YIAPL CEO Christoph Schnellmann was quoted in the Times of India as saying: “We are extremely delighted to partner with SBI, the country’s largest bank, for financing the development of the NIA.

“The entire loan of Rs 3,725 crore has been underwritten by SBI on a door-to-door loan tenor of 20 years.

“We look forward to working closely with SBI to develop NIA as a world-class airport in India. The project will not only boost the Indian economy but will also help in employment generation in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi NCR region.”

In March, the state government of Uttar Pradesh (UP) has signed a state support agreement with Noida International Airport in India.

Under the deal, the UP-state Government will create and improve surface access to the airport. It will also develop utilities essential to running the airport, sustain law and order and provide the necessary clearances to build and run the airport.
