The Uttar Pradesh government has hailed the Noida International Airport at Jewar as a 'game changer' for the state's economy, set to have a wide-ranging impact across agriculture, industry, logistics, and employment generation.
The airport, scheduled to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 28, will act as a strategic engine in accelerating UP's ambition of becoming a $1 trillion economy, the government said in a statement.
The project will significantly boost employment, attract investments, and enhance global connectivity, while also strengthening the state's presence on the international economic map.
Developed in line with the vision of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the airport is expected to unlock the state's landlocked economic potential by connecting key sectors such as agriculture, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), tourism, and industries directly to global markets.
The airport will have an annual capacity of handling around seven crore passengers and nearly 10 lakh tonnes of cargo, providing fresh momentum to agriculture, MSMEs, and logistics sectors.
The government added that reduced logistics costs, increased exports, and improved connectivity will enhance UP's competitiveness and economic growth.
Once fully operational, the airport could contribute to over one per cent growth in the state's GDP, it said.
The project is also expected to generate substantial employment opportunities, both direct and indirect, across sectors such as aviation, logistics, hospitality, agriculture, and supply chains.
