Several mega projects, such as a medical device park, semiconductor park, Olympic park, electronic city, film city, central business district (CBD), and an aerotropolis around Noida international airport, are part of Master Plan-2041, said officials.

“Commercial business development is also proposed on 480 hectares to support city level business and shopping facilities. and anticipating future international sporting events in India, Yeida has also planned an Olympic park, offering comprehensive sporting facilities and accommodations for athletes,” said a Yeida official, asking not to be named.
