GNIDA clears skill centre, Kasna police plot and ₹226 crore power upgrade

Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority has approved plans for a skill training and employment centre in Ecotech-1, a police-station plot for Kasna village and an upgrade to the Ecotech-10 power substation.

The proposed Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Skill Training and Employment Centre will occupy about eight acres in Ecotech-1. Planned under the state government’s skills initiative, it is expected to offer skill and language training to technical and non-technical candidates, along with placement assistance for jobs in industrial and service sectors. GNIDA will identify and allot the land free of cost after receiving consent from the micro, small and medium enterprises department.

GNIDA also plans to allot a 4,000sqm plot free of cost in Ecotech-1 Extension for a police station intended to serve Kasna village. The station is meant to serve employees, entrepreneurs and residents of the industrial area.

The board cleared an upgrade of Ecotech-10’s existing 132/33kV substation to 220/33kV, estimated at ₹226 crore. GNIDA has proposed allotting 8,945sqm of land free of cost for the project.
