It plans to buy another 5,000 acres from nearly 2,000 farmers in Sectors 4A, 5, 5A, and 11. The acquisition is part of its plan to develop the region around Noida International Airport into a global investment hub.
Between 2021–22 and June 2025, the Authority has already acquired about 5,232 acres. This is in addition to plots acquired under Land Acquisition Act for Noida International Airport in Jewar and projects like international film city, medical device park, toy park and apparel park.
Currently, two more industrial townships — a Japanese City to be built on 395 hectares in Sector 5A and a Korean City on 365 hectares in Sector 4A — are proposed in the area. While the Korean cluster, focusing on electronics manufacturing, including chips, semiconductors, AI hardware and cameras, is to come up just 10km from the airport, the Japanese City will combine a semiconductor and advanced-tech cluster with residential and commercial spaces.
CEO Arun Vir Singh said both the clusters are to be self-sustained zones where 70% of land will be allocated for core manufacturing and the rest for supporting infrastructure, like commercial, residential and institutional facilities.
A Fintech City is also set to come up on 250 acres in Sector 11. Sector 5, meanwhile, is earmarked for residential and group-housing projects, with land also reserved for civic facilities such as a children's home and an orphanage.

US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk Is Musk taking a step closer to ending the feud with Trump because Tesla CEO's latest move seems to be hinting in that direction? James Fishback, principal architect of the "DOGE checks" initiative, who had called out Musk for his tweets against Donald Trump , hailed Tesla CEO after he deleted all the posts against the US President. He pointed out Musk's deleted posts and said that now to take another step and apologies to President Trump. "Elon has deleted his slanderous tweets about the President of the United States. Good first step. Next up: full-throated apology to Trump and his family," he said. It all started with Fishback, replying to Musk's tweet over think about making another party" American party. "Elon, Keep tweeting about your 'new political party' and Japanese fertility rates all you want. You owe President Trump a full-throated apology, and every hour you delay, it'll make an eventual apology less sincere. You can substantively disagree with the President on policy, but you should not have baselessly and personally attacked him. " Fishback said. Responding to Fishback, Musk posted several tweets but after a short brief, those tweets were deleted from the account. His response to some tweets are still existing but the riginal tweets has been deleted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo Not only those but all his previous tweets, targeting the president, has been deleted including the Epstein files. It seems that Musk may be seeing different ways to mends and go back from their broken ties.

The remark surprised Republican leaders and got a rare serious reaction from President Trump. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore,' Trump said from the Oval Office. He didn't stop there. Taking direct aim at Musk's businesses, the president said: 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.' Musk, in return, accused Trump of 'ingratitude' and escalated the standoff by reposting claims, without evidence, suggesting Trump's name appeared in government documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Suzuki Halts Swift Production Amid China's Rare Earth Export Curbs: Report
Last Updated: Suzuki Motor has halted production of its Swift and the consequences are particularly stark for India, where Swift has been one of the best-selling cars for years In a major jolt to the global automobile industry, Suzuki Motor has temporarily halted production of its widely popular Swift hatchback, a flagship model in India, Japan, and several other global markets. The reason? A tightening grip from China on the supply of critical rare earth elements, which has begun disrupting key industrial sectors across the world. This marks the first time a Japanese automaker has been forced to suspend vehicle production as a direct consequence of China's rare earth export restrictions, industry sources told Reuters. Production of all Swift subcompact variants, except the Swift Sport, has been on hold since May 26. While Suzuki had initially hoped to resume assembly by June 6, supply issues persisted, delaying production restart plans. The company has now announced a tentative partial resumption from June 13, with full-scale operations expected to restart after June 16. Although Suzuki has officially cited 'component shortages" without elaborating, two insiders familiar with the matter confirmed to Reuters that the root cause lies in China's decision to curb exports of rare earths and related magnets that are critical materials used in electric motors, batteries, and automotive components. Rare earth materials such as neodymium and dysprosium are essential in manufacturing magnets for electric motors and various car components. China dominates the global supply, accounting for more than 70% of rare earth production. When China announced in April that it would suspend exports of several categories of rare earths and associated magnets, alarm bells rang across sectors, from automobiles to aerospace and semiconductors to military hardware. This rare earth chokehold is not just a threat on paper. Several European auto parts plants have already paused operations. Mercedes-Benz is reportedly exploring strategies to shield itself from the looming shortfall. The disruption is also expected to impact the electric vehicle (EV) market, as lithium-ion battery production is heavily dependent on these elements. The ripple effect may slow down EV rollouts and affect pricing globally, including in India, where the EV market is still emerging and vulnerable to global supply tremors. The consequences are particularly stark for India, where the Swift has been one of the best-selling compact cars for over a decade. Suzuki's decision could cause supply gaps in India's market as well, especially if disruptions continue longer than expected. Meanwhile, auto manufacturers in India are reportedly scouting for alternatives to lithium-ion batteries and rare earth-dependent components. Japan, already reeling under the pressure, is now reportedly planning to propose stronger cooperation with the United States on building a secure rare earth supply chain. According to Nikkei Business Daily, these proposals are expected to feature prominently in upcoming trade talks between the two allies. While Suzuki's temporary suspension may appear limited in scope, analysts say it underscores a far more worrying trend; China's dominance over rare earth supplies is becoming a geopolitical lever capable of stalling industries across continents.

Taiwan's Yageo Plans to Keep Shibaura's AI Technology in Japan
Taiwan's Yageo Corp. said it would keep Shibaura Electronics Co.'s most advanced technology in Japan if it successfully acquires the artificial intelligence sensor maker. The comments from Yageo founder and Chairman Pierre Chen come as Tokyo seeks to strike a balance between shareholder returns while ensuring cutting-edge AI technology stays at home. Shibaura's high-precision thermistors are key for monitoring the internal temperature of electronic devices to prevent overheating. That's especially important in AI, where data centers with large clusters of high-performance servers churn through troves of data. 'It is not in Yageo's interest to see Shibaura's technology transfer to countries that Japan considers to be unfriendly,' Chen told reporters in Taipei on Saturday. 'We will impose even stricter controls on the technology to make sure it doesn't get leaked.' Yageo is facing off against Nintendo Co. supplier Minebea Mitsumi Inc. in its bid for Shibaura and is offering ¥6,200 for each Shibaura share. Minebea last offered ¥5,500 a share. Yageo's tender offer period ends June 19, though Chen wouldn't say if the company would consider an extension. Chen said Yageo officials will meet Shibaura management in Tokyo during the week of June 16 to discuss the offer. The Taiwanese company has had good communications with Japan's powerful Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, according to Chen. A Shibaura official declined to comment. Calls to METI outside business hours went unanswered. Yageo's bid for Shibaura has triggered a backlash in some Japanese business circles resistant to takeover bids from foreign companies. Tokyo officials are also split on such overtures. Regulators are trying to bolster corporate transparency and shareholder returns by encouraging companies to unwind cross shareholdings. But that — and a cheap yen — is also making it easier to initiate takeovers of Japanese companies. With assistance from Mayumi Negishi.
