Cargo capacity and infrastructure development
A state-of-the-art dedicated cargo terminal has been developed within the airport premises, with an initial capacity of around 2 million metric tonnes. The target is to expand this capacity to 8 million metric tonnes in the future.
Additionally, in the initial phase, cargo handling capacity of about 0.25 million tonnes per year has been developed, which will be scaled up to approximately 1.5 million tonnes annually.
Spread across nearly 80,000 square metres, the cargo area is being equipped with modern technology and world-class facilities to ensure international-standard logistics services.
Multimodal connectivity and logistics efficiency
Noida International Airport is being developed as a multimodal cargo hub, integrating air transport with road and potential rail connectivity to facilitate seamless movement of goods.
Construction of dedicated cargo routes is underway to ensure fast and uninterrupted transport directly from industrial units to the airport.
Boost to industrial clusters and exports
Rapidly developing industrial clusters in the Yamuna Expressway region, including electronics, manufacturing, e-commerce, warehousing, and pharmaceuticals, will directly benefit from this cargo hub.
Products from industries located around the expressway will reach international markets faster, giving a boost to exports and reducing production costs.
Strengthening supply chain and industry confidence
With the dedicated cargo terminal and specialised routes, logistics processes will become more efficient and time-bound. This will strengthen the supply chain and help industries ensure timely deliveries.
Such infrastructure will enable Uttar Pradesh to move swiftly towards a 'just-in-time' supply model, enhancing the confidence of global companies.
