New Delhi, Mar 10 (UNI) The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Tuesday approved a revised total capital cost of Rs 3,630.77 crore for the construction of a greenfield connectivity corridor linking the upcoming Noida International Airport with the Delhi–Faridabad–Ballabhgarh–Sohna spur of the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway.
Announcing the decision after the Cabinet meeting, Minister of Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw said the project would be implemented on a Hybrid Annuity Mode and executed across Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. “The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the revised capital cost of Rs 3,630.77 crore for the construction of greenfield connectivity to Jewar International Airport from the Delhi–Faridabad–Ballabhgarh–Sohna spur of the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway,” Vaishnaw told reporters during a press briefing on Cabinet decisions.
The proposed 31.42-km corridor is expected to provide direct and high-speed road connectivity from South Delhi as well as key urban centres such as Faridabad and Gurugram to the upcoming international airport at Jewar. Officials said the project would help improve logistics efficiency and support economic growth across the National Capital Region.
According to the government, the corridor will intersect major transport infrastructure, including the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, the Yamuna Expressway, and the Dedicated Freight Corridor, enabling seamless multimodal connectivity. Authorities said this convergence of road and freight infrastructure would significantly enhance regional transportation efficiency.
About 11 km of the project will be developed as an elevated highway forming a critical segment of the greenfield link between the DND–Ballabhgarh bypass and the Jewar airport corridor connected to the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway. Officials described the elevated stretch as a key infrastructure component designed to support high-density urban expansion and future transport requirements.
The additional cost of constructing the elevated section has been estimated at Rs 689.24 crore, of which the Government of Haryana has agreed to contribute Rs 450 crore. The corridor passes through areas identified for urban expansion under the Faridabad Master Plan 2031, and officials said the project would help unlock the development potential of the surrounding region.
The government said the expressway link will play a strategic role in strengthening connectivity between the Jewar airport and the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway network while supporting urban transformation, improving logistics movement, and facilitating sustainable development in Faridabad and nearby parts of the National Capital Region.
