Noida International Airport latest news: Jewar MLA Dhirendra Singh met Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and sought a high-speed rail connectivity to Noida International Airport (NIA).

Noida International Airport rail connectivity
In a letter to the Railway Minister, Dhirendra Singh also sought expedited approval and execution of the proposed new railway line in the region. He further requested consideration for the stoppage of major trains at Chola railway station.
“We, on behalf of the people of Jewar and Anupshahr constituencies, would like to formally submit our request for the comprehensive development and upgradation of Chola Railway Station into a modern, multimodal transport hub, aligned with the upcoming Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport).
Given the strategic importance of the airport—one of the largest infrastructure projects in the country—the role of Chola Railway Station becomes pivotal in ensuring seamless regional and national connectivity. Strengthening this node will significantly benefit not only Gautam Buddh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts but the entire Western Uttar Pradesh region,” he said.
