UP Govt prepares plan to turn Greater Noida into hub of multi-modal logistics

NEW DELHI : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh has been preparing a plant to turn the Greater Noida into a hub of world-class multi-modal logistics.

According to the state government, the Multi-Modal Logistics Hub (MMLH) and Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) is to be built in Greater Noida with an investment of Rs 7,725 crore.

The connectivity of the Integrated Industrial Township to Jewar Airport will make this possible, the government said.

“When the airport becomes functional, the multi-modal transport hub and multi-modal logistics hub will also be connected to the Jewar airport. DMIC Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida Limited (DMIC-IITGNL) has prepared a plan for these three projects which is ready to be implemented soon. These three projects will be connected not only to the country but to all the countries of the world through airports,” IANS quoted a government spokesman as saying.

This investment in this sector will not only give world-class recognition to Noida but will also provide employment to more than two lakh people, he added.

Detailing out the government plans, senior officials of the Industrial Development Department (IDD) said three major projects are being developed under the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) in Greater Noida. The first is an integrated township, the second is a multi-modal transport hub and the third is a multi-modal logistics hub, they stated.

PM recently linked Gr Noida projects with Gati Shakti Yojana

Recently, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi gave a new impetus to these three projects by linking them with Gati Shakti Yojana. The state government has also developed a blueprint to connect these three projects with the much-awaited Jewar Airport.

These three projects will be inter-connected, while two routes have been suggested to connect them with the airport. The first route will be connected to the GT Road with the logistic hub. For this, about 2.5 km of road will be widened on GT Road near the logistics hub. It is proposed to make six lanes from the existing two lanes.

For this project, a new authority – Integrated Industrial Township of Greater Noida Limited (IIT GNL) – has been formed by the state government in Greater Noida.
