YEIDA Opens Consultancy Bidding for Airport-to-Tappal-Bajna Industrial Corridor Master Plan

The Corridor Initiative

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has initiated plans to develop a new industrial corridor between the upcoming Noida International Airport and the Tappal-Bajna Urban Centre, aiming to strengthen industrial growth and attract fresh investments in the region. YEIDA has invited proposals from reputed consultancy firms to prepare a comprehensive master plan for the proposed corridor.

The initiative is expected to create new employment opportunities while supporting the area's long-term economic development.

Strategic Purpose and Coverage

The proposed corridor is intended to bridge YEIDA Phase-I and Phase-II, creating a seamless industrial and urban development zone. Although the area was not originally included in the Master Plan 2041, its strategic location near the international airport has significantly increased its development potential.

According to officials, timely planning is essential to prevent unplanned construction and encroachments while ensuring systematic urban expansion.

Land Use and Mixed Development

The master plan will include land for industrial units, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, residential spaces for employees, commercial complexes, retail outlets and hotels. The integrated approach is expected to support both industries and the workforce while encouraging business activity around the airport region.

Connectivity Infrastructure

Improving connectivity forms a key part of the project. YEIDA plans to extend the proposed 130-metre-wide road connecting Noida International Airport up to the Khurja-Palwal Expressway. Located between Noida International Airport and the proposed Khurja-Palwal Expressway, the corridor is expected to emerge as an important industrial and logistics hub. Its proximity to key transport infrastructure is likely to attract companies from manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and allied sectors.

Bidding Process and Timeline

YEIDA has set August 5 as the deadline for consultancy firms to submit proposals for preparing the master plan. YEIDA Chief Executive Officer Rakesh Kumar Singh has directed officials to treat the project as a priority.

Long-Term Economic Impact

Officials believe the new industrial corridor will play a significant role in boosting investment, accelerating industrialisation and creating large-scale employment opportunities in the region. Once developed, the project is expected to contribute to the economic growth of western Uttar Pradesh while supporting the expanding ecosystem around Noida International Airport.
