Constituted under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Act of 1976, Noida – a city managed by the New Okhla Industrial Development - was set up to promote industrial growth in the area. Today, it’s one of Asia’s largest industrial townships which is well planned, well connected, integrated and the modern industrial city in India.
Noida is located in the Gautam Buddh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. It enjoys an extraordinary location as it lies about 20 km away from Greater Noida, the district headquarters, and New Delhi, the nation’s capital. Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh is only 457 km away from it.
From the beginning, Noida was meant to act as a push towards urbanization. The trend continues today with excellent infrastructure in the city. The Yamuna Expressway, Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and DND Flyover are just some of the infrastructural marvels in the city. Noida also has a Film City that houses several news channels, media organizations and institutes offering media education.

Noida Infrastructure
One of the most modern cities of India, Noida boasts of excellent and unparalleled[P1][P2] infrastructure. The implementation of the city’s development agenda is on the fast lane, despite already having world-class infrastructure. More expressways have been proposed, Delhi Metro’s extension to other areas in Noida and the construction of a helipad are among the proposed projects.
In an attempt to move forward infrastructurally, Noida doesn’t leave the basic infrastructure development behind. For instance, to reduce the problem of pollution, Noida is going to see a host of CNG plants being set up in the city. Since Noida is such a major IT hub, the city administration is planning to make the entire area Wi-Fi-enabled. Such measures along with more advanced developments are making Noida a model city especially in infrastructure.
