Three companies, including Adani Ports , have submitted proposals to develop a 174-acre multimodal logistics park in Greater Noida 's Kappa-2. The project, launched by GNIDA on May 23, aims to attract over ₹ 1,200 crore in investment, create more than 5,000 jobs, and streamline freight movement for industries in the region.In addition to Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd , Super Handlers and Empezar Logistics have also applied for the project, officials said.The park is set to come up next to the Concor-operated dry port, which handles container storage and processing, and will feature an intermodal container terminal for cargo transport via road, rail, and air, leveraging its proximity to the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar. The facility will include container terminals, cargo yards, cold storage warehouses, and mechanised systems for handling bulk and break-bulk cargo.According to officials, the park is positioned to connect the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors, and will transform Noida into an integrated cargo hub with seamless air, rail, and road connectivity.Under the allotment scheme, developers were required to propose a minimum investment of ₹1,200 crore, excluding the estimated ₹800 crore land cost, and show at least 10 years of experience operating container depots or rail terminals. The project aligns with the state's Multi-Modal Logistics Park Policy, 2024, which offers incentives to eligible investors, officials said.On Thursday, UP chief secretary, and chairman of Noida and Greater Noida Authorities, Manoj Kumar Singh, reviewed the project during a visit to Greater Noida. Singh led a presentation session where the three companies showcased their plans, technical expertise, and investment strategies, attended by senior officials, including CEOs of the authorities."The logistics park scheme, with applications closed on June 23, aims to enhance regional logistics infrastructure by integrating multiple transport modes. It is expected to boost supply chain efficiency , reduce logistics costs for industries in western Uttar Pradesh, and create thousands of job opportunities for local youth," the chief secretary said.After the meeting, an official said that a high-level committee, chaired by Singh, will finalise the developer selection. "Once operational, the park will serve as a vital node for industrial clusters in Greater Noida and nearby areas, strengthening UP's position as a manufacturing and logistics hub," the official added.Additionally, a ₹ 8,325 crore Multi-Modal Logistics Hub , spanning 825 acres in Dadri, is under development as part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) Integrated Industrial Township in Greater Noida.

‘At DU, Over 60% Likely To Opt For 4th Yr Under FYUP'
New Delhi: Over 60 per cent of undergraduate students at Delhi University are expected to pursue the optional fourth year under the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP), vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh said on Saturday, even as questions continue to be raised about the programme's implementation and long-term viability. "DU is ready for the fourth year," Singh said at the university's executive council (EC) meeting, where several administrative and academic proposals were tabled and approved. He added that the university is fully prepared for the rollout and that solutions are being worked out for colleges facing implementation challenges. "In colleges which have a shortage of faculty, provision will be made for engaging some guest faculty as well as regular teachers from the same college or other colleges to take additional classes," Singh said. However, he clarified that only regular faculty will be assigned to teach fourth-year students, while guest faculty will teach only junior classes. He further said that provision would also be made for proper payment for both teachers and non-teaching staff handling overtime duties.

While the VC's remarks aimed to project confidence in the university's preparedness, some council members reiterated their earlier objections, pointing to challenges in sustaining academic rigour, ensuring research quality, and addressing equity in access. Among other decisions, EC approved infrastructure development projects worth nearly Rs 1,912.2 crore, including hostel construction, new academic buildings, and retrofitting of old structures across campuses. The council also approved the appointment of Prof Rajni Abbi as director of the South Campus, and endorsed the setup of solar power plants in collaboration with SECI. A committee was constituted to explore the possibility of instituting a sports scholarship in memory of former Union Minister and DU alumnus Arun Jaitley, which will consult with his family.
