The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has imposed a complete ban on land sales and purchases along the alignment of the proposed greenfield expressway linking Noida International Airport (NIA) in Jewar with the under-construction Ganga Expressway.
According to a Times Of India report, officials have warned that “any violation could lead to strict administrative action”.
The planned 74.3 km expressway, estimated to cost Rs 4,000 crore, aims to create a seamless high-speed corridor, connecting the Ganga and Yamuna expressways and significantly enhancing regional connectivity across Uttar Pradesh.
The Ganga Expressway, currently under construction from Meerut to Prayagraj, is set to become one of India’s longest expressways, transforming travel and economic prospects in the region.
District authorities in Gautam Buddh Nagar have commenced a survey to identify affected plots, following UPEIDA’s official directive to halt all land transactions.
According to YEIDA officials, the link expressway is poised to strengthen multimodal connectivity to NIA and catalyse economic development across western Uttar Pradesh and Greater Noida.
The 120 metre wide corridor will begin in Siyana, Bulandshahr, and connect with the Yamuna Expressway near Film City in Sector 21.
Initially planned at 83 km, the route was realigned to avoid developed sectors of Yamuna City.
Passing through 56 villages including eight in Gautam Buddh Nagar and 48 in Bulandshahr, the expressway will link key areas like Khurja, Bulandshahr, Syana, and Shikarpur tehsils.
Authorities are also exploring potential connectivity to NH34, though no concrete plans have yet been announced.
