The upcoming Jewar Airport in the Greater Noida area is expected to start commercial operations in 2024-25, with the first of its four phases welcoming 12 million passengers annually. 

By the end of its entire four phase construction over the next decade, the airport will serve over 70 million passengers and millions of tonnes of cargo each year. 

And all of that requires solid road connectivity. 

New Roads Coming?

Yes. The Noida administration has recently notified the acquisition of land for a spur road linking the Delhi-Mumbai expressway with its upcoming airport at Jewar. 

NHAI reiterated that the spur road has been created under the Bharatmala scheme and is expected to improve freight movement as well.

This link road will also lead to the DND and the Faridabad-Ballabgarh bypass, creating brand new real estate hotspots on each end, while making existing ones even more investment worthy. 

The Backstory

Last week, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had asked the district administration to start work on acquiring private land chunks on its behalf.

Around 69.4 hectares will have to be acquired for the spur road and the list of private plots that will be needed to construct the spur road is ready. 

Land owners on that list have been given 21 days to file their objections or suggestions. 

Zooming In

The total length of this connecting spur road will be 31.2km and it will be elevated to go over the Yamuna. 

Land will be acquired across five villages — Dayanatpur, Falauda Bangar, Karauli Bangar and Rampur Bangar.
