New Delhi, March 28, 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the Noida International Airport at Jewar in Uttar Pradesh.
Expressing his pride and joy on the occasion, the Prime Minister said that India’s largest state has now become one of the states with the highest number of international airports.
Modi shared that he felt doubly proud , first, for having laid the foundation stone of this airport and now inaugurating it, and second, because the name of this grand airport is linked to Uttar Pradesh.
“This is the state that chose me as its representative and made me a Member of Parliament, and its identity is now associated with this magnificent airport,” remarked Modi.
Highlighting the far-reaching impact of the new airport, Modi said that the Noida airport will benefit a vast region encompassing Agra, Mathura, Aligarh, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Etawah, Bulandshahr, and Faridabad.
He emphasised that the airport will bring numerous new opportunities for the farmers, small and medium enterprises, and the youth of western Uttar Pradesh.
“Aircraft will fly from here to the world, and this airport will also become a symbol of a developed Uttar Pradesh taking flight,” said Modi, extending his heartfelt congratulations to the people of the state, especially western UP.
Speaking about the current global situation, the Prime Minister observed that the entire world is deeply concerned today, with a war raging in West Asia for over a month, creating crises of essential commodities including food, petrol, diesel, gas, and fertilizers in many countries.
He noted that India imports a very large quantity of crude oil and gas from the conflict-affected region.
“The Government is taking every possible step to ensure that the burden of this crisis does not fall on ordinary families and farmers,” affirmed Modi.
