Greater Noida Data Centre Township: Yogi Adityanath's Rs 2,500 Cr MoU Near Jewar Airport Explained

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced a major data centre township project during his Singapore visit on February 23, 2026, as part of three MoUs worth Rs 6,650 crore with Universal Success Group. This includes a Rs 2,500-crore hyperscale data centre park on 10 acres in Greater Noida, alongside an international theme-based township near Jewar Airport and a logistics park.

Project Details

The data centre park will feature a 40MW IT load capacity and is scheduled to start construction in 2028, supporting UP's ambition to become a data hub with policy incentives and enhanced digital infrastructure. Combined with the Rs 3,500-crore 100-acre township (YEIDA-allotted land, starting 2027), these aim to create over 20,000 jobs in housing, logistics, and tech near Noida International Airport.​

Broader Context

This aligns with UP's 2026-27 budget targeting Rs 30,000 crore in data centre investments, eight parks with 900MW capacity, and a 5GW goal by 2030 via a new State Data Centre Authority. It positions Greater Noida as a tech corridor, leveraging Jewar Airport connectivity like the Semiconductor Park nearby.
