Big Boost for Noida Film City! PM Modi Likely to Lay Foundation Stone for CM Yogi’s Ambitious Project—Connectivity Work Begins
The ambitious Noida Film City project is making headlines once again. Groundwork has officially started, and preparations are in full swing for the foundation stone ceremony. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is leading the initiative, which is set to position Uttar Pradesh as a key player in the Indian film industry. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the event and give the project a major boost.
Connectivity Boost: Yamuna Expressway Access Ramps Underway
To improve access to the upcoming film zone, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has begun work on building direct ramps. They plan to build four ramps at the 24-kilometer point on the expressway, and two are already under construction.
This new connectivity will make travel to the site faster for filmmakers, workers, and tourists. The first phase of construction will cost ₹3.24 crore.
Film Hub Near Jewar Airport Adds to Location Advantage
Located just 15 minutes from the Noida International Airport in Jewar, the film city is set to become a prime destination for film productions. The land, situated in Sector 21 of YEIDA, is currently vacant but holds immense potential.
Being close to an international airport will make it more accessible for filmmakers and production teams from around the world.
Boney Kapoor to Lead Development of Movie City in UP
Veteran filmmaker Boney Kapoor will lead the development through his company, Bayview Bhutanese Film City Pvt. Ltd. Kapoor has already met with YEIDA CEO Dr. Arun Vir Singh to discuss the finalization of layout plans and other groundwork.
Although YEIDA has approved the layout, the internal development map still needs approval. Construction will begin as soon as they receive clearance.
Foundation Ceremony Awaits PM Modi’s Schedule
The foundation stone ceremony, originally planned for April 6, has been delayed due to scheduling conflicts with the Prime Minister’s Office. CM Yogi requested PM Modi to inaugurate the project, but a final date has yet to be confirmed.
Preparations are underway, and YEIDA officials are eagerly awaiting the Prime Minister’s confirmation for the ceremony.
Mega Cinema Project Set to Create Lakhs of Jobs
YEIDA officials expect the project to create lakhs of jobs in the region, including opportunities for artists, technicians, and support staff. This large-scale job creation will help boost the local economy and support the youth in the area.
The government aims to establish a full-fledged creative ecosystem that will foster talent across various media sectors.
YEIDA to Benefit from Long-Term Film City Revenues
Under the agreement, the developer has secured a 90-year license, and YEIDA will receive 18% of the revenue generated from the film city. This revenue will fund local infrastructure projects and community development.
This model ensures that the benefits of the film city extend to the wider region.
A Game-Changer for India’s Entertainment Landscape
Once operational, the Noida-based film city will rival major production centers like Mumbai and Hyderabad. With cutting-edge studios, modern facilities, and residential areas, the project aims to attract filmmakers and studios globally.
The film city will not only provide state-of-the-art facilities but also offer a self-sustaining environment for the industry to thrive.
Conclusion
The Noida Film City is quickly moving toward becoming a transformative force in India’s entertainment industry. With the groundwork complete, essential infrastructure underway, and the foundation stone ceremony expected soon, the project is on the verge of becoming a reality. Once completed, it will generate employment and solidify Uttar Pradesh’s position as a leading film production hub.
