Yamuna authority to develop electronic manufacturing cluster over 200 acres
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) informed that it will develop an electronic manufacturing cluster (EMC) on 200 acres in Sector 10, along the Yamuna Expressway, with an aim to boost economy and also create jobs for the youth. The Uttar Pradesh government has appointed Yamuna authority as the implementing agency that will participate under the Centre’s Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) scheme and set up an electronic manufacturing cluster after obtaining the requisite approvals. As the YEIDA scheme fulfils all parameters necessary under the scheme, the Union ministry of electronics and Information technology is likely to approve the project in the next 15-20 days, said YEIDA officials. The parameters are related to connectivity such as access to an expressway, airport, railway and metro, among others. As the Noida international greenfield airport is being developed along the Yamuna Expressway, and is set to become operational by end-2024, YEIDA project ticks all the boxes related to connectivity, said officials.
