Filling up this 3km gap will give Noida its second road to Jewar
Noida: Greater Noida Authority and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) are exploring the feasibility of constructing a roughly 3km link road between two major corridors to provide seamless connectivity from Greater Noida to Noida International Airport. To that end, the Authority has decided to link its 130-metre wide road with Yamuna Authority's 120-metre wide road. Once ready, the link road could ease pressure on Yamuna Expressway by rerouting traffic for Greater Noida, Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad through this stretch.

However, a 3km patch is incomplete to connect the 120-metre road of Yamuna Authority, which connects to Jewar. The road sees heavy vehicular movement daily and with the expected rise in traffic — once the airport becomes operational — the authority is also undertaking widening work along this route. On Monday, Greater Noida Authority's additional CEO Sumit Yadav, along with other officials from the project department, carried out a site inspection of the 130-metre road. Yadav said, "Once the two roads are connected, it is expected to ease travel for residents of Greater Noida West, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad to the greenfield airport in Jewar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The authority also plans to construct an underpass near Sirsa village to cross the Eastern Peripheral Expressway as part of the proposed connectivity." The proposed connection between the two roads is crucial for establishing a direct, high-capacity link to the upcoming airport. At present, the absence of a seamless corridor forces commuters to take longer, congested routes, particularly those travelling from Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad. With the airport expected to become a major regional transit hub, this linkage will not only reduce travel time but also support planned urban and industrial expansion along the corridor. Abhishek Kumar, a resident of Greater Noida West, said the population of Greater Noida West has increased to about 5 lakh. "It will be a good move if the two roads are connected to provide a seamless travel experience to the airport," he said. The link road could not be developed earlier because Greater Noida Authority had not acquired land from farmers in the area. An official said the surrounding region has gradually developed. "We completed the 30-km stretch, but a portion remained unfinished due to pending land acquisition. Now, with the Noida International Airport nearing completion, we will soon acquire the remaining land and complete the link road," the official added. The road is strategically important as it lies near the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and connects key areas such as residential sectors Sigma III, IV, Omicron 1A, XU III and villages like Sirsa, Dadha and Khanpur. It also serves the nearby industrial zone of Ecotech 11. Anand Bhati, a resident of Sirsa village, said the incomplete road has made navigation difficult. "Greater Noida Authority built the 130-metre road but stopped at Sirsa roundabout, just 500 m ahead of the EPE. Likewise, Yamuna Authority's 120-metre road ends in Rampur Majra village. The 3-km stretch in between remains unmotorable," he said.

To skirt YEIDA rules, land allottees are betting on a hot tin roof
Noida: Industrial plots off near the upcoming Noida International Airport have one thing in common—tin sheds. While construction of factory units is far from over, with no man or machinery to be seen anywhere, most industrial plot allottees have erected large tin sheds—and a few even gates and fitted a one or two equipment for display—to create the illusion of an operational unit, meeting just the bare minimum to qualify for a functional certificate and resale at premium rates. The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is currently developing sectors 24, 24A, 28, 29, 30, 32 and 33 as industrial zones. It is also in the process of developing new sectors as a future hotspot for fintech, semiconductor and other high-tech industries due to their proximity to the airport. You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida As of now, 3,041 industrial plots have been allotted in these sectors. Of these, 2,297 have been issued checklists and 1,836 executed lease deeds. The Authority said possession was handed over for 1,235 plots, and close to 1,000 allottees have had their building maps approved. However, actual construction activity in these sectors is minimal—only about 15 units are functional on site. According to Yamuna Expressway Entrepreneurs Association president Rishabh Nigam, many plot holders have no intention of starting actual business operations. Instead, they aim to secure a functional certificate by setting up tin sheds at minimal cost—around Rs 9–10 lakh for a 300-square-metre plot—compared to over Rs 30 lakh for concrete construction. Once certified functional, they intend to resale the plots as their values are to go up several times in the resale market, he added. Sources said there have been reports of industrial plots being sold under questionable circumstances in the past few weeks. Tin sheds were also in a way helping allottees avoid penalties imposed on industrial units that fail to become functional within four years of the lease deed under UP govt norms. In response, the YEIDA has tightened regulations. OSD Shailendra Bhatia stated that functional certificates would now be issued only after 50% of a total plot area was developed using concrete. Tin sheds would be permitted only on the remaining portion. This measure, YEIDA officials said, will curb speculative behaviour and ensure that only genuine entrepreneurs benefit from industrial allotments. "It will not only prevent misuse by those aiming to flip plots but also accelerate real industrial development in the region," Bhatia said.

