Noida-Greater Noida Expressway in the context of Greater Noida
Greater Noida is a planned city located in the Gautam Buddha Nagar district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The city was created as an extension of the area under the UP Industrial Area Development Act, of 1976. Situated 40.2 km (25.0 mi) southeast of the Center of the capital city New Delhi, it takes around 30 minutes to travel between the cities via the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. The city is administered by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA).
Noida was one of several planned cities developed in the 1980s to address rapid population growth in metropolitan areas such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. However, population growth in Noida surpassed early projections, prompting the Government of Uttar Pradesh to plan an extension of the city — later developed as Greater Noida.
