In light of growing industrial and logistical activity in Greater Noida, an improvement to the road traffic system is being prepared. The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has proposed separating the movement of freight and passenger vehicles.
As part of this proposal, the construction of a 105-meter wide road to the Kapur bypass and the creation of a six-lane elevated road from the Multimodal Logistics Hub (MMLH) to the Noida International Airport in Jewar are under discussion. These plans aim to strengthen the connectivity of Greater Noida.
GNIDA has proposed building a road approximately 105 meters wide to the Kapur bypass. According to officials, the construction of this road will improve the connection between Noida-Greater Noida and the Ganga Expressway, reducing travel time between them to approximately 30-45 minutes. Furthermore, it is proposed to extend the existing transport link by about 15 kilometers, connecting Greater Noida with the Ganga Expressway, which is expected to accelerate industrial activity and movement in the region.
GNIDA also presented a project for constructing a six-lane elevated road from the MMLH to the Noida International Airport in Jewar. This road will run parallel to the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor and is primarily intended for freight transport. This will allow goods leaving the logistics hub to be delivered directly to the airport's cargo terminal, saving transportation time and reducing the load of heavy vehicles on city streets.
All these initiatives are part of the plan to amend the Greater Noida Master Plan for 2041. The main objective is to separate the movement of freight and passenger vehicles in the city. Discussions on these proposals took place on Monday in Lucknow, chaired by the Minister of Industrial Development, Nand Gopal Gupta. Alok Kumar, Deputy Chief Secretary of the Department of Industrial Development, was also present.
According to GNIDA, the Multimodal Logistics Hub and the Multimodal Transport Hub are among the key future projects of Greater Noida. Upon their implementation, an increase in the capacity of freight transport in the region and smoother movement between the logistics hub and the airport is expected. Overall, the proposed roads and elevated corridors are considered an important step towards separating freight traffic from passenger traffic in Greater Noida, which could give a new impetus to the connectivity between industrial zones, logistics hubs, the Ganga Expressway, and Jewar Airport.
