New industrial Hathras hub to be linked to Jewar airport

The authority said the city’s location within the catchment area of the Noida International Airport , along with connectivity through the Yamuna Expressway and other state highways is expected to make it an attractive destination for manufacturing and logistics investments.

It is also being planned as a satellite town for Agra to ease industrial pressure on the city.

Officials said the project would build on Hathras’ existing industrial base of more than 10,000 registered MSME units. Industries operating under the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme, including Hathras’ renowned hing (asafoetida) and gulal manufacturers, are expected to benefit from export-oriented infrastructure and modern packaging facilities.

The master plan proposes dedicated industrial clusters for food processing, dairy, hosiery, glass beads, brass
jewellery, machine tools and electric vehicle components.

In a later phase, YEIDA plans to attract investments in advanced manufacturing sectors such as medical equipment, surgical devices and power grid machinery.

According to the authority officials, work on the Detailed Project Report (DPR) and land acquisition has begun. Once completed, the project is expected to generate large-scale direct and indirect employment and position Hathras as a new industrial growth centre in western Uttar Pradesh.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who was in Hathras on Sunday, inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 143 development projects worth over Rs 548 crore.
