New Delhi, March 10 The Cabinet approved on Tuesday the revised total capital cost of ₹3,630.77 crore for developing road connectivity to the upcoming Jewar international airport in Uttar Pradesh.
The proposed 31.42-kilometer-long project corridor will provide direct and high-speed connectivity from South Delhi, Faridabad, and Gurugram to the airport, thereby promoting economic growth and logistical efficiency across the National Capital Region (NCR), an official release said.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the revised total capital cost of ₹3,630.77 crore for the construction of greenfield connectivity to the airport from the Delhi-Faridabad-Ballabhgarh-Sohna Spur of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on a Hybrid Annuity Mode in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
The airport, which has received an aerodrome license from the aviation regulator DGCA, is expected to start operations soon.
According to the release, the proposed corridor intersects the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, the Yamuna Expressway, and the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC), enabling multimodal transport convergence.
"Approximately 11 km of this project is to be developed as an elevated highway, which forms a critical segment of the greenfield connectivity between the DND-Ballabhgarh Bypass and the Jewar International Airport, linking it to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.
"This corridor traverses the area earmarked for high-density urban development and future infrastructure expansion under the Faridabad Master Plan, 2031. The additional cost of the proposed elevated corridor is ₹689.24 crore, and the government of Haryana has agreed to bear ₹450 crore for the elevated corridor," the release said.
