Noida’s second expressway is a proposed elevated, access-controlled corridor along the Yamuna Pushta (embankment), planned as an alternative mobility spine to the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway.
The planned alignment runs from Kalindi Kunj / Okhla Barrage to Sector 150, with onward connectivity towards Pari Chowk and the Yamuna Expressway, covering nearly 30 km overall.
No. As of 2026, the project is under review and has not received final statutory approvals, especially the critical irrigation department NOC.
The corridor runs along a flood-control embankment. Authorities are concerned that construction could affect: Flood safety Drainage during monsoons Structural stability of the Yamuna embankment Without this clearance, execution cannot begin.
Both UPEIDA and NHAI have been discussed as possible executing agencies. However, no final decision has been announced yet.
NH classification could allow NHAI funding and execution, improving financial feasibility. However, NH status does not automatically resolve embankment safety concerns.
Talks have been ongoing for years, but key milestones include: September 2024: NH classification discussions April 2025: Reports of a six-lane elevated corridor December 2025: Project stall due to NOC refusal January 2026: High-level review meeting in Lucknow

No. Until clearances, DPR approval, and execution timelines are finalised, buyers should base decisions on current connectivity and livability, not future infrastructure headlines.
Historically, infrastructure announcements create sentiment-led spikes, not sustainable appreciation. Real value creation begins after construction visibly starts.
Yes. The proposal aligns with broader mobility and airport-linked growth planning, but remains at a planning-stage infrastructure level, not delivery-stage.
