Noida: A proposed electronics manufacturing cluster in Sector 10 of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area has received environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), clearing the way for common industrial infrastructure near the upcoming Noida International Airport.The Rs 339-crore cluster aims to create an integrated ecosystem for electronics manufacturing units, catering to automotive electronics such as sensors, control units and in-vehicle infotainment systems, as well as industrial electronics used in automation systems, control panels and power equipment.YEIDA additional CEO Shailendra Bhatia said that the project, spread over 206 acres with a total construction area of 1,00,889 sqm, includes development of industrial units, flatted factory, skill development centre, auditorium, community centre, crèche, employee hostel, commercial complex and associated common infrastructure.The project will support consumer electronics manufacturing, including products such as smartphones, televisions and home appliances. Medical electronics, including diagnostic equipment, monitoring systems and therapeutic devices, are also expected to be part of the ecosystem.SEIAA has also mandated that all effluent-generating industries install Zero Liquid Discharge systems, while domestic sewage from the cluster will be conveyed to the proposed 60 MLD Common Sewage Treatment Plant in Sector 29 through an underground sewer network. The project will also include 60 rainwater harvesting pits, a dedicated storm water drainage network, a 30-acre Miyawaki greenbelt, etc.YEIDA was directed to undertake Corporate Environment Responsibility work in nearby villages, including pond rejuvenation, solar street lighting, sanitation, drinking water facilities and other community infrastructure, while submitting six-monthly compliance reports to the regulatory authorities.The project will be developed under the Centre’s EMCs 2.0 scheme. The cluster’s location along the Yamuna Expressway with its proximity to the airport, is expected to attract investment from electronics and allied industries, officials said.