TAT forecasts record level of arrivals from India
Despite the recent crash of an Air India aircraft, Indian arrivals remain robust against the sluggish short-haul markets trend, as the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) anticipates a record level of 2.4 million arrivals from the market this year. The agency also reported that several airlines are planning to join the 750-million-baht flight stimulus programme that will soon be launched. Patsee Permvongsenee, executive director of the Asean, South Asia and South Pacific region at TAT, said Thailand remains a favourite destination for Indian tourists as it takes only 4-5 hours to reach the country by air, while the visa-free scheme is also convenient for planning their trips. As of July 13, 1.26 million Indian tourists had visited Thailand, becoming the third largest inbound market following Malaysia and China, which recorded 2.45 million and 2.43 million arrivals, respectively. Mrs Patsee said the potential segments include young millennials, wedding groups and business groups travelling via incentive programmes. Under the stimulus scheme initiated by the Thai government, there is a 150-million-baht subsidy for incentive groups, which should help boost the number of Indian tourists nationwide, on top of a similar plan implemented by the TAT's New Delhi and Mumbai offices, she said. Siriges-a-nong Trirattanasongpol, director of TAT's New Delhi office, said although the crash of an Air India flight bound for London last month had hampered Indian travel sentiment, prompting passengers to delay their trips with the airline, many are still maintaining their plan to visit Thailand during this low season. Mrs Siriges-a-nong said the joint-promotion scheme between the TAT and Air India that was supposed to be launched last month has been temporarily suspended, but the agency continues to work with other airlines to promote Thailand. She said the Indian government has offered more slots for foreign carriers to operate flights to Indian cities compared to previous years. The office is also monitoring the readiness of the new Noida International Airport, which should be completed this year, to seek new opportunities for flight expansion. Korakot Chatasingh, chief commercial officer of Thai Airways, said the Indian market could help offset the Chinese market at present. He said a lot of Indians also use Thai Airways to transit to other Southeast Asian destinations, such as Indonesia. The airline currently serves eight cities in India, including 22 flights per week to Delhi and 11 flights per week to Mumbai. It is now conducting a feasibility study for opening flights to Noida International Airport, which could attract Thai and Southeast Asian tourists due to its close proximity to the famous Taj Mahal. According to the TAT, several airlines are willing to apply for the subsidy programme, which aims to add 500,000 inbound tourist arrivals by providing support of 500 baht per passenger.

Height restrictions put in place within 20 km radius of Noida Airport
Noconstructions or tree planting is allowed within a 20 km radius of the Noida International Airport without a 'Height Clearance' or 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) from the Airport Authority of India (AAI), officials said. Noida International Airport on Friday issued an advisory for builders and local authorities and others to follow height limits within 20 km radius of the airport. Getting a clearance for any such activity within the area is not merely a regulatory formality but a vital requirement to safeguard flight operations and navigation infrastructure from potential obstructions, Noida airport's chief operating officer (COO) Kiren Jain said. 'As Noida International Airport nears commissioning, it is imperative for the public, real estate developers, and local authorities to strictly adhere to the height restriction regulations laid down by the Ministry of Civil Aviation to ensure the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations,' Jain said in a press statement. The statement further added that all concerned parties must approach local bodies before initiating any vertical development within the 20 km perimeter. These bodies will consult the Colour-Coded Zoning Map (CCZM) issued by AAI to assess permissible height limits. Based on the proposed construction height, the applicant may be directed to apply for a Height NOC via AAI's NOCAS portal, the press note said. This process is governed by GSR 751(E), Ministry of Civil Aviation (Height Restrictions for Safeguarding of Aircraft Operations) Rules, 2015, which prohibits any unapproved construction within safeguarded airspace. Any violation poses serious risks to Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) and the integrity of navigation systems, compromising overall flight safety. To enforce compliance, the Aircraft (Demolition of Obstructions caused by Buildings and Trees) Rules, 2023, empower authorities to initiate legal proceedings, including demolition of unauthorised structures or trees and imposition of penalties under the Aircraft Rules, the issued statement stated. All stakeholders, especially builders, landowners, and residents, are strongly advised to halt any unapproved development activities within the safeguarded zone and obtain the necessary NOC from AAI at the earliest. Timely compliance is essential to support safe, efficient, and obstruction-free operations at the upcoming Noida International Airport, the statement added.
