The UP cadre IAS officer, who is also the Managing Director of Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC), divulged her plans to reimagine Noida and Greater Noida as global commercial hubs in a conversation with Ruhail Amin of BW Businessworld. Excerpts:
How are you trying to re-imagine Noida and Greater Noida? What are the big steps that have been taken in this direction?
Noida as we see today, is the best planned city in the country and the modern face of Uttar Pradesh. In 1976 the city was envisioned as a well-planned township. Today it is not only among the most sought-after industrial destinations in the country but also the most sought after residential, commercial and educational hub. From the planning perspective, it has turned out to be impressive on all fronts. Over the next few years, what we envision to do is to upgrade the infrastructure to much better standards. So far, it is the best city in terms of liveability and infrastructure in UP, but definitely we need to match up with the rising population and the rising expectations of people.
