Noida International Airport, slated to become India's largest, is making significant strides toward sustainability with a commitment to zero carbon emissions. An eight-acre forest and 133 hectares of dedicated green space are integral to the airport's vision, ensuring a greener future for aviation.

Located in Jewar, Gautam Buddh Nagar district, approximately 75 km from Delhi, the airport is poised to be NCR's second global gateway.
