Decision Context & Authority
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) held its 92nd board meeting on August 17, 2026. The meeting approved a series of major development projects designed to create a comprehensive industrial and institutional ecosystem around the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar. YEIDA, established in 2001 under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, 1976, is the nodal agency responsible for the planned and sustainable development of the region along the Yamuna Expressway.
Taiwan City: Approved Scope & Location
A 300-acre area in Sector 6 has been designated as 'Taiwan City' to specifically support electronics and technology firms. The Taiwan City will be developed across 300 acres in Sector 6, with plots to be allotted to Taiwan-based companies.
Intended Industry Focus
The proposed 300-acre Taiwan City is among the clearest indicators of YEIDA's ambition to attract international manufacturing and technology investment, intended to attract Taiwan-based companies, particularly in electronics and technology manufacturing. 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, with an integrated industrial ecosystem covering multiple stages of production, from raw materials and components to finished electronic and technology products.
Complementary Approvals in Sector 6
A 100 to 125-acre pharmaceutical formulation manufacturing cluster will be set up in the same sector to invite domestic and international pharma companies. The cluster will accommodate Indian and international pharmaceutical companies producing tablets, capsules, injectables, oral liquids and topical preparations in accordance with global Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Broader YEIDA 92nd Board Approvals (August 17, 2026)
YEIDA's 92nd Board meeting approved several major institutional initiatives, including a 500-acre medical hub, a 480-acre university township, and a 100–125-acre pharmaceutical formulation manufacturing cluster. Additional approvals included a medical college on 500 acres in Sectors 13 and 14, a university/township on 480 acres in Sector 14, and a modern international stadium on 50 acres in Sector 23B.
Financial & Strategic Context
According to figures presented at the 92nd Board meeting, total receipts increased from ₹974.37 crore up to July 31, 2025, to ₹1,853.74 crore up to July 31, 2026—a year-on-year increase of 90.25%. Industrial/mixed land-use receipts alone reached ₹1,195.99 crore. Instead of treating industrial, residential, institutional and infrastructure projects as isolated developments, the authority is building an interconnected ecosystem around the airport, Yamuna Expressway and planned economic clusters.
