The Noida International Airport at Jewar is being developed as India's first net-zero airport with Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Green Campus certification. Designed to minimize energy, water, and waste consumption, it features an 83-acre solar farm generating over 51,900 megawatt-hours, fully electric airside operations, and EV charging in 20% of parking areas. Sustainable water use includes rainwater harvesting ponds, while waste is managed through segregation, recycling, and scientific treatment. A monthly environmental monitoring plan will track air, water, soil, and sewage quality, making the airport a benchmark in sustainable aviation infrastructure.
The Noida International Airport at Jewar is on course to become India's first net-zero airport certified as a Green Campus by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). The project is being developed in collaboration with Zurich Airport Group, highlighting a strong focus on sustainability alongside modern aviation infrastructure. Advertisement
The terminal building is designed to minimize energy, water, and waste usage. Around 20% of the parking space will feature fast and standard charging stations for electric vehicles, and all airside operational vehicles will be fully electric, supported by multiple charging points across the campus. This ensures a significant reduction in carbon emissions from airport operations.
A solar farm spanning 83 acres will generate approximately 51,966 megawatt-hours of renewable energy, providing large-scale power to the airport and aligning with the state's green energy goals. In addition, two rainwater harvesting ponds will supply sustainable water resources, and a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plant is planned to fuel vehicles and diesel generators with eco-friendly energy.
The airport will also implement a comprehensive waste management system focusing on segregation, recycling, and scientific treatment of solid and liquid waste. Environmental safety will be ensured through a monthly monitoring plan covering air, water, soil, waste, and sewage standards, reinforcing the airport's commitment to sustainability.
Construction of the airport has been ongoing for several years with Tata Projects Ltd selected as the EPC contractor. The project integrates long-term renewable energy agreements, including a 25-year partnership with Tata Power for solar and wind energy supply, ensuring a continuous clean energy framework.
Once operational, the airport is expected to support significant passenger capacity while contributing to regional economic growth and employment. Its sustainable infrastructure model sets a precedent for future airport projects, combining operational efficiency with environmental responsibility.
