Prime Minister Narendra Modi toured and reviewed the Noida International Airport in Jewar on Saturday, ahead of the inauguration of Phase 1.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accompanied the Prime Minister on his visit to the airport.

PM Modi will inaugurate Phase I of Noida International Airport at Jewar today. Phase I of the airport has been developed at a total investment of around Rs 11,200 crore under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.

According to the PMO, the airport, envisioned as a major international gateway for the National Capital Region (NCR), represents a major step in strengthening the country's airport infrastructure and enhancing regional and international connectivity.

Noida International Airport has been developed as the second international airport for the Delhi NCR region, complementing Indira Gandhi International Airport. Together, the two airports will function as an integrated aviation system, easing congestion, expanding passenger capacity, and positioning Delhi NCR among leading global aviation hubs.

Noida International Airport is among the largest greenfield airport projects in India. The airport will initially have a passenger handling capacity of 12 million passengers per annum (MPPA), with scalability up to 70 MPPA upon full development. It features a 3,900-meter runway capable of handling wide-body aircraft, along with modern navigation systems including Instrument Landing System (ILS) and advanced airfield lighting to support efficient, all-weather, round-the-clock operations.

The airport also incorporates a robust cargo ecosystem, including a Multi-Modal Cargo Hub, featuring an Integrated Cargo Terminal and logistics zones. The cargo facility is designed to handle over 2.5 lakh metric tonnes annually, expandable to around 18 lakh metric tonnes, and includes a dedicated 40-acre Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility, the press release by the PMO stated.

Designed as a sustainable and future-ready infrastructure project, Noida International Airport aims to operate as a net-zero emissions facility, integrating energy-efficient systems and environmentally responsible practices. Its architectural design draws inspiration from Indian heritage, incorporating elements reminiscent of traditional ghats and havelis, thereby blending cultural aesthetics with modern infrastructure.

Great to see the focus on sustainability and net-zero emissions. The design inspired by ghats and havelis is a beautiful touch, blending our culture with modern needs. Hope the promised cargo hub boosts local manufacturing and exports from UP.

While the infrastructure is impressive, I hope the development benefits the local communities in Jewar and doesn't just lead to land price inflation. The government must ensure jobs and skill development for the youth in the region.

The scale of this project is mind-boggling. 70 million passenger capacity eventually? That's world-class. The integrated cargo terminal and MRO facility will be crucial for the logistics sector. A big step for 'Make in India'.

Finally, some world-class infrastructure coming to Western UP! This will completely transform the economic landscape of Gautam Budh Nagar and nearby areas. Real estate and hospitality sectors are already buzzing. Jai Hind!

The PPP model with such a huge investment shows confidence in our economy. My only request: please ensure last-mile connectivity. A high-speed rail link or efficient metro to Delhi and Noida is absolutely essential for this to succeed.
