A proposed road connection between the Noida International Airport region and the Ganga Expressway has moved to the EPC tender stage, with the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) inviting bids in two packages covering a combined 74.467 km.
For residents tracking the growing road network around Jewar, the project’s current status is important. The link expressway has been tendered, but it should not yet be described as under construction. Contractor selection and the start of physical construction have not been confirmed.
UPEIDA’s official project list identifies the scheme as a link expressway from Jewar Airport to Ganga Expressway via Bulandshahr.

What has UPEIDA tendered?
The proposed link has been divided into two Engineering, Procurement and Construction, or EPC, packages.
Package I: Gautam Buddh Nagar to Bulandshahr
Package I covers the first 24.467 km, from Bhaipur Brahman in Gautam Buddh Nagar district to Bichaula in Bulandshahr district.
The procurement identifiers are:
- Tender ID:
2026_UPEID_1162898_1 - Tender reference:
UPEIDA/2026/3901/JEWAR_I - Chainage: Km 0 to Km 24.467
Package II: Bichaula to Bahapur
Package II continues from Bichaula to Bahapur in Bulandshahr district and covers the remaining 50 km.
The procurement identifiers are:
- Tender ID:
2026_UPEID_1162922_1 - Tender reference:
UPEIDA/2026/3901/JEWAR_II - Chainage: Km 24.467 to Km 74.467
Together, the two packages cover 74.467 km.
The tender references can be checked on the official Uttar Pradesh eProcurement Portal.
What does EPC tender stage mean?
An EPC tender is a procurement process through which an authority seeks a contractor responsible for engineering, procurement and construction under the terms of the contract.
But an EPC tender is not the same as construction starting.
The broad sequence normally moves through:
Tender invited → bids received → bid evaluation → contractor selection → contract award → construction
For the Jewar Airport–Ganga Expressway link, the verified position at present is that UPEIDA has invited bids for the two EPC packages.
Tender schedules can also change through corrigenda. Anyone tracking bidding deadlines should therefore check the latest tender documents on the official UP eProcurement portal rather than relying on an older published date.
Why does the link matter for the Noida Airport region?
The project is intended to create a road connection between the Jewar Airport side and the Ganga Expressway through Bulandshahr.
For Noida and Greater Noida residents, it is useful to see this as another part of the wider airport-connectivity network rather than as a replacement for the existing Yamuna Expressway route.
Residents travelling between Noida, Greater Noida and the airport can refer to Pulse of Noida’s Noida Airport connectivity guide for the broader road and public-transport picture.
The new UPEIDA corridor is designed for a different regional movement: linking the airport side towards the Ganga Expressway network through Bulandshahr.
At the current tender stage, PON is not assigning a travel-time saving to the proposed road because the final operational journey time has not been officially established.
This is not the Yamuna Expressway–EPE interchange
Several road projects around the Noida Airport region are progressing at different stages, and their names can easily become confusing.
The Jewar Airport–Ganga Expressway link is separate from the Yamuna Expressway–Eastern Peripheral Expressway interchange.
That interchange is designed to create direct connectivity between two existing expressways. Pulse of Noida is separately tracking the Yamuna Expressway–EPE interchange and its airport-connectivity role.
The Ganga Expressway link, by contrast, is a separate UPEIDA road corridor being procured through the two EPC packages described above.
It is also separate from the Sector 94–Gharbara corridor
Another proposed connectivity project being discussed in the Noida–Greater Noida region is the Yamuna-side corridor from Sector 94 towards Greater Noida.
Pulse of Noida has been tracking the Sector 94–Gharbara road corridor.
That is a separate project with its own planning and approval process.
Keeping these projects separate is important because they involve different implementing agencies, routes and development stages.
Airport connectivity is developing on several fronts
The road network around Noida International Airport is evolving through multiple projects rather than one single corridor.
Alongside expressway and road proposals, a regional rapid-transit connection between Ghaziabad and Jewar is also under consideration. Pulse of Noida has explained the current status of the proposed Ghaziabad–Jewar Namo Bharat corridor.
That project, too, must be understood according to its current approval status rather than being treated as operational or under construction before the necessary stages are completed.
For residents, the useful distinction across all these projects is simple:
Proposed is not approved. Approved is not tendered. Tendered is not under construction. Under construction is not operational.
What happens next?
For the Jewar Airport–Ganga Expressway link, the next milestones worth watching are:
- Completion of the bidding process
- Technical and financial bid evaluation
- Selection of successful bidders
- Formal contract award
- Confirmation of land availability for construction
- Start of physical work
- Contractual construction schedule
- Completion and commissioning
PON will update the project status when these milestones are officially confirmed.
What residents should take away
The proposed connection between the Noida International Airport region and the Ganga Expressway has reached an important procurement stage.
UPEIDA has divided the 74.467-km Jewar Airport–Ganga Expressway via Bulandshahr link into two EPC packages.
The first covers 24.467 km from Bhaipur Brahman to Bichaula, while the second continues 50 km from Bichaula to Bahapur.
For now, however, the correct status remains:
EPC bids have been invited. A contractor has not yet been confirmed, and construction should not yet be described as having started.
