Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) CEO Arunvir Singh said: “The state support agreement with Noida International Airport is a step further towards the development of a truly world-class airport in Uttar Pradesh. We are eagerly looking forward to the construction of the airport as it will bring more job opportunities in the state and will herald economic growth. We are confident that NIA will be the benchmark for a digital, sustainable, and state-of-the-art airport not only for the state but for the whole country.”
Set to become the first net zero-emission airport in India, NIA also plans to generate and use renewable energy for its operations.
There are also discussions between the airport and the state government on auxiliary measures such as VAT/GST exemptions, wheeling/transmission charges and cross-subsidy charges.
