The government plans to acquire 1,426ha for the project.

Almost 1,200ha of private land spanning six villages in Gautam Buddha Nagar district will be acquired.

The cabinet also gave its approval for prospective disbursal of Rs8.95bn for the rehabilitation of the impacted private landowners.

On 6 July 2017, the Central Government gave site clearance for the airport.

“By January 2020, the contract is likely to be awarded to the selected companies.”

In October 2017, the Union Home Ministry granted its no objection certificate (NoC), while in December 2017, Rs18bn was allocated by the UP Government for land acquisition.

Last year, the Airports Authority of India gave its in-principle approval for the project.

The project was conceived in 2000 but had to be postponed due to regulatory and clearances issues.
