Project Overview

The Faridabad Jewar Airport Greenfield Expressway is a 31.42 km, six-lane access-controlled expressway under construction by NHAI, under Bharatmala Pariyojna Phase I. It links Sector 65 in Faridabad (Haryana) with Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport) in Uttar Pradesh. Upon its full completion (expected by April 2027), the expressway will reduce travel time from 90 minutes to 15-20 minutes. 

The project is one of three major road connectivity links being built to serve the Noida International Airport — India's largest greenfield airport project under construction. The other include the Yamuna Expressway (existing; provides Agra and East UP connectivity), a 74 km Ganga Expressway link (under development), and the broader DND-Faridabad-Sohna Highway, of which the Faridabad–Jewar spur is a key terminal element.

The expressway forms a spur of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway’s Faridabad-Sohna. It intersects the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (also known as the KGP or Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal Expressway) at Mohana Village, where an interchange is being built, providing access to traffic from northern India approaching Jewar Airport via the Eastern Peripheral Expressway without needing to enter Delhi. 

Technical Specifications

Project Background

The need for a dedicated expressway connecting Faridabad and South Delhi to the Noida International Airport became evident as the Jewar Airport project progressed through planning and approvals in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

NHAI announced in August 2021 that a 31 km spur would be constructed from the Jewar Airport to the Faridabad bypass road on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway system. The project was placed within the Bharatmala Pariyojna Phase I framework. It was an extension of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway's Faridabad-Ballabhgarh-Sohna spur. The tender was awarded to Apco Infratech Pvt. Ltd. in July 2022 at the original project cost of INR 2,414.67 crore under the Hybrid Annuity Model. 

The expressway witnessed an addition of approximately 11 km of elevated corridor along the route in March 2026. Elevated section reduce at-grade land acquisition requirements, noise and disruption to adjacent communities, and allow the expressway to pass over intersecting local roads and rail lines without at-grade crossings that would compromise access control.

The Government of Haryana, recognising the economic benefit to Faridabad and South Haryana, agreed to fund Rs 450 crore of the Rs 689.24 crore elevated corridor cost.

The expressway has become particularly urgent given the accelerated timeline for the Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport). IndiGo announced it will be the first airline to begin flight services from Noida Airport. The airport was delayed from its original December 2024 target to approximately 2026, giving the expressway a narrowing window to be ready before the airport opens to full commercial operations. 

Stakeholder Details

Faridabad Jewar Expressway Current Status & Completion Date

The contractor, Apco Infratech Pvt. Ltd., began construction on June 22, 2023. As of March 2026, approximately 1,200 of the 3,000 required piles had been completed, and girder casting for the superstructure had begun. NHAI's current target for full project completion is April 2027, with some sections expected to become operational in 2026. The original June 2025 completion target was not met. 

Faridabad Jewar Expressway Route

The Faridabad Jewar Greenfield Expressway connects Faridabad with Jewar Airport. It starts at Sector 65 in Ballabhgarh, Faridabad (Haryana), with Dayanatpur village at the Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport) in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. It passes through key regions like Ballabhgarh, Palwal, and Dankaur, integrating key industrial and logistics hubs. 

Upon its completion, it connects with the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and the Yamuna Expressway for faster interstate travel. Its proximity to the Faridabad Metro Line and the upcoming Delhi-Varanasi Bullet Train corridor enhances multi-modal connectivity. 

Furthermore, the expressway links major industrial areas, including Ballabhgarh, Palwal, Prithla, and Dankaur, improving logistics and freight movement. The expressway’s extension plan involves connectivity to Sohna and Gurugram for integrated expressway access across the NCR belt.
