Lucknow: In a bid to make Uttar Pradesh an investment hub on both eastern and western freight corridors that pass though the state, the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government plans to invest around Rs 15,000-20,000 crore in its proposed greenfield international airport at Jewar near Greater Noida, which will be third largest airport in the world. Besides, the government is also working on another international airport at Kushinagar to attract more investors globally, according to a top official in the UP government.
The government’s move is part of the state’s ambitious target of UP touching the $1-trillion economy by 2024. UP being the largest state in the country, also wants to contribute its pie to Prime Minister Modi’s vision of turning India to a $5-trillion economy in the next five years.
