YEIDA to develop Hathras into a hi-tech industrial and residential satellite town near Noida International Airport, boosting manufacturing, exports and connectivity.

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has started work on developing Hathras into a hi-tech industrial and residential satellite town.

Among the four major urban nodes being developed by YEIDA, namely Aligarh, Mathura, Agra and Hathras, the latter has been specifically identified as a key industrial manufacturing hub. This is part of Phase II development of the Yamuna Expressway and the Master Plan 2041.

According to an official statement, “More than 50 villages in Hathras and Sasni tehsils have been notified for the mega project, covering an area of nearly 4,000 hectares (approximately 10,000 acres). To ensure systematic development of this state-of-the-art city, RV Engineering Consultants Limited has been appointed as the planning consultant. The project is being planned using GIS-based mapping technology."

As part of the plan, the Hathras Urban Centre will be developed across four major zones – Industrial zone (primarily dedicated to factories and heavy manufacturing units), Residential areas (featuring modern townships, apartments and affordable housing for the workforce), Commercial and Logistics Hub (dedicated spaces for shopping malls, commercial towers, hotels and large warehouses), and Green Belt (more than 15 per cent of the total planning area will be preserved as green and open spaces to maintain ecological balance).

The proposed Hathras Urban Centre falls within the catchment area of the Noida International Airport (Jewar), for which YEIDA is developing an express road network. “The city is also located close to the Yamuna Expressway and enjoys excellent connectivity through National Highway-93 (Agra-Aligarh), the Bareilly-Mathura Highway and State Highway-33. It is also being envisioned as a satellite town of Agra, helping ease the industrial burden on the Taj city."

The statement stated that Hathras’ globally renowned asafoetida (hing) and gulal industries will receive international-standard packaging and export hub facilities as part of One District One Product (ODOP) initiative.

“Special industrial blocks will also be developed for ready-made garments (hosiery), glass beads, brass jewellery (payals), machine tools and electric vehicle components. In the next phase, global companies engaged in advanced manufacturing, including medical and surgical equipment and power grid machinery, will also be invited to establish operations," it added.
