The architects presented their designs remotely, and the winning entry drew inspiration from the designs of Hyderabad, Oslo, Istanbul and Zurich airports.

Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL) CEO Christoph Schnellmann said: “We are pleased to partner with Nordic, Grimshaw, Haptic and STUP to design this long-envisioned strategic project at Jewar. The team created the winning design with an efficient layout, convincing design language, multiple high-quality areas, spaced out with lush greenery with a balanced concept for both energy savings and a tangible sense of sustainability.”

YIAPL, a 100% subsidiary of Zurich Airport International, has been incorporated in the development of the Jewar airport at an estimated cost of nearly $4bn.

In October, the Government of Uttar Pradesh signed a concession agreement with YIAPL to commence airport development.
