The May 15 launch for domestic flights is no longer feasible, with full Phase 1 readiness now unlikely before July, as construction delays and regulatory clearances persist.

Overview

  • The Noida International Airport project has missed its third deadline, originally set for May 15, 2025, due to incomplete construction and pending approvals.
  • Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh has directed stakeholders to submit a revised timeline within 15 days and emphasized maintaining construction quality.
  • Key infrastructure, including the terminal building (80% complete), water and sewage plants (40% complete), and navigational systems, remains unfinished.
  • Regulatory hurdles, including a pending aerodrome licence from DGCA and security clearance from BCAS, are delaying operational approval by at least 45 days post-compliance.
  • The Uttar Pradesh government has been imposing Rs 10 lakh/day penalties on YIAPL since January 1, 2025, to enforce accountability and expedite progress.
