BJP terms Noida airport a 'turning point' for Uttar Pradesh, NCR

BJP hails Noida's Jewar airport as a major connectivity and economic boost for UP and NCR, with PM Modi invited for March 28 inauguration.

"It will become a new connectivity route for all of North India. - R.P. Singh"

New Delhi, March 18

BJP National Spokesperson R.P. Singh on Wednesday asserted that the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar will be a turning point for Uttar Pradesh and the National Capital Region.

Singh told IANS: "It will become a new connectivity route for all of North India."

He further added, "As far as accidents are concerned, there have not been any unpleasant incidents this time, which reflects the control under Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's law and order management."

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Adityanath, on Wednesday, while addressing an event in Lucknow, said a request has been sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the Noida International Airport at Jewar on March 28.

He said, "For connectivity in the country, especially air connectivity, today there are 16 domestic airports in Uttar Pradesh and four international airports. Also, the fifth, which will be the biggest international airport in the country, is coming up at Jewar. We have sent an invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting its inauguration on March 28."

Adityanath further added, "Imagine the growth that will take place in Uttar Pradesh after this airport is built. The state will also achieve economic development. With this airport, the state government will earn Rs 1 lakh crore income."

Notably, Adityanath was earlier presented the aerodrome licence issued by the Government of India to the Noida International Airport (NIA).

The Noida International Airport, being developed in Jewar in Gautam Buddha Nagar, is a major greenfield airport that will connect the National Capital Region and western Uttar Pradesh with major cities across India and the world.

The airport is being developed with world-class facilities, combining Swiss efficiency with Indian hospitality.

The development of the airport is planned in four phases. In the first phase, one runway and one passenger terminal building have been constructed, with an annual capacity of approximately 12 million passengers. In the second phase, the capacity will be expanded to 30 million passengers. With further expansion in the third and fourth phases, the total capacity is targeted to reach 70 million passengers annually.

While the infrastructure push is commendable, I hope the focus is also on last-mile connectivity. How will people from Noida, Ghaziabad, and even Delhi reach Jewar easily? The expressway needs to be ready and affordable public transport is a must.

"Swiss efficiency with Indian hospitality" sounds great on paper. Let's see the execution. Our airports have improved a lot, but maintenance and cleanliness over the long term is the real challenge. Fingers crossed this becomes a true world-class gateway.

As someone who travels frequently from Gurgaon to IGI, the traffic is a nightmare. A well-connected airport in Jewar could be a game-changer for the entire NCR if they get the road and metro links right. The economic boost for UP could be massive.

Rs 1 lakh crore income for the state? That's a bold claim. Hope this translates into better schools, hospitals, and infrastructure for the common people of UP, and not just stays as a statistic. Development should be for all, not just for showpieces.

Excited for this! My family is from Agra. This airport will make it so much easier for international tourists to visit the Taj Mahal and other heritage sites in the region. Big boost for tourism if marketed well. 🏛️
