Noida Film City Project Approved After Revision: Construction Starts Soon
Imagine a new town just for making movies is being built near Noida.
The first plan was rejected because it didn't have enough green space and safety checks.
The new plan fixes those problems, promising lots of green areas and safety certifications.
The first step is to build film studios and a film school.
They plan to finish this part in 18 months.
The goal is to create jobs for locals, make movie-making cheaper, and bring more movies to the area because it's close to the new airport.
YEIDA approved the revised Film City project plans.
The initial plan was rejected for violating green space rules and lacking safety certificates.
The revised plan ensures 15% green space and includes required safety clearances.
The first phase will focus on core film infrastructure.
Construction is expected to begin by the end of June, with completion in 18 months.
