CM's deadline was May, but Noida airport launch is still months away
Noida: UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath had set a deadline of May 15 for domestic flights operations from Noida International Airport and June 25 for international operations during a review meet in March. But UP chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh's visit Tuesday confirmed the project is still several months away from completion, with key infrastructure components unfinished. Singh, who inspected the progress of work at airport's terminal building and aerodrome licence, met officials from concessionaire Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Airports Authority of India (AAI) and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). "This project is linked to the state's prestige. It must be completed as per the timeline and according to the highest quality standards," Singh told officials, adding that the airport was pivotal to several multi-crore investments in the city. With the first deadline already missed and less than two weeks to go for the second, critical facilities, like the water treatment plant (WTP), sewage treatment plant (STP), and parts of the terminal building and runway system, are still incomplete. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo A TOI report on April 30 had flagged that the airport was unlikely to meet the May target. As of now, the greenfield project has already missed multiple launch timelines. Its original deadline of Sept 29, 2024, was revised to April 17 this year and then again to May as work on the terminal building was pending. Officials said construction is still underway, and the airport has yet to receive security clearance from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and an aerodrome licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Officials on Tuesday said a revised timeline would be announced soon, but no date has been confirmed. With the current pace, the project is nearly a year behind schedule. While the current construction status has not been officially disclosed, the overall physical progress of the project till March 10 was 80%. The runway and associated airside infrastructure, which were 90% complete, were to be ready by April. The passenger terminal building was only 80% complete, with steel roofing and internal finishing still underway. The water and sewage treatment plants, both 40% complete, were significantly behind schedule. Though the ATC building was to be completed by March 31, the commissioning of CNS/ATM systems by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) was projected only by April 30. Earlier, UP has imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh per day on concessionaire YIAPL from Jan 1 for the delay in completing the project. Despite this, progress has remained slower than expected. During his inspection, Singh reviewed the terminal building, runway, Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower, and drainage infrastructure meant to connect the airport's wastewater system to the Pathwaya drain. He urged officials to expedite pending work and warned against any compromise in quality. Senior officials have been asked to conduct regular reviews and work closely with Tata Projects, the construction of the airport, to resolve bottlenecks and ensure accountability. Spread over 1,334 hectares, Noida International Airport will be the third commercial airport in the NCR, after Delhi's IGI and Ghaziabad's Hindon civil terminal. The foundation stone was laid in Nov 2021. Singh also visited Bankapur to review the drainage link plan and directed departments concerned to implement it immediately to avoid commissioning delays.

Minister Seethakka sets monthly targets for Panchayati Raj Dept
Hyderabad, June 17 (UNI) Telangana Minister for Panchayati Raj and Rural Development, Dr Dhanasari Anasuya Seethakka, on Tuesday directed officials of the department to set monthly targets and work systematically towards their achievement to ensure the timely implementation of development and welfare activities. Chairing a high-level review meeting here, the Minister reviewed the progress of ongoing schemes such as Mission Bhagiratha, Indira Mahila Shakti, Stree Nidhi, and the newly introduced HUM Policy for rural road construction. She also addressed pending employee issues and praised the efforts of departmental staff in delivering grassroots services, an official statement said. Minister Seethakka congratulated N Sridhar on taking charge as the Principal Secretary of the Panchayati Raj and Rural Development Department, expressing confidence that under his leadership, the department would scale new heights. She recalled Sridhar's contributions as the former Warangal Collector and CMD of Singareni Collieries, particularly in her own constituency, and said his appointment would strengthen interdepartmental coordination and help secure more funding for rural initiatives. She emphasised that the department, which represents over 2.5 crore people, should function like a family—from the minister to the multipurpose worker—working together with a shared vision of village development. Highlighting the importance of rural road infrastructure, the Minister stated that 18,472 kilometres of roads would be modernised under the HUM Policy, with 7,947 kilometres to be developed in the first phase. She added that Rs 1,800 crore worth of works had already been sanctioned and instructed officials to prepare an action plan to invite tenders within the next 15 days. The guidelines for the HUM project would be released shortly, and teams had been dispatched to Maharashtra and Karnataka to study best practices for effective implementation. Seethakka noted that rural roads, once neglected, would now surpass even urban roads in quality through this policy. She also announced that this year, 1,440 Gram Panchayat buildings and 1,440 Anganwadi centres would be constructed across the state—two for each mandal. These projects are expected to be taken up under a state-wide "Work Fair," which aims to generate employment while creating durable community assets. The Minister said that the government had resolved many staff-related issues since coming to power, including the regular payment of salaries to 93,000 village-level employees through the green channel. She further informed that the file regarding MPDO transfers was with the Chief Minister, and the vehicle allowance file had reached the Finance Department, with approvals expected soon. Principal Secretary N Sridhar, addressing the meeting, said that the Panchayati Raj Department plays a vital role in empowering rural communities and women through schemes like Indira Mahila Shakti. He said the department delivers essential services from the village to the district level and pledged to hold focused review meetings with each section to enhance overall performance. Sridhar urged everyone to work in unison to bring a good name to the government under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Minister Seethakka. He assured full commitment to building a transparent, efficient, and people-centred department. UNI VV SS

Stamp duty waiver of 45cr for Dharavi project to lease rly land
Mumbai: The state cabinet on Tuesday approved stamp duty waiver of Rs 45 crore on sub-lease agreements between Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) and Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA), as well as of Rs 186 crore on the conveyance agreement signed with the judiciary to set up a permanent campus of Maharashtra National Law University at Goregaon. RLDA has agreed to lease 47.5 acres of its land at Mahim to DRP for more than 30 years. So far, DRP has obtained possession of 28 acres. The land is to be used for railway staff quarters and offices, as well as for housing slumdwellers and residents of authorised buildings in Dharavi. Over 10,000 housing rehab units are proposed to be built on the plot. In a press release, govt said there was a proposal to include such sub-leases in the stamp duty concession policy so that the project's implementation could get a boost. Maharashtra National Law University currently operates out of a rented building at Powai. Govt has provided 35 acres to it in Goregaon for a permanent campus. The stamp duty is 5% of the ready reckoner rate of the plot, which is valued at Rs 3,100 crore, said officials. "The construction of the university's infrastructure in this new space will save on rental costs. Also, the students here will have access to educational facilities in one place," stated the release. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Coventry: If You Were Born Between 1945-1974 You Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Read More Undo The cabinet also approved a 50% reduction in stamp duty, amounting to Rs 33 crore, on a special purpose vehicle agreement on 493 hectares required for a joint venture project of MMRDA and Raigad Pen Growth Centre Ltd. This would benefit housing projects on the land, said officials. Through the growth centre, govt aims at development of fintech companies, educational and healthcare facilities, amusement parks, affordable housing, commercial hubs, retail and construction sectors, thereby providing a large number of employment opportunities at the local level. "Apart from promoting foreign investment, there is a possibility of a large amount of stamp duty and tax revenue being collected in the state treasury from future commercial transactions. Against this backdrop, a proposal to waive 50% stamp duty was approved," said an official. In the last financial year, govt earned Rs 58,000 crore as revenue from stamp duty, and in the current fiscal, it is estimated to cross Rs 60,000 crore.
