of NTPC-supported electric and hydrogen-powered bus services, reflecting YEIDA’s focus on sustainable public transport. Approval was granted for establishing a solid waste management facility near the Dhanauri Wetland to improve environmental management and waste disposal.
To provide relief to affected villagers, officials were instructed to issue reservation letters for 7 per cent developed abadi plots immediately after completion of land acquisition. The Board further approved the adoption of Noida Authority’s policy framework for future hotel development schemes to ensure uniformity in planning and implementation
.
Additionally, approval was given for acquiring land required for the development of new industrial sectors and the construction of a Master Plan road linking Sector 7B and Sector 8D, a project expected to improve connectivity and support future industrial and urban expansion.
The decisions taken during the 91st Board Meeting are expected to strengthen the Yamuna Expressway region’s position as one of Uttar Pradesh‘s fastest-growing industrial and investment destinations, particularly with the upcoming operationalisation of the Noida International Airport.
