Noida Expressway Real Estate Soars as Jewar Airport Nears Completion

The plains of western Uttar Pradesh are stirring. The great airport is rising near Jewar. Once, Noida Expressway resounded with the hum of commuters and lorries. But now it croons a lay of growth. Bent on standing firm, residential towers, office blocks, and retail high streets are feeding on hopes of yield and capital gains.

The Airport That Changed the Landscape

The Noida International Airport (also known as Jewar Airport) is being constructed over an area of approximately 1334 hectares near Jewar, with an anticipated operational start in November 2025. It is planned to eventually handle between 60 million and 120 million passengers per year. 

YEIDA plans expressway, metro and RRTS corridors linked. The metro Aqua Line will be extended to Boraki and connected to a multimodal hub where rapid rail is proposed from Ghaziabad to Jewar by 2031.

A new 30-km Delhi–Jewar expressway has also been approved at a cost of ₹40,000 to ₹ 50,000 crore to ease traffic and support airport access; it is expected to be operational before the airport's launch.

Connectivity: The Catalyst

Connectivity encompasses not only roads, but also rail, rapid transit, metro services, and expressway spurs.

• The Noida Expressway connects Noida to Greater Noida and beyond. Work is underway for its extension to the Taj Economic Zone and the airport.

• The RRTS corridor from Ghaziabad to Jewar would provide airport access within 40–50 minutes from Delhi metro lines. It would interconnect with eight other organised metro networks, including Noida/YEIDA sectors of Sector 18, 21, and Jewar.

• The Bhangel Elevated Road, as projected to be completed by late 2025, will alleviate local congestion and provide better access to the expressway, facilitating traffic movements to sectors such as 140.

Now, what once used to be very far away is entering the city's orbit!

• Demand surge: Land worth ₹2,340 crore has been bought by developers and investors in just 12 months. Demand is not speculative—it's concrete and measured.

• Connectivity momentum: Every new expressway, metro spur, and RRTS link improves the accessibility of properties in the vicinity of the airport.
