GREATER NOIDA: The proposed Inter-State Bus Terminal in Greater Noida , a part of the upcoming transport hub, will ensure a seamless connectivity to several destinations in northern India. To be set up in Bodaki village, it will be similar to the ISBT in Delhi and will ply hundreds of daily services to different places in UP, Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh etc.

The ISBT will be part of the transport hub which has 412.7 acres earmarked in Bodaki village. The transport hub will comprise a railway terminus, a mass rapid transit system station and an ISBT. These stations and the bus terminal will be developed in such a manner that people can swiftly switch the mode of transport.

The transport hub is developed by Integrated Industrial Township Greater Noida Limited (IITGNL).

According to Narendra Bhooshan, CEO, Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority and managing director of IITGNL, the aim is to connect Greater Noida through all modes of transport system. The Aqua Line, which is currently being developed upto Sector Delta-1, will be extended to Bodaki to connect to the transport hub.

The proposed integrated industrial township, transport hub, logistics hub, etc will make Greater Noida a central industrial hub in NCR, said officials. “A large number of companies, factories and business houses are functioning here. We’ll soon float a tender for development of the transport hub,” said Bhooshan. “These projects aim to develop a sustainable and futuristic industrial township which will also boost investment. This will also lead to more footfalls and movement of a large number of people. The government is planning to connect Greater Noida via all routes. The airport is coming up in Jewar. The metro network between Noida and Greater Noida will be inaugurated soon. Now, the ISBT will help the inter-state connectivity via roadways,” he said.

“The modalities of ISBT will be decided soon. But as per the proposed plan, people will have convenient access to the terminal. The terminal will have a state-of-the-art technology for commuting. Facilities like bus parking, space for ticketing, passenger waiting area, drinking water and toilet facilities, tourist information, security, retail shops, railway, canteen, etc. will be provided,” said another official.

IITGNL is currently preparing a DPR for the transport hub and ISBT. Once the report is completed, a developer will be hired to develop the project.

The integrated industrial township, transport hub, and logistic hub are the early bird projects of Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor in Dadri–Noida–Ghaziabad Investment Region (DNGIR). The integrated township is being developed over an area of 747.5 acres and aims to be completed in 2022. The 1,483-km Delhi-Mumbai Corridor aims to develop several industrial hubs between Delhi and Mumbai.
