The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has revised its building bylaws to align with the Airports Authority of India's (AAI) height regulations for areas surrounding the Noida International Airport in Jewar. Under the updated rules, all constructions within a 20 km radius must comply with the guidelines of AAI's Colour-Coded Zoning Map (CCZM). Any building exceeding 15 meters will now require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from AAI. The move aims to prevent obstacles near flight paths and ensure safe aircraft operations in the rapidly developing region.
The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has updated its building bylaws to integrate the height restrictions specified by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the Noida International Airport in Jewar. This update, approved during a recent board meeting, incorporates AAI's Colour-Coded Zoning Map (CCZM) into YEIDA's Building Bylaws-2010. Advertisement
Under the revised regulations, any structure exceeding 15 meters in height within a 20 km radius of the airport will require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the AAI. This step is intended to maintain clear flight paths and prevent buildings from obstructing aircraft operations, particularly as the airport and surrounding infrastructure continue to develop.
The CCZM provides detailed instructions regarding permissible building heights based on how close a construction site is to the airport's runways. By embedding these guidelines into the local bylaws, YEIDA ensures that all new developments are compliant with national aviation safety standards. The revision also aims to make the process of approvals for construction projects faster and more transparent in areas around the airport.
To support proper implementation, YEIDA plans to hire consultants who will assess the areas affected by these new rules. These consultants will help define clear norms regarding floor area ratio (FAR), ground coverage, and the maximum height allowed for buildings. Once finalized, these norms will be strictly enforced, and building plans will be approved only if they comply with the CCZM standards.
This integration comes at a time when the Jewar airport is set to become one of India's major aviation hubs, and the surrounding region is seeing increasing construction activity. Aligning building rules with aviation safety measures ensures that urban growth and airport operations progress in a coordinated manner, minimizing risks to air traffic.
