Gautam Buddh Nagar district magistrate Manish Kumar Verma on Monday reviewed the development of an interchange on the Yamuna Expressway leading to the upcoming Noida International Airport and emphasized its timely completion.
During an on-site inspection, Verma stated that no leniency would be tolerated in the construction of the interchange for the airport in the Jewar area of western Uttar Pradesh.
“The Jewar Airport is a significant project for both the state and the country. No leniency will be tolerated in its construction,” he declared, according to an official statement, PTI reported.
After chairing the Samadhan Diwas in Jewar Tehsil, Verma conducted a review of the ongoing construction at Dayanatpur, a project managed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Sub-Divisional Magistrate (Jewar) Abhay Kumar Singh provided updates on the progress, and Verma stressed the importance of adhering to both quality and timelines.
“Ensure all construction work on the interchange is completed within the stipulated timeframe with an uncompromising focus on quality,” Verma instructed the officials. He also directed the acceleration of work from the Dayanatpur airport boundary to the Yamuna Expressway interchange to meet deadlines efficiently.
The development of the first phase of the Noida International Airport is underway over an area of more than 1,300 hectares and will serve as the second international airport in the National Capital Region after Delhi’s IGI Airport.
While the Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), which is developing the public-private partnership (PPP) project, recently announced the airport would open in April 2025, the UP government has insisted on its scheduled completion by the end of September this year.
