Yogi Adityanath Pushes For Airport, Railway Station And Logistics Hub To Drive Bundelkhand’s Industrial Growth

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed the development of an airport, railway station, and multimodal logistics park within the Bundelkhand Industrial Development Authority (BIDA) area.

Chairing a high-level review meeting on Wednesday (29 October), the Chief Minister said that the Agra–Gwalior Greenfield Expressway should be extended up to BIDA and Jhansi, instructing the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to hold consultations on the proposal, as per a PTI report.

He also called for swift progress on the fourth Delhi–Chennai railway line and directed the construction of a railway station inside the BIDA zone, along with the development of a Delhi–Nagpur Industrial Corridor node in the area.

To enhance logistics efficiency, CM Adityanath asked officials to expedite work on a link expressway connecting the Bundelkhand Expressway to BIDA and to establish a multimodal logistics park to strengthen industrial supply chains.

Reviewing ongoing land acquisition and infrastructure projects, he stated that Bundelkhand will no longer symbolise backwardness but progress, adding that BIDA’s success would spark an industrial revolution across the region.

The Chief Minister instructed that all land acquisition be completed within six months and directed the immediate deployment of additional registry and revenue staff.

He also ordered the appointment of qualified engineers, town planners, and architects within 15 days to accelerate project execution.

Officials informed that 56,662 acres have been approved for BIDA’s formation, of which 22,028 acres have already been acquired.

A new digital platform has been developed to ensure transparent and timely land acquisition, from farmer consent to payment while a dedicated call centre will begin operations next month.

Connectivity projects linking BIDA with NH-27 and NH-44 are nearing completion, while proposals for an IT park, bus depot, truck terminal, and logistics facilities are also in the pipeline.
