Film City in Noida
The UP State Government has announced a 1,000-acre Film City in Noida. Shailendra Bhatia, OSD, YEIDA, informed that YEIDA had sent a proposal to the state government after it identified the land in its Sector 21 along the expressway. The proposed site is just an hour away from New Delhi and close to the upcoming international airport at Jewar, which is going to be the biggest greenfield airport in Asia. The site of the project would come up as a 'Dedicated Infotainment Zone' equipped with all the world-class civil, public and technological facilities. The Film City itself would cover around 780 acres of the area and the rest 220-acre land would be developed as the commercial hub. The project gained momentum after a number of film personalities had welcomed the project which CM Yogi had announced while reviewing the progress of the ongoing development projects of the Meerut division.

Art director Nitin Desai offered to set up an entire Film City on the lines of what he had done in Mumbai. He informed that about 80 per cent of technicians and workforce in Mumbai film industry is from UP and after the industry in UP itself, the availability of manpower would never be a problem.
