The budget has been assigned for this project and the work has begun in this regard. The fund has been passed on behalf of the State Government. The local administration has started its process of acquiring land.
Proposal For Runway From Six to Eight
The Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) is preparing a proposal in which to increase the runways of Jewar airport from six to eight. The proposal will be sent to the state government for approval only after the preparation of land acquisition for the project.
