As part of this collaboration, a Project Monitoring Cell (PMC) will be set up at CAQM, with both CSIR-CRRI and SPA providing technical and institutional support. The PMC will coordinate and oversee the phased rollout of the framework across NCR states, ensuring adherence to the detailed redevelopment initial phase of implementation will focus on nine major urban and industrial centres in the NCR: Delhi, Faridabad, Gurugram, Sonipat, Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Bhiwadi and Neemrana. The framework will benefit from CSIR-CRRI's expertise in road engineering, standardisation and asset management, combined with SPA's proficiency in sustainable urban planning and green redevelopment model includes specific features such as designing road cross-sections based on road type and Right of Way (ROW) width, incorporating greening measures within the ROW to suppress dust, and deploying a Web-GIS-based Road Asset Management System (RAMS) to ensure efficient maintenance.

Lucknow: Chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh on Tuesday said that the UP govt and its machinery worked hard to make the state the number one choice for investors on many fronts over the past eight years. "There was a time when UP was seen as a secondary option, but now, under the leadership of chief minister Yogi Adityanath, the govt machinery has positioned it as the number one choice for investors. I gathered echoes of UP's turnaround from Davos to Delhi. Transformative changes that define present-day UP are sure to help the state thrive in the area of GCCs as well," he said, addressing the GCC conclave organised by Invest UP. He credited the investor-friendly policies, modern infrastructure and proactive governance for creating a robust industrial ecosystem. "With Noida-Greater Noida emerging as prominent global capability centre hubs, tier-II and III cities are also gaining momentum," he said, adding that UP now ranks among the top choices for office and industrial setups because of competitive incentives and a supportive business environment.
