The upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar, which will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 28th March, is expected to accelerate property price growth along the Yamuna Expressway corridor, with plot values projected to rise 28% and apartment prices by 22% by 2027, according to a research report by Square Yards.
Titled “Runway to Realty: How Noida International Airport is Reshaping Realty,” the study attributes the projected gains to ongoing infrastructure development, enhanced connectivity, and rising investor activity.
Between 2020 and 2025, the report notes that apartment prices in the region nearly tripled, while land values rose 1.5 times on average, with certain micro-markets recording up to fivefold growth.
“The Noida real estate market is currently at a pivotal moment, balancing its local roots with global ambitions, largely due to the upcoming Jewar International Airport,” said Tanuj Shori, Founder and CEO, Square Yards. “The airport is driving the development of a world-class aerotropolis, with significant long-term effects on housing demand, pricing, and investment activity.”
Scheduled for inauguration on March 28, 2026, the Noida International Airport is among India’s largest greenfield infrastructure projects, with an eventual capacity of 225 million passengers annually.
Square Yards’ report highlights that the airport is central to an integrated aerotropolis ecosystem combining aviation, industrial, logistics, commercial, and residential infrastructure. Connectivity improvements via expressways and multimodal transport networks are expected to further enhance investment appeal.
“Before construction accelerated on the Jewar airport project, Noida’s real estate market lagged behind other NCR markets due to delays and developer challenges. However, with visible progress on the airport and supporting infrastructure, there has been a clear shift in market perception,” said Sunita Mishra, Vice-President – Research & Insights, Square Yards.
Developers are now launching projects in high-impact zones to capture emerging demand, she added.
The report concludes that as the airport approaches operational readiness, the Yamuna Expressway corridor is likely to emerge as a high-growth real estate hub in the NCR, shifting from an end-user-driven market to a key investment destination.
