The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) will partner with Medical Excellence Japan (MEJ) to develop a Japanese medical device manufacturing cluster near the Noida International Airport, Hindustan Times reported, citing officials.
Yeida is set to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with MEJ during an upcoming visit by a Japanese delegation next month, marking a key step in transforming the region into a hub for advanced medical technology.
“This development happened after a high-level visit last week from Medical Excellence Japan (MEJ) officials hinted at a major step toward developing this region as a hub for advanced medical technology,” Shailendra Bhatia, officer on special duty (OSD) at Yeida, was quoted as saying by HT.
During their visit, MEJ representatives met Yeida CEO R K Singh and senior officials to finalise details of the MoU, which focuses on collaboration in the medical devices sector.
The agreement will support the upcoming Medical Devices Park in Sector 29 near the airport, aiming to attract major Japanese manufacturers to set up research and production units there.
“This partnership with MEJ is a game-changer for the Medical Devices Park and the ‘Make in India’ initiative. It will accelerate the creation of a sophisticated healthcare ecosystem, driving innovation, and positioning us as a key global manufacturing location,” said Yeida CEO RK Singh.
The MEJ leadership’s visit next month will be followed by a delegation of top Japanese medical device makers who will tour the park, meet Indian companies, and explore investment and co-manufacturing opportunities, officials added.
