Noida International Airport Inauguration Highlights: ‘India requires significant crude oil and gas…,’ PM Modi

“The Congress-led government at the Centre and the previous Uttar Pradesh government didn't even allow the foundation of this airport. From 2004 to 2014, it remained buried in files. The Samajwadi Party didn't allow any work to happen in Uttar Pradesh. But as soon as the BJP-NDA government came to power, the foundation was laid, and now the airport is being inaugurated. Additionally, two major freight corridors of the country meet in Dadri, enhancing the region's connectivity,” the PM said at the inauguration.

Anshuman Magazine of CBRE Group said "The Jewar Airport is a landmark infrastructure project, not just for the NCR but for India's broader economic geography," as per a report by ANI.

Yash Miglani of Migsun Group said, "The launch of Noida International Airport is a defining moment for this region and will unlock tremendous potential for growth in terms of commercial and retail developments."

“Those who make false statements for politics will get some points in the political debate, but the people of the country will never forgive those who cause harm to the country. Even during the pandemic, some people spread rumours and lied about vaccines, so that the government's work becomes difficult, and the country suffers losses. What was the result? During the elections, the people rejected such politics,” the PM said.

“I had a long discussion with all the Chief Ministers of the country yesterday, and it was a very positive discussion... We have to face this crisis with calm, patience, and unity together. This is a crisis that is causing problems all over the world. We have to worry about our country the most. And this is the biggest strength of us Indians,” Modi said at the inauguration.

“To make 'Viksit Bharat', everyone's efforts are very important. 140 crore Indians must work hard and face the global crises together,” says PM Modi

“I would like to thank my farmers for one more thing: the ethanol produced from your sugarcane has reduced the country's dependence on crude oil. If ethanol production and its blending in petrol had not increased, the country would have had to import 4.5 crore barrels of crude oil from abroad every year," says PM Narendra Modi.

“I urge all citizens to remain calm, patient and united to face this crisis together. This is a situation that is creating challenges across the world, and we must focus on safeguarding our country’s interests,” says PM Modi.

“In any country, an airport is not just an ordinary facility. Airports also give flights to progress. Before 2014, there were only 74 airports in the country. Today, there are more than 160 airports in the country. Now, apart from the big cities, air connectivity is reaching even the smallest cities in the country. The previous governments believed that air travel should only be for the rich. But the BJP government has made air travel easy for the common Indians,” says PM Modi at Jewar airport inauguration.

“The nation has benefited from ethanol, and the farmers have also benefited greatly. About ₹1.5 lakh crore in foreign currency has been saved; without ethanol, this money would have gone abroad,” says PM Modi.

“I would like to thank my farmers for one more thing: the ethanol produced from your sugarcane has reduced the country's dependence on crude oil. If ethanol production and its blending in petrol had not increased, the country would have had to import 4.5 crore barrels of crude oil from abroad every year," says PM Narendra Modi.

“Farmers play an important role in the economy of this region. Today, I would like to specially thank my farmers who have given their land for the construction of this project... With your contribution, a new era of development is about to begin in this entire region. The expansion of modern connectivity will strengthen the possibilities for food processing in western UP. Now, agricultural products will be able to enter global markets more effectively,” says PM Modi.

“The Noida, which was once left to its own due to superstition, out of fear of losing elections, previous rulers were afraid of coming here. I remember when the Samajwadi Party government was in power, and I made a plan to visit Noida; the Chief Minister was so scared that he did not follow through with that plan. People tried to scare me too... I said, 'I am going to seek the blessings of this place, which will give me the strength to serve until the end of my life.' Now, that area is ready to welcome the whole world. This entire region is fulfilling the selfless resolve of India,” says PM Modi.

Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO – India, Southeast Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE said, "The Jewar Airport is a landmark infrastructure project, not just for the NCR but for India's broader economic geography. Airport-led development has consistently been one of the most powerful catalysts for real estate growth in the country, driving demand across commercial, logistics, hospitality, healthcare, education and residential segments within a wide catchment.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "Today's event is a symbol of India's new attitude. Everyone can see how worried the world is. There has been a war going on in West Asia for the past month. Due to the war, food, petrol, diesel, gas, coal, and other essential goods have been affected. There is a crisis all around, and every country is trying to face it. Our India is also fighting this crisis with all its might, relying on the strength of its citizens. While India requires significant crude oil and gas from the affected areas, the government is taking every step to ensure that this crisis does not become a burden on ordinary families and our farmers."

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath says, “...On behalf of the 25 crore people of Uttar Pradesh, I heartily welcome and congratulate the Prime Minister at this grand and warm ceremony for taking Uttar Pradesh's growth to new heights through the Noida International Airport…”
