The Uttar Pradesh State Cabinet has approved renaming Jewar Airport after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced. The decision underscores the government's acknowledgement of the airport as a landmark infrastructure project for the state.
CM Adityanath described the airport project as a major gift to Uttar Pradesh, crediting Prime Minister Modi's role in facilitating its development. The renaming reflects the state government's gratitude for the project, which is expected to boost connectivity and economic growth in the region.
The Jewar Airport, located in Gautam Buddh Nagar district near Delhi, has been under development as part of efforts to augment aviation infrastructure in the National Capital Region. Once operational, the airport is anticipated to serve as a key transportation hub for northern India, supporting both passenger and cargo operations.
The move aligns with broader infrastructure initiatives undertaken by the Modi government across states, with several projects receiving central support. The renaming follows similar practices where major public infrastructure projects have been designated after national leaders.
