A draft of the master plan for the proposed Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR) or the New Noida area, which will be built as a satellite city of the region as part of the Invest in UP initiative, will be presented for consideration at the next board meeting. Because of its location at the end of the Western DFC and its role as a link between the Eastern and Western DFCs, the proposed draught to develop the nearly 200 square kilometres of land area between Dadri in Noida and Khurja in Bulandsehahr along the DFC feeder link will be implemented in four phases.
“As the master plan is nearing its completion, it is proposed to be presented in the next board meeting, which could be held in the next couple of weeks,” a senior official said. If accepted by the board, the plan would then be forwarded to the state government for approval. The plan which is being prepared by the School of Planning and Architecture at the behest of Noida Development Authority will include a special economic zone (SEZ) to attract industrial units from the FMCG, Agro and Food Processing sectors. The proposed plan is also set to have provisions for developing skill development centres, knowledge hubs, logistics hubs and integrated townships.
