What YEIDA Decided
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has approved plans to develop a large integrated industrial and economic zone between Jewar and the Tappal-Bajna area, aimed at linking the Noida International Airport with the proposed Tappal-Bajna Logistics Park and Urban Centre in Aligarh. To move the project forward, YEIDA has invited bids from experienced agencies to prepare a techno-economic feasibility report and a master plan for the township.
Project Scope and Land Use
Spanning around 7,600–8,000 hectares along the Yamuna Expressway, the corridor will house a mix of manufacturing units, logistics parks, warehouses, MSMEs, commercial spaces and worker housing. The location is seen as strategically important due to its proximity to the airport's cargo terminal and the rapidly evolving industrial ecosystem in the YEIDA region.
Tender and Timeline
The deadline for submitting bids to appoint the consultant is August 5, with bids scheduled to be opened on August 7. The selected agency will be given six months to prepare the feasibility report. After that, it will have another four months to complete the final master plan. This places the completed master plan by late 2027 or early 2028, pending selection timelines.
Feasibility and Master Plan Scope
The feasibility study will evaluate development potential, market demand, investment viability, infrastructure needs and environmental considerations. It will also identify suitable industrial sectors, assess land use patterns and propose financing and implementation models, along with a phased development roadmap.
Following approval of the feasibility study, a comprehensive master plan extending to 2041 will be drafted. This plan will outline land-use strategies based on connectivity, environmental sustainability and development constraints, while also covering zoning, logistics networks, utilities and regulatory frameworks.
Strategic Context
Noida International Airport's Phase 1 (Jewar Airport) is now operational, with commercial flights starting June 15, 2026. The project is expected to benefit from its strategic location near the Noida International Airport, which is emerging as one of India's major aviation and economic hubs. Improved airport connectivity is likely to attract industries, businesses, logistics companies, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and real estate investment to the area.
What Comes Next
Following selection of the consultant (expected by mid-August 2026), the feasibility report will take six months to complete. The master plan design will follow over four additional months. Once the required approvals are received from the authorities, development work on the township is expected to begin. No timeline for approvals has been announced, but past YEIDA master plan processes have required state government, National Capital Region Planning Board, and Union housing ministry sign-off.
Frequently asked questions
Why is YEIDA commissioning this separate plan for the 8,000-hectare township?
YEIDA is developing this large integrated industrial and economic zone specifically aimed at linking the Noida International Airport with the proposed Tappal-Bajna Logistics Park and Urban Centre in Aligarh. The detailed feasibility and master plan will guide land acquisition, infrastructure phasing, and investment strategy for this high-priority corridor.
What is the difference between the feasibility report and the master plan?
The feasibility report will evaluate development potential, market demand, investment viability, infrastructure needs and environmental considerations, and identify suitable industrial sectors, assess land use patterns and propose financing and implementation models. The master plan will outline land-use strategies based on connectivity, environmental sustainability and development constraints, while also covering zoning, logistics networks, utilities and regulatory frameworks.
Who can bid for this tender?
The tender is open to experienced consulting agencies capable of preparing techno-economic feasibility and master planning work at this scale. Details on specific bidder qualifications, prior experience requirements, and financial criteria are published in the formal tender documents available from YEIDA.
Will this township have housing?
The corridor will house a mix of manufacturing units, logistics parks, warehouses, MSMEs, commercial spaces and worker housing. The final balance between residential, industrial, and commercial uses will be determined in the master plan based on demand and feasibility analysis.
How does this fit into YEIDA's broader Master Plan 2041?
The comprehensive master plan extending to 2041 will be drafted following approval of the feasibility study. This township-specific plan will integrate into the broader YEIDA Master Plan 2041 framework and align with connectivity, land-use zoning, and infrastructure priorities across the Yamuna Expressway corridor.
When will development actually start?
Once the required approvals are received from the authorities, development work on the township is expected to begin. Given the feasibility (6 months) and master plan (4 months) timelines, active development is unlikely before late 2027 or 2028, pending approval processes.
