Decision and Approval
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) on 17 August 2026 took several important proposals related to industrial development at its 92nd Board meeting in Greater Noida. The Board approved a proposal to reserve 300 acres of land in Sector 6 for establishing Taiwan City. The project is expected to enhance the prospects of attracting Taiwan-based companies and investments related to technology manufacturing.
Scope and Land Allocation
A 300-acre area in Sector 6 has been designated as 'Taiwan City' to specifically support electronics and technology firms. The project is expected to create a cluster of electronics, semiconductor, information and communications technology (ICT) and other high-tech manufacturing companies in the Yamuna City region.
The concentration of Taiwanese companies could also encourage ancillary units, logistics firms and support services to establish operations around major manufacturers.
Strategic Context and Ecosystem
The decisions will accelerate the development of the Jewar-Noida Airport region as an integrated industrial and institutional hub. Initiatives such as a medical hub, university township, international stadium, interstate bus terminal, Taiwan City and pharmaceutical manufacturing cluster are expected to create new avenues for investment and employment in the region.
The integrated industrial ecosystem is expected to cover multiple stages of production, from raw materials and components to finished electronic and technology products.
YEIDA Background and Authority
For implementing the Yamuna Expressway Project and allied development in the region, Government of UP constituted Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (erstwhile Taj Expressway Industrial Development Authority) vide its Notification No.697/77-4-2001-3(N)/2001 dated 24th April, 2001, under UP Industrial Area Development Act, 1976 (UP Act No.6 of 1976).
