Along with this, there will be connectivity to Jewar Airport from 4 expressways.
2.Industrial Hub
Film City, Medical Device Park, Electronic City, Apparel Park will also be built near the International Airport. Land has been allotted to 69 industrial units here in the Covid-era. Through which an investment of Rs 2300 crore is likely to come. Apart from this, the Aligarh node of the Defense Corridor is also close to Jewar. Simultaneously, a multi-modal logistics hub at Dadri and a multi-modal transport hub at Bodaki are being developed. Due to this large scale industrial development is expected in this area. And the service sector can get a big boom.
3.Film City
Film City is being developed on 1000 acres in Jewar itself. The government has recently approved a DPR of Rs 6000 crore. Films City is being built in Sector-21. Commercial projects, hotels, restaurants, amusement parks, film institutes etc. will be built in Films City. Film City is expected to start shooting by 2024. The film city will be constructed in three phases and by 2029, the film city will be fully completed. And by that time there will be an investment of about Rs 10 thousand crores.
4. Country’s Largest MRO Center
The country’s largest MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhauling) for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhauling will be built near Jewar Airport. On which investment of about 80 thousand crores is expected. At present the only MRO center in the country is in Nagpur which is quite small. Therefore, the maintenance of all aircraft is not known here. Most of the aircraft in India get their maintenance done in the same country to which they are flying. There are big MRO centers in Sri Lanka and other countries.
