PM Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the Noida International Airport at Jewar, marking a major step in strengthening regional connectivity in the Delhi-NCR region.
Addressing the event, the Prime Minister said the project signals a new phase of development for Uttar Pradesh and the country. Built at a cost of ₹11,200 crore, the airport will handle 12 million passengers annually in its first phase, with plans to expand capacity to 70 million passengers over time.
PM Modi highlighted that the airport will benefit nearby regions such as Agra, Mathura, and Meerut, and create opportunities for farmers, businesses, and youth. He also noted that the government is expanding the UDAN scheme to improve air connectivity across smaller cities.
Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu said the airport will be developed as an aerotropolis, with cargo and maintenance facilities expected to generate jobs locally.
The project is expected to enhance infrastructure and support economic growth, marking a significant milestone in India’s aviation sector.
