Lucknow, Mar 3 (KNN) Ahead of general elections, the Union Government has unveiled grandiose plans for developing an investment region of 217 km encompassing Dadri, Noida and Ghaziabad alongside Greater Noida industrial township.
According to the plans launched with great fanfare, the initiative is a part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, which is being touted as a game-changer in industrialisation and giving a boost to the manufacturing, which has of late been bleeding due to demand compression and infrastructure bottlenecks.
The industries of food, auto, electricals, and electronics, IT/ITeS, research and development, aerospace, biotech and hi tech are proposed in the investment region.
The Integrated Industrial Township is planned on an area of 302 hectares. Likewise, the transport hub along the Delhi‐Howrah trunk rail corridor, with state‐of‐the art multi‐modal transit facility at Boraki Village is envisioned to be the nucleus of development for Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region, Greater Noida and its upcoming extensions.
The project will integrate four transit nodes and user‐friendly regional railway terminal, a metro passenger terminal, an ISBT, and the terminal station of the proposed rapid rail connectivity between DNGIR and Delhi International Airport. It shall be supplemented by a Business Centre (equipped with office and business hotel accommodation).
Plans are also in the pipeline to improve connectivity between Indira Gandhi International Airport and Dadri-Noida Ghaziabad Investment Region.
“With the object of providing fast and adequate rail‐based commuter connectivity to New Delhi, various alignment options are currently being explored to provide fast connectivity from the proposed Boraki Station (catering the population of Noida, Greater Noida and proposed Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region) with the Indira Gandhi International airport. The need of the project has emanated from the long travel time consumed by existing Road based transport systems,” an official statement said.
Commenting on the project, Commerce and Industry Minister, Anand Sharma said, “Uttar Pradesh will be the main beneficiary of the Industrial Corridor strategy being pursued by Government of India as it is the meeting point of the Eastern and the Western Corridors.”
“The entire agriculture produce of UP can be linked to cold chains and put on Western Corridor at Dadri. This will enable all agricultural products to reach the ports in record time. The overall impact of the Western and Eastern Corridors and the new Industrial Cities being developed in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor project have the potential to create over 30 lakh jobs in UP and enhance the State’s Industrial Output by Rs. 24 lakh crores,” he added.
